One more thing, knowing how tight or loose one's wheel must be is very important for us new skaters because I couldn't even do these simple steps because my wheels were too loose...10minutes later I cruising down the street 🎉🎉
@@sifisomthimunye6789 Both wheels and trucks! If the nut on the wheel is too tight then the wheels won’t spin. Too loose and they could fall off or break the trucks/ bearings. If your trucks are too loose then it could be hard for you to first gain your balance or even turn if you have wheel bite. Definitely two important points to think about!
I’m glad you think so! I’ve been meaning to make this one for a while as I haven’t seen any that break it down to this level. Hopefully some folks brand new find it, and it helps to kickstart their passion!
Loyal! Excellent video. One thing is to pad up. The first six months of skating is likely the most dangerous, so wear a helmet, and padding all around. Last thing you want is to fall on your elbow and have to take time off for an injury. One thing that really helped me once I got comfortable pushing around was to try to roll around with only one foot on the board and the other foot kind of off the board but ready to push again. That was really when I felt like I had more control of the board and rolling around. Still a newbie, but loving every minute of it! Thanks for an awesome series. Couldn't do it without you!
Very true on the padding up, especially in the beginning! Good tip on the keeping one foot on the board and the other off. You may not have even realized it, but that probably helped a ton with gaining balance! Keep up the good work my friend! 🙌
Just learned this the hard way lol. Took a big fall that banged up my elbow. Thankfully nothing major, but gotta take a few days off to heal up and imma wait now till i can get some pads
Newbie! Literally just started yesterday! Thanks, I have a great fear of losing balance and falling and just want to become comfortable with the feel of the board and like I have some kind of control even if it rolls easily under me. Gonna give these steps a try to build my confidence! 😊
Welcome to skating and to the channel. Take things slow and really build a solid foundation getting comfortable on the board. A lot of people quit because they try to rush in and either can’t progress or get injured. Just remember that skating is hard, but that’s part of the fun/ beauty! I’m here if you have any questions!

New Skater at 44! Thanks for the tips.I suppose at my age, having never skated before, it was common sense for me to hold on to something at first! It’s fun, but it is a challenge to find that center of gravity at times. The couple falls I’ve taken so far have been backwards (Ouch! No fun - too much weight on my back foot plus I start to lean back towards the tail as my body tries to stop, then, of course, I shoot the board out from under me). I have a cruiser, but the board is pretty much the size of a regular skateboard and has a flat nose. Any other tips to train the rest of my body to stop leaning towards the tail when I pop up the front?
Hey Stacey! Welcome to skateboarding and the channel! It’s pretty common for beginner skaters to slip out backwards. I think it’s because they’re afraid to fall forward so they unknowingly cause themselves to do the opposite. My beat suggestion is to keep your feet spread out evenly on the board with knees bent and your head looking straight done the center of your body at the center of the board. If the weight of your head is centered, it’s a lot harder to slip in either direction. Keep you back foot off the tail for now if possible as well. That way your not automatically popping the board down if you lose your balance. Lastly, be sure to pad up and take your time. There’s no rush, and I promise you’re going to love it once you’re able to start cruising around!
New skater here. I've had this cruiser board for years and finally decided to try and learn. I might change to a regular board as I've heard they are easier to learn on. I started by skating next to a wall for reassurance, but I'll definitely try these excercises to help learn balance. I came off the board (put too much weight on my back foot) but I'm undeterred. Its also a hell of a workout for someone who hasnt been very active for long.
Glad you’re finally getting into it! Also glad you’re not left the falls deter you as there will be many to come, especially if you decide to start learning tricks. A cruiser or longboard are probably easier to learn on simply because they tend to be wider and longer. More surface area and more forgiving. Just be sure to take your time and really get down your balance while standing still then leaning around. This will drastically help you once you start pushing!
