    i’m 25 and i decided i’ve had enough of my cruiser board just being decoration, so after i got a full set of protection gear, i went to my nearest park and got to riding.
    and i just wanna say that your 3rd tip about needing confidence is so true. somehow the slower i went, i kept tripping and stopping, but the moment i just went for it, i finally managed to turn my front foot sideways and even managed to turn it back to pointing forward to gain speed.
    thanks for this video man

    I'm over 30 and I just started today, bought Landyachtz cruiser. I was so afraid I won't be able to do it, but it's actually much better than I expected! Can't turn the front foot sideways yet, but overall, the first experience was okay. I didn't injure myself, so that's nice. 😁 I will probably struggle with confidence tho.

    One thing that helped me push better and feel more comfortable was to put my weight towards the ball of my front foot. I found that whenever I would put weight on the heel of my foot when pushing, the board would launch forward causing me to lose balance.

      what I've learned is that should you have to get over a crack, always do it diagonally. It might sound counterintuitive, but it works. never go straight, make sure that your rolls hit the crack one after another, that way the board can absorb the bump :)

  • @benjdewantara
    @benjdewantara 2 роки тому +9

    Nice video and helpful tips!
    Although, I would argue that front foot parallel to the board and perpendicular to back foot is for balance and stability when trying to move straight ahead. In fact, one should try to make both their feet as parallel to the board as they can if they want balance and stability. This is why downhill longboarders position their feet like that.
    Both feet being perpendicular to the board is for maneuverability, i.e. turning left and right. This is nice for low to medium speed cruising around. But if I suddenly get to a downhill path, no matter how small it is, I will definitely position my front foot parallel to the board for balance

    • @OgdenSikel
      @OgdenSikel  2 роки тому +20

      For beginners who don’t have a masterful control of a board, that is not a good idea. Beginners need to feel confident and somewhat safe when learning to ride, and a perpendicular stance is the easiest way to control that maneuverability. If feet are parallel and a beginner gets a wobble or unexpected turn, it’s over.
      Also keep in mind that beginners are likely not going from zero experience to instant downhill bombs

    I bought a cruiser, practiced for a few weeks, thought I am doing great and then fell off into a front split and tore my hamstring real bad. Which board would you recommend for total beginners who want to use it mainly for commutes? @Ogden Sikel

      Top mount Longboard with a kick tail

    • @OgdenSikel
      @OgdenSikel  3 роки тому +13

      For larger commutes I prefer longer boards for beginners because they can absorb cracks and stuff a lot easier so they’re safer…my life’s tan tien is great but also very pricey…look into drop throughs for the best stability, or top mounts for a little nicer turning ability. If you get a cheaper board make sure to buy better bearings as an upgrade.
      Any boards from loaded or landyachtz would be my recommendation for high quality decks!
