      doesn't matter your age. It is because you don't have the leg and other muscles developed for skateboarding yet. Skate often, stretch after each session and after a few more weeks you won't feel that sore anymore.

      When I first started skating I didn't like riding long distances but all my friends that skated for years would skate around like 15 miles a day which was hard for me to do but with consistancy it became easy and I enjoy skating with my friends no matter the distance. So just keep at it and you'll get better and more use to it even if you don't feel like you are

    • @takenskate
      @takenskate 5 років тому +5

      I'm 15 and i only started skating about 1year ago, but with consistency I can ollie, pop shuv, varial, kickflip. Just keep at it practice as much as you can and I have no doubt you'll get some sick tricks🤙

    the commitment/fear one is so true and i cant stress that enough to new skaters including myself. i didnt try an ollie on concrete on the first two weeks of learning and when i finally tried with full commitment i actually landed it. One thing that helped is recording your progess, id record my grass ollies and slow them down to see if i was doing the movements right, and it feels really good knowing you did an ollie and just didnt land right so you can see what youre doing wrong! :)

      Varian Manek yeah kinda but it's also not only about the flatgroud...

      @HyenaFox 6 років тому +10

      I would personally say that once you learn how to Ollie, you are no longer a beginner. Intermediate is starting to learn fliptricks. Also, once you start being able to get a longer tricklist. If you are able to do stuff like Boneless, No Comply 180, maybe some slappy grinds on curbs, Strawberry Milkshake, and 180s, that's more intermediate stuff.

    :59 Thank you for answering the 'which one is the tail' question. I just got back into skateboarding after like a two decade hiatus and I couldn't remember which was the front and which was the back. I got the Zero single skull deck and I was thinking "Well, the top of the skull should be the front...but then again, if I was skating with the teeth pointing toward the front, then it would have the perspective of the skull flying forward so maybe that's right." So I over-thinked myself into a place where what should be simple became too complex hehe.

    • @jacksamunster4407
      @jacksamunster4407 6 років тому

      Livviu very common, think everyone has had that moment. The nose is always bigger than the tail. I actually switch my board around and use the nose as my tail, and the tail as the nose. No real reason or advantage, I just prefer a bigger tail and a mellow nose. Skate a blank and nobody will know :p

  • @HyenaFox
    @HyenaFox 6 років тому +2

    I insictively try to impress people walking down the street, if I'm just riding and I see someone, I'll try some random trick and most of the time, I'll either not land it or land it and then immediately hit a rock or something and just look like I have no idea what I'm doing. The one time I do actually land it in front of them, 8 times out of 10 they don't care or didn't notice. The other 1 time though, I'll get a "Cool!" And that's good. The other 1 time out of 10 it's some old guy telling me to be careful.

  • @M_Lama
    @M_Lama 6 років тому

    For the questions about not landing both feet on the board or the board flying away from you, I found that my problem with that is partly fear and commitment but largely the way I balance my weight on the board for a trick. For example, when trying to learn a kickflip I was putting most of my weight towards my back foot instead of keeping it even between both feet and that's what was causing my board to fly ahead of me instead of staying under my feet preventing me from putting my back food on to land.

    For 1:38 I met someone who had a similar problem, except instead he always tried tricks rolling fakie. He had supposedly been skating for 6 years just not trying tricks so it was hard for him to stop. By the end of the day he was still trying to do his first ollie riding fakie with almost Daewon level loose trucks. It was a confusing 2 hours for both of us

    How to make you razor tailed board last longer: get wood filler and sand paper, apply the wood filler onto the place that is to thin. Then spread it with a knife. Once the wood filler has dried use the sand paper to smoother out the wood filler.

    @vlskate you are my favorite UA-cam skater, I skated alot when I was 13 to 16 but stopped after high school I am now 22 and I watched some of your videos and I got a skateboard and got back into and when ever I was having trouble learning a new trick I would come to your channel. I would like to say I am a pretty decent skater now and it is a huge passion of mine and I just wanted to say thank you! Also your probably not even gonna see this but if you do I would love to skate with you that would be legit 👌🏻😂💯

I can't wait and I've been watching skating videos because I'm so excited! :)

    i'm a goofy rider, and used to think it was easier to do tricks regular, but that's because usually, skateboarders skate regular. So, if you're learning of tutorials, or other skaters, try to learn of people that also ride goofy. Worked wonders for me, and though it sounds obvious, you typically don't think about basic stuff like this :)

    I bought a Walmart board before I started really getting into it because it was all I could afford. It hasn’t broken yet and I ride completely fine after tightening the trucks! I know I’ll probably have to upgrade eventually, but I can’t afford to now so I’ll continue to work with what I have