New skater! Did aggressive skating for a long time. Still on it but wanted to get the starting new experience again so I grabbed a skateboard and realized while not everything is 'new' it's still a complete different thing to learn. Feels so hard to do compared to my blades. Cheers Edit: wanted to add that I can do an ollie quite ok from just doing that while being stationary. When I wanted to try more I realized that without the balance I'm missing a lot of possible progression. That's how I ended here on UA-cam watching yours video trying your tips.
@@CptBudLightbeer I appreciate the background info and insight for others to read. If people would take the time to get the balance down well in the beginning, I think they would find that skateboarding becomes drastically more fun in less time! Cheers to you for realizing that! 👊
Just got back into skating after 25 year break a few weeks ago but was using a Walmart board got decent overall. Today I got a reliance board and some decent truck setup and now I can barely stand on it bearing are so smooth and fast. It's like I'm starting all over again.
@@deenoberry3360 Welcome back to skating! Your comment gave me a little laugh. It’s crazy the difference a set of good bearings make. That’s a big change from what you were used to. You’ll be glad you got a decent setup as you get back into it though. Makes things a lot easier and more fun as you regain your balance.
new skater! ive been wanting to skate since i was maybe around 11, tried it for a bit... never got the hang of the balancing part :') im 16 right now and ive decided to really try to dedicate myself to learning how to skateboard this year ^_^
@@shootingairplanes 🙌 Welcome back! Take the time to get your balance and I promise pushing, cruising around, and starting tricks when you’re ready will be a lot easier. Skating is hard and that’s why a lot of people quit. Stick with it this time and you’re going to love it once it starts clicking for you!
I Found your video among other teaching videos. Thanks so muck for taking the time to teach new skateboarders like myself. Coming to this very late in life, but looking for a challenge. I’m in my 60s and I suppose most people will think I am crazy to do this. I am in pretty good shape for my age. I purchased my board at a local skate shop and got all the protection and taking my time. These examples will help for sure. The first time I went out ( shoulder have gotten balance down more)I succeeded riding and getting up on the board but I took 3 hard falls in the first 10 minutes. The padding probably saved me from breaking my arm or wrist. Shook it off and continued more cautiously. I just lost control of the board so now slowing it down and working on balance. Thanks again!
Never too late to start! That being said, falls definitely hurt more the older we get. Pretty common to take a few hard falls out of the gate. Smart move to take your time and really get your balance down. Get the basics and you’ll be cruising around soon enough! Welcome to the sport and the channel. Here to help if I you have any specific questions!
@@MidlifeSk8r Welcome to the channel! I was basically in the same boat when starting back up. It’s tough to be consistent these days, but it’s still a ton of fun when you’re able to get out. Keep at it and you’ll be glad you did! Take it slow as well. Falls definitely hurt more these days! 😅
@@SkatingwithAaron yeah I've fallen twice now and the second one has my elbow feeling sore lol I need to practice falling!! Finding time to skate everyday should not be an issue because my 6 year old daughter is ALWAYS down to go to the park! I'm overweight and I am hoping that tis FUN CARDIO will help me lose weight!(along with proper dieting of course)
@@MidlifeSk8r The elbows will definitely take some abuse with falls. If at all possible try to make your body roll as you’re contacting the ground. Easier said than done I know. Skating is definitely phenomenal exercise. Not to mention that’s fantastic time and memories being built with your daughter! Cheers to that!
New Skater. i used to ride a ripstick as a kid but that is a little different to a skateboard. I got myself a new board last week and have been too nervous to go to my local skatepark. So, just working on my balance in the garage. Definitely going to try out these tips tomorrow!
I never could ride a ripstick. If you could, then you’ll definitely be able to skate! Just take the time to learn and be patient while doing so. Here to help if I can!
I dont skate at all really but a few months ago me and my siblings decided to use the pennyboard that our parents got us a few years ago. I know how to ride a skateboard without trouble though.I dont use it but now that im quarinted im trying to do tricks and stuff so ill be watching your vids now
Welcome to the channel! Quarantine is the perfect time to start learning. As long as you have a board, you’re good to go. A Penny board is not the best for tricks, but it’s better than no board! Let me know if you have questions!
