1 Year Skateboarding Progression | Girl Skater

  • Hey! Welcome to my one year (ish) skate progression journey. Just to clarify, if you're confused as to why the first thing I learned was dropping in; when I first started skating I mostly hung out with vert/transition skaters, and skating a bowl was my main focus. I've always been better at transition than street, probably because I hung out with so many fearless vert skaters. I could drop-in on a 10ft quarter before I could ollie😂 I know that's pretty unconventional, but that's just the way I learned, I couldn't ollie properly for like 8 months lol. The first 3 months of skateboarding I basically just learned kick-turns and riding around, but sadly I don't have any footage from those first 3 months. So I guess this is technically a 1 year + 3 months of skating.
    Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and I really hope this can motivate some other girl skaters to get out on a board and have fun!

      It's so much easier these days when you know the real embarrassment is the scooter kids. Skating is way harder and the fact that you're out there trying to learn it, is something to respect. A lot of those scooter kids tried skateboarding and gave up. You can practice ollies at home and just learn the basics of riding on basketball/tennis courts first (smooth surface) before going to a skatepark if that'll make you more confident when you arrive. Finally, find the right skatepark by looking up pics on the internet to see if there are beginner obstacles (small humps, 2 ft ramps ect.) to go on. Some skateparks are way too advanced and others have easier stuff.

    I was ab 11 n I had an old skateboard I’d had since I was 8 n my family life was pretty shit and I needed a reason to be out of the house as much as possible, so I forced myself to skate outside on my street or in empty car parks even though at the time I hated skating.
    Fast forward 2 years I haven’t stopped skating and it’s become a hobby I look forward to doing it, it’s like my coffee, I don’t feel right if I don’t do it and can’t function properly without it :)

    • @knifegrlfriend
      @knifegrlfriend  4 роки тому +30

      Thank you!😄 And that’s dope to hear, definitely 50s were the easier thing to learn for me in the bowl, I started on small quarters. Switching it up and going to lots of different parks helps too because then you can get used to skating different stuff!🤗

    • @santeri5921
      @santeri5921 4 роки тому +1

      Easiest are definitely rock to fakies, although some consider pivits to be tricks so those you should learn, they are very easy aswell. The best thing to do when you start skating transition is to learn to drop in. You should start somewhere small if you can find a small ramp, and work your way up. It really helps a lot.

      At first I had lots of anxiety about going to skate parks! But the more that I did it and the more people that I met the more comfortable I became. At the end of the day, no one cares as much as you do. Also just remember that you pay just as much of taxes as the next person so you have just as much of a right to be there as them😂

    First start of practicing at home every day and whenever you are free, you should also first learn how to go straight meaning forward then try other things. You shouldn't be concerned about what others think of you and you should just be confident, you should also wear clothes that cover you at first other wise when you fall it's gonna hurt and just ignore every one and if they are clapping for you and helping you just keep on going :') hope this helps

      Be glad it's old ladies; I had to run for my life once after being harassed by slouch-youth... they parked their scooters and bikes in front of the obstacles just to f with me, I said don't come crying to me when my board hits them. Of course my board hits one of the scooters (I might've given it a bit of extra momentum on my bail to make the dent extra deep) and they got what they wanted, a fight. So I pick up my board and flail it in their direction to get on my own bike and bolt out of there, while this happens another dude is getting a bat out of his car. I have to pass the car on my escape so in a rush of rage and adrenaline I throw my skate tool through the windshield. I manage to lose them speeding through a couple of alleys, but notice they're pretty much patrolling all the exits I could take from my hiding spot, so I end up ringing a random doorbell and explained as clearly as I could the situation and if I could hide out at their place for a while. Turns out it was an old lonely man who would enjoy just about any company and he let me in. We shared some tea and biscuits and I end up staying for like 2 hours... that man might've saved my life that day.
      Damn... I wasn't going to post the entire story and just leave it at the first sentence, but recalling the whole situation actually gave me an adrenaline boost that made me keep typing... Anyway, fuck what other people think and go for it!

I've started out on a cruiser skateboard, and I want to get a normal skateboard that you can do tricks on, but my mum says that I only need one skateboard. I was going to ask for one for Christmas or my birthday, but because my mum said I should only have one, I think I'm going to save for one myself. So far I can turn fairly well and I'm confident in riding it on smooth/smoothish paths and on roads.

      Maja pawlik try ollying on concrete but holding onto something stable for confidence. I used the back of my pickup truck lol but maybe a bar or something will help increase ur confidence and balance ! Stick with it!

    im 14 and a couple of days ago i tried out my cousins skateboard.. i’ve never stepped foot on one before. i never knew that after a couple of hours of practicing i would become obsessed with it! i became very comfortable with skateboarding in one day and im getting my very own tomorrow! im so excited to spend my summer outside teaching myself how improve and learn new stuff. this video definitely gave me more inspiration and insight. thank you for sharing your journey!

    This is really inspiring! I desperately want to skate but I have anxiety so I’m just really afraid of being injured or going to the skate park being surrounded by a bunch of pros. But this helps me remember why I want to skate in the first place. I’m going to try and get over my anxiety

    I want to learn how to skateboard so bad I’m just so so terrified of those pebbles. Like I hate when you’re riding and you just hit one and go straight falling.