@@MLopez-rn1zh You can ollie on them, but it’s extremely difficult to even do that. If you want to learn tricks, then you’ll definitely want a popsicle style skateboard. Sounds like you’ve got an awesome Dad! Be sure to tell him thanks for being so cool!
@@MLopez-rn1zh Glad to hear you’re over Covid! I’ve never personally skated a Santa Cruz, but I bet you’re going to love it! Especially as you start learning tricks!
Never too late to learn! Take your time and make sure you get extremely comfortable standing on the board leaning in different directions without falling off. The more comfortable you get the easier it will be to start cruising around and having fun! Here to help if I can!
Hey Mário! Welcome to skating and welcome to the fam! That’s awesome your daughter skates, and even cooler that you’re spending time skating with her. Hats off to you!

We all have to start somewhere! That’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Don’t worry about what others will think and just get out there and start trying.

I’m a newbie skater Hello sir Aaron..u’re so great..no matter what u n everyone says,u ARE a pro for me sir Aaron..i’m just nothing.. But..i wanna give u hidden treasure for ur ollie tutorial for newbie skaters just like me Aaron,it’s not actually a secret bcoz u n all the skater who manage to did an ollie so great did this already everytime..just didn’t realize it.. U might wanna make a new ollie tutorial after this with the treasure that i woukd like to share to u..of course after u prove my word is make sense or not.. Have u consider about “back pop”??i hope u want to spend sometime to do some research just like i did to prove my word..watch some slomotion ollie of anyone that did or doing a great ollie or it might aswell ur own ollie in slomotion,see if what i said is right or not..that u guys actually did a lil bit backward pop motion everytime u did an ollie,juuuuust very lil bit backward direction of pop,not really 180° trajectory pop,not exactly straight down below pop..the skateboard always a lil bit move backward (u can see the back wheel movement assuming the skater starting the motion from the stationed skateboard,not moving or cruising) while the nose starting to lifted up from the pop.. There you go sir Aaron..sorry for the long writing,doesn’t mean to teach anything to anyone,hell i just a newbie myself that even barely can do a stationary ollie yet.. But i u can prove that this is indeed the hidden treasure of ollie,it’s all yours now sir Aaron..i’m happy i can share this to a great skater like u..if it doesn’t,then don’t mind me,u can just ignore this to much talking newbie for nothing.. Thank you sir Aaron,you’re so awesome..😇😇🙏🙏🎉🎉🛹🛹
Hey Richard! Welcome to the channel. Thanks for the comment, you’re too kind! I believe by “back pop” you’re referring to how in a stationary position the board appears to move backwards slightly at the wheels as you’re attempting to pop the Ollie. I do agree that yes this happens, but only due to the transfer of weight and mechanics of the motion to get the board up. As you get better, this will happen less and less. I personally don’t think that there is anything in particular about this that would help a beginner with their Ollie. Honestly most beginners get hung up in the details and this is something you probably don’t need to worry about. I could be wrong or misunderstanding. You should make a tutorial about it and see if others find it helpful!
@@SkatingwithAaron thank you sir Aaron,thank you very much..someone expert finally gave me an honest opinion about this,thank you so much once again sir Aaron..yeah,maybe you right,maybe i got it wrong from the way i watched those Slomo video..i’m looking forward for your next tutorial clip sir Aaron,i’d be happy to watch all your skate video,so inspiring..keep skating for life my mentor,peace out..😆😆🙏🙏🙌🛹
Hey, is Z-flex too advanced? I've never skated before and I got a Z-flex skateboard, having an experienced skater from reddit walk me through what to look for when buying and they said my board should be good. However I'm having severe balancing issues, and even my mom said that the board is too wobbly for a beginner.
@@The_AuraMaster Hey. Welcome to the channel! As far as I’m aware, Z- flex is just a brand of board that makes cruisers and popsicle styled boards. Which type did you get? Either way, it sounds as if your trucks are too loose. Get an Allen key and tighten them up and you’ll see the board is more stable. You don’t want it to be super stiff otherwise that detracts from your ability to turn without kickturning. It’s different for everyone so take a day to play around with tightening/loosening until you find something that feels right for you.
lol. Welcome back! It might take a minute to start getting things back depending on where you were when you first stopped. Stick with it though and you’ll soon wish you never stopped!
New skater at 19. I'm getting frustrated with even the basics. When I try to push around and actually get moving, my board either stops after a few seconds, or starts going backwards. Do you know what might be causing this issue?
The stopping might be cheaper bearings/ trucks or having the nut holding your wheels too tight. As for the going backwards I’m not sure. Skating is hard and that’s a major reason most people quit. Take your time and get your balance down and it will pay dividends down the road when you start trying tricks!
Haha, I love the honesty! Welcome to the community. Just take your time and make sure you feel comfortable with your balance before you try to add on. Very easy to get injured if trying something you’re not ready for!
@@Eli-Hokiesfan Best thing you can do it get on your board as often as possible. The more time on board the easier it will become. It’s definitely tough at first though. Take your time and really get down the basics. You can do this! 👊
Different for everyone! It’s important to not judge yourself based on other peoples skill levels as you never know how easy or hard it came for them. All I can say is it depends on how much time you’re willing to spend on your board. Also make sure that you’re practicing with intent and paying attention to what’s happening. If you focus on these things then you will begin to pick it up quickly. It’ll be well worth it as you get the hang of things!
@@SkatingwithAaron thank you, I'll keep working on it, I have a habit of judging myself too harshly too early. I appreciate the encouragement and of course the helpful videos you make!
@@fen1604 I’m the same way. Definitely my harshest critic. Just gotta stick with it and give yourself the time to grow. Self analyzing is huge as well! If you get stuck on something then film yourself if you can and watch back in slow-mo yo see if you can pick up what’s going wrong!
Follow these steps and take a lot of time standing on the board. Start on carpet so you can’t roll. Get really comfortable leaning in different directions and pushing down the nose/ tail with out falling off. Then you’ll be ready to take it outside and hold onto something to get up your courage/ confidence. You can do this! Just going to need time and effort!
@@CuddieMarc Dude that’s awesome! Way to go! Keep working on getting comfortable on your board then pushing around. Once you can ride without falling, you can start trying manuals and shuvits if you want. Work your way into it! No rush!
I've been trying this but for me. It doesn't work I'm too scared to try and push the bored cause 3 xmas ago I broke my hand badly on my skateboard and that was the first day I had it please help i can't do anything on it without holding a wall
Fear is a big part of skating. Especially understandable with a past injury! Try pulling yourself along the wall, or pushing with your hands next to a table. That way you can control how slow or fast you go. Just be sure to not put all your weight agains the wall or on the table. Stay balanced over your board so when you gain the confidence to move away, you’re use to the correct position.
Not going to lie…you’ve got a long and hard journey ahead of you. The good news is that everyone learns at their own pace. The more time you practice the easier it will get! I suggest starting inside on carpet, or outside holding onto something like a fence or table. Remember you’re not putting your weight in it as a support, just lightly holding on in case you need to grab something. You’ve got this!
The fear of falling will always be there, it’ll just lessen as you become more comfortable! Take your time and get down the basics like the video suggests. Pad up if it’ll help boost your confidence. As for falling, every situation is different. Try not to tense up when hitting the ground, and use your momentum to roll if possible. Yes, I know this is easier said than done, but it’s something you’ll get better at with time.
@@mocha_chuchay5945 Welcome! An electric skateboard is a great way to work on getting your stance and balance down. That will help you transition to a longboard, cruiser, or popsicle styled board if you ever want to. You can always practice giving the first push on your electric board if you want as well.
Yes you can. It helps if you have an idea of what your end goal is, but anything in the beginning to get you started is better than nothing. If you don’t have a specific goal in mind then try different types of boards if possible until you find what you like.
Welcome my friend! Just saw your other comment. Glad you’re soaking up what you can and getting hyped to get out there! I’m here to help if you find you get stuck!
Dang dude you’re tall! Welcome to the fam! You can skate just the same as anyone else. Just really focus on the basics first and getting comfortable on your board and you’ll be good to go!
@@dgracia72 Skateboarding is mentally tough, and that fear never fully goes away. Especially as you age. That being said it’s one of the most rewarding things when you overcome that fear and learn something new! You can do it!
Lol, I love it! My hat's off to you! Never too young to learn anything. We only get old when we stop moving. Happy to help anyway I can if you get stuck!
Oh yah sorry..when u are willing to do some research to prove my word..watch the slow motion stationary ollie of everyone that already able to do it fluently..stationary,not the moving ollie,or cruising ollie,mobilized ollie,strolling ollie or whatever it is call..
Yes sir I know what you’re talking about and it does happen. It’s something that will become less and less noticeable as you become more consistent and efficient with your Ollie.

This video is gonna help me so much, I have a disability and my balance is really bad and I’ve been wanting to learn so bad, thank you so much!
I’m glad you found the video helpful! Let me know if you have questions. Skating is a blast once you get the basics down. You can do it! 🙌
Did you ever learn?? If u did any tips?
I needed this cause my balance is horrible I can’t even ride a few feet without shaking like crazy
You’re definitely not alone! Keep practicing and you’ll get there!
Just stepped on a skateboard first time in life at 24, we’ll see how it goes.
Welcome! How did it go?
Best beginner video
Much appreciated! Here to help if I can! 👊
Just got back into skating after 25 year break a few weeks ago but was using a Walmart board got decent overall. Today I got a reliance board and some decent truck setup and now I can barely stand on it bearing are so smooth and fast. It's like I'm starting all over again.
@@deenoberry3360 Welcome back to skating! Your comment gave me a little laugh. It’s crazy the difference a set of good bearings make. That’s a big change from what you were used to. You’ll be glad you got a decent setup as you get back into it though. Makes things a lot easier and more fun as you regain your balance.
new skater! ive been wanting to skate since i was maybe around 11, tried it for a bit... never got the hang of the balancing part :') im 16 right now and ive decided to really try to dedicate myself to learning how to skateboard this year ^_^
@@shootingairplanes 🙌 Welcome back! Take the time to get your balance and I promise pushing, cruising around, and starting tricks when you’re ready will be a lot easier. Skating is hard and that’s why a lot of people quit. Stick with it this time and you’re going to love it once it starts clicking for you!
I Found your video among other teaching videos. Thanks so muck for taking the time to teach new skateboarders like myself. Coming to this very late in life, but looking for a challenge. I’m in my 60s and I suppose most people will think I am crazy to do this. I am in pretty good shape for my age. I purchased my board at a local skate shop and got all the protection and taking my time. These examples will help for sure. The first time I went out ( shoulder have gotten balance down more)I succeeded riding and getting up on the board but I took 3 hard falls in the first 10 minutes. The padding probably saved me from breaking my arm or wrist. Shook it off and continued more cautiously. I just lost control of the board so now slowing it down and working on balance. Thanks again!
Never too late to start! That being said, falls definitely hurt more the older we get. Pretty common to take a few hard falls out of the gate. Smart move to take your time and really get your balance down. Get the basics and you’ll be cruising around soon enough! Welcome to the sport and the channel. Here to help if I you have any specific questions!

New Skater.
I skated as a kid but that was 26 years ago, so I feel like I am starting over from scratch.
@@MidlifeSk8r Welcome to the channel! I was basically in the same boat when starting back up. It’s tough to be consistent these days, but it’s still a ton of fun when you’re able to get out. Keep at it and you’ll be glad you did! Take it slow as well. Falls definitely hurt more these days! 😅
@@SkatingwithAaron yeah I've fallen twice now and the second one has my elbow feeling sore lol I need to practice falling!! Finding time to skate everyday should not be an issue because my 6 year old daughter is ALWAYS down to go to the park! I'm overweight and I am hoping that tis FUN CARDIO will help me lose weight!(along with proper dieting of course)
@@MidlifeSk8r The elbows will definitely take some abuse with falls. If at all possible try to make your body roll as you’re contacting the ground. Easier said than done I know. Skating is definitely phenomenal exercise. Not to mention that’s fantastic time and memories being built with your daughter! Cheers to that!
new skater at 47, thank you! 😊
Welcome my friend!
This is dope but I'd like to add that I'd suggest getting use balancing on 1 leg on your board
That’s a good tip for sure. Probably a little more advanced than most people watching this video are ready for though. 🤙🏻
My 6 yo daughter is a new skater, Thanks for the easily understood video!!!
That’s awesome! Do you skate with her? Welcome to the channel either way. Glad you found it helpful!

Welcome to the channel! 👋
I dont skate at all really but a few months ago me and my siblings decided to use the pennyboard that our parents got us a few years ago. I know how to ride a skateboard without trouble though.I dont use it but now that im quarinted im trying to do tricks and stuff so ill be watching your vids now
Welcome to the channel! Quarantine is the perfect time to start learning. As long as you have a board, you’re good to go. A Penny board is not the best for tricks, but it’s better than no board! Let me know if you have questions!
I now learned that you cant ollie on a pennyboard. My dad said we’ll go to a skateshop soon once we can to get my a skateboard.
@@MLopez-rn1zh You can ollie on them, but it’s extremely difficult to even do that. If you want to learn tricks, then you’ll definitely want a popsicle style skateboard. Sounds like you’ve got an awesome Dad! Be sure to tell him thanks for being so cool!
Hey, I bought a santa cruz board today at the mall. Just got cleared from covid
@@MLopez-rn1zh Glad to hear you’re over Covid! I’ve never personally skated a Santa Cruz, but I bet you’re going to love it! Especially as you start learning tricks!
this worked so well for me, thank u!!
Glad I could help. I appreciate the feedback as well!
Omg. Thank you
You’re welcome! 🙌
new skater at 62 - bought a longboard and having fun - pushing is hard for me and so is balance.
Never too late to learn! Take your time and make sure you get extremely comfortable standing on the board leaning in different directions without falling off. The more comfortable you get the easier it will be to start cruising around and having fun! Here to help if I can!
39, new skater, new subscriber 🙂
Dragged to the skatepark by my 10 yo daughter who also wants to learn.
Hey Mário! Welcome to skating and welcome to the fam! That’s awesome your daughter skates, and even cooler that you’re spending time skating with her. Hats off to you! My son is only 3 so I can’t wait for him to get a little older and hopefully into skating. I’m here anytime y’all need help so ask away if you’ve got an questions and I’ll see what I can do!

ive never been on a skateboard before. i really want to go out there and practice but im too embarrassted to do it. but ill see if i can make up some free time when the neighboorhoods empty or something, and hopefully things will go well.
We all have to start somewhere! That’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Don’t worry about what others will think and just get out there and start trying. The more time you get on the board the easier it will become. Who knows, someone passing by may see you trying and stop the help or join you. People are more kind than you think! You’ve got this!
@@SkatingwithAaron thanks a lot. you dont know how much what you said meant to me

Welcome!
I’m a newbie skater
Hello sir Aaron..u’re so great..no matter what u n everyone says,u ARE a pro for me sir Aaron..i’m just nothing..
But..i wanna give u hidden treasure for ur ollie tutorial for newbie skaters just like me Aaron,it’s not actually a secret bcoz u n all the skater who manage to did an ollie so great did this already everytime..just didn’t realize it..
U might wanna make a new ollie tutorial after this with the treasure that i woukd like to share to u..of course after u prove my word is make sense or not..
Have u consider about “back pop”??i hope u want to spend sometime to do some research just like i did to prove my word..watch some slomotion ollie of anyone that did or doing a great ollie or it might aswell ur own ollie in slomotion,see if what i said is right or not..that u guys actually did a lil bit backward pop motion everytime u did an ollie,juuuuust very lil bit backward direction of pop,not really 180° trajectory pop,not exactly straight down below pop..the skateboard always a lil bit move backward (u can see the back wheel movement assuming the skater starting the motion from the stationed skateboard,not moving or cruising) while the nose starting to lifted up from the pop..
There you go sir Aaron..sorry for the long writing,doesn’t mean to teach anything to anyone,hell i just a newbie myself that even barely can do a stationary ollie yet..
But i u can prove that this is indeed the hidden treasure of ollie,it’s all yours now sir Aaron..i’m happy i can share this to a great skater like u..if it doesn’t,then don’t mind me,u can just ignore this to much talking newbie for nothing..
Thank you sir Aaron,you’re so awesome..😇😇🙏🙏🎉🎉🛹🛹
Hey Richard! Welcome to the channel. Thanks for the comment, you’re too kind! I believe by “back pop” you’re referring to how in a stationary position the board appears to move backwards slightly at the wheels as you’re attempting to pop the Ollie. I do agree that yes this happens, but only due to the transfer of weight and mechanics of the motion to get the board up. As you get better, this will happen less and less. I personally don’t think that there is anything in particular about this that would help a beginner with their Ollie. Honestly most beginners get hung up in the details and this is something you probably don’t need to worry about. I could be wrong or misunderstanding. You should make a tutorial about it and see if others find it helpful!
@@SkatingwithAaron thank you sir Aaron,thank you very much..someone expert finally gave me an honest opinion about this,thank you so much once again sir Aaron..yeah,maybe you right,maybe i got it wrong from the way i watched those Slomo video..i’m looking forward for your next tutorial clip sir Aaron,i’d be happy to watch all your skate video,so inspiring..keep skating for life my mentor,peace out..😆😆🙏🙏🙌🛹

Hey, is Z-flex too advanced? I've never skated before and I got a Z-flex skateboard, having an experienced skater from reddit walk me through what to look for when buying and they said my board should be good. However I'm having severe balancing issues, and even my mom said that the board is too wobbly for a beginner.
@@The_AuraMaster Hey. Welcome to the channel! As far as I’m aware, Z- flex is just a brand of board that makes cruisers and popsicle styled boards. Which type did you get? Either way, it sounds as if your trucks are too loose. Get an Allen key and tighten them up and you’ll see the board is more stable. You don’t want it to be super stiff otherwise that detracts from your ability to turn without kickturning. It’s different for everyone so take a day to play around with tightening/loosening until you find something that feels right for you.
New skater!! ❤
Welcome! 👋
2 weeks in just started again with 27 - my balance is ass af lol
lol. Welcome back! It might take a minute to start getting things back depending on where you were when you first stopped. Stick with it though and you’ll soon wish you never stopped!
New skater at 19. I'm getting frustrated with even the basics. When I try to push around and actually get moving, my board either stops after a few seconds, or starts going backwards. Do you know what might be causing this issue?
The stopping might be cheaper bearings/ trucks or having the nut holding your wheels too tight. As for the going backwards I’m not sure. Skating is hard and that’s a major reason most people quit. Take your time and get your balance down and it will pay dividends down the road when you start trying tricks!
New skater (51!) and terrified lol
Haha, I love the honesty! Welcome to the community. Just take your time and make sure you feel comfortable with your balance before you try to add on. Very easy to get injured if trying something you’re not ready for!
New skater 17, getting used to it but damn it's hard
Truth! It’ll get easier with time and dedication, but there’s always a new challenge. One of the hardest and yet most rewarding sports I’ve ever done!
New skater at 20. I read need help on balancing which I am struggling with.
Great age to start! Did the video help or no? What are you still struggling with?
@@SkatingwithAaron the balance and comfort on the board.
@@SkatingwithAaron and not quite yet.
@@Eli-Hokiesfan Best thing you can do it get on your board as often as possible. The more time on board the easier it will become. It’s definitely tough at first though. Take your time and really get down the basics. You can do this! 👊
How long would you say each step should take? Im new and can hardly stand on the board and im worried i wont get the hang of it
Different for everyone! It’s important to not judge yourself based on other peoples skill levels as you never know how easy or hard it came for them. All I can say is it depends on how much time you’re willing to spend on your board. Also make sure that you’re practicing with intent and paying attention to what’s happening. If you focus on these things then you will begin to pick it up quickly. It’ll be well worth it as you get the hang of things!
@@SkatingwithAaron thank you, I'll keep working on it, I have a habit of judging myself too harshly too early. I appreciate the encouragement and of course the helpful videos you make!
@@fen1604 I’m the same way. Definitely my harshest critic. Just gotta stick with it and give yourself the time to grow. Self analyzing is huge as well! If you get stuck on something then film yourself if you can and watch back in slow-mo yo see if you can pick up what’s going wrong!

I want to be a new skater but I can’t move on a skateboard without falling off balance
Follow these steps and take a lot of time standing on the board. Start on carpet so you can’t roll. Get really comfortable leaning in different directions and pushing down the nose/ tail with out falling off. Then you’ll be ready to take it outside and hold onto something to get up your courage/ confidence. You can do this! Just going to need time and effort!

I've been trying this but for me. It doesn't work I'm too scared to try and push the bored cause 3 xmas ago I broke my hand badly on my skateboard and that was the first day I had it please help i can't do anything on it without holding a wall
Fear is a big part of skating. Especially understandable with a past injury! Try pulling yourself along the wall, or pushing with your hands next to a table. That way you can control how slow or fast you go. Just be sure to not put all your weight agains the wall or on the table. Stay balanced over your board so when you gain the confidence to move away, you’re use to the correct position.
@@SkatingwithAaron thanks man so far I'm getting a bit better with putting my 2nd foot on the board so I'm improving
@@kingdeadpool20 That’s great! Keep taking baby steps as your get more comfortable and you’ll be riding just fine before you know it!
@@SkatingwithAaron thanks man
@@kingdeadpool20 You’re welcome!
Loyal😆😆🙏🙏
Much appreciated! 👊🍍
I have a question I can barely even stand on a board when it's completely stopped, I drop on both sides and can't keep it balanced
Not going to lie…you’ve got a long and hard journey ahead of you. The good news is that everyone learns at their own pace. The more time you practice the easier it will get! I suggest starting inside on carpet, or outside holding onto something like a fence or table. Remember you’re not putting your weight in it as a support, just lightly holding on in case you need to grab something. You’ve got this!
New Skater
Welcome!
Bought a skateboard today its hard to trust this piece of wood but im scared to fall and break a bone. How can i fall correctly?
The fear of falling will always be there, it’ll just lessen as you become more comfortable! Take your time and get down the basics like the video suggests. Pad up if it’ll help boost your confidence. As for falling, every situation is different. Try not to tense up when hitting the ground, and use your momentum to roll if possible. Yes, I know this is easier said than done, but it’s something you’ll get better at with time.
I am a new skater, but I have no idea why I can’t balance

Welcome to skating! Have you tried the first step getting comfortable on your board on a surface where the board can’t roll?
Mew skater - im starting with electric skateboard so i dont need to kick
@@mocha_chuchay5945 Welcome! An electric skateboard is a great way to work on getting your stance and balance down. That will help you transition to a longboard, cruiser, or popsicle styled board if you ever want to. You can always practice giving the first push on your electric board if you want as well.

Welcome to the channel! Here to help if I can!
Can i ride or practice on any type of skateboard????
Yes you can. It helps if you have an idea of what your end goal is, but anything in the beginning to get you started is better than nothing. If you don’t have a specific goal in mind then try different types of boards if possible until you find what you like.

Oh yah sorry..when u are willing to do some research to prove my word..watch the slow motion stationary ollie of everyone that already able to do it fluently..stationary,not the moving ollie,or cruising ollie,mobilized ollie,strolling ollie or whatever it is call..
Yes sir I know what you’re talking about and it does happen. It’s something that will become less and less noticeable as you become more consistent and efficient with your Ollie.
