Im a more mature skater (42) thats just started about 7 weeks ago, love watching these clips as they really do help. I try and skate every day even if its just a 15 min skate to work and back. I skate parks when i can as much as i can and i even got myself another deck just for carpet. I'm totally hooked

15:46 "Don't start scootering." Best tip on list

MGK picks up and accent and thinks he can fool us. 🤔😅

3 and 6 really resonate with me, and I'll tell you why. I fell in love with skateboarding as a child in the 90s. Growing up, my heroes were Rodney Mullen and Bam Margera. Over time, I discovered Ritchie Jackson, Andy Anderson, Ishod Wair, Rob Roskopp and Mike V. So, as you can imagine, my style was a weird hybrid of street and freestyle, with bonelesses and wallplants thrown in for good measure. Throughout my entire skating life, people would ridicule me for the freestyle and 'circus' tricks, which forced me to work harder on my flatland, and learning various things such as Fakie Sex Change flips and so on. People would make fun of me a lot, probably because I'd practically whitewash them in games of SKATE. These days, I'm a bit too fat and ill to skate, which is why I took up fingerboarding. Hopefully one day, I will make a full recovery so I am able to ride again, despite my age.

I'm 17, I started skating like 3 months ago, i have hydrocephalus, so trying to convince my parents to let me skate was very difficult, but now i have a helmet that doesn't fit, and it's the largest size that S1 owns. But i love skating hope to get better and gain enough confidence and persuasion skills so i can go to the skatepark sometime.

Well dam You were lucky at £30 for a complete When I was a kid and started in the early to mid 90s You could only buy a complete built deck and they started at £100. I was in the same boat and grew up poor so I had zero chance of ever getting one bought for me so I got a paper round and a weekend job on the local market saved my money and bought a santa cruise complete. Great vid as usual

Dude I am a skater from the late eighties to mid ninties! I was off the Board for Years, now I am 45 Years old and started again! I like your Content a lot specially this Video because after Years of not skating and being Older Fear is a Big Thing 🤣 Back in the Days we've done very crazy shit on our Boards but since I started again I kinda hold myself back a little bit. Great Video 🤘 Greetings from Germany

When I was a kid me and my friends skateboarded a lot, I was the only one who could kick flip, but also the only one who couldn’t drop in 😂

Love your attitude... I'm 52 and just built my childhood cruiser powell ripper. I didn't like you talking about injuries but I needed to hear it. I don't wakeboard anymore cause I can't resist throwing flips and body can't take it anymore but I still throw a few different flips behind the boat on my sitdown hydrofoil. I'm hoping to learn basic skateboard tricks before getting hurt lol

Is that british machine gun kelly giving me skateboarding tips? Nice vid btw)

I like your videos, they are really helpful. I'm 40, I've been skating for a year and I have no talent, but I'm slowly getting better and I'm really enjoying it. Videos like this motivate me to stick with it, so thank you for that.

srsly the best tips video out there. 37 here and just started one week ago. And you adress so many things that are in my mind. Thank you man.

I'll be turning 30 soon. Haven't Skated in about 13 years... I stopped because I snapped my right arm because I never learned how to fall correctly... One of the most important skills to learn. I want to start again. Will definitely try out a video diary for my tricks. So glad we've got all these people to help us out today. I didn't have this back then. Thanks for the video Dan.

Andy Anderson is a beast of creativity and innovation I love watching him skate

Good advice bro Thanks from NZ

These videos get me pumped to skate

Great message and great video man

Yeah man, missed the classic skatepark edits 👌 props for the Gervais the office edit haha

Trick 12 is very helpful. Thank you

I love your vids!!!

I love everything about skating I skate mini ramp, bowls, flat ground, street and the one thing I can say is skating is about consistency if you wanna get better put more time into it

Me and a friend started skating and the first other person I met with a skateboard I'm still best mates with him. That was in 1986. I'm old but still skate but not enough

Good Work Dan :)

Damn thanks so much bro!

Great advice

Great video 🛹👍🏼

Tip 15 was my favourite!

Good tips.

Just learned to drop in two days ago and it almost seems crazy that I was even scared to begin with😂

Brooo U are a serious smooth operator dude!! Promise U got me help not only for skateboarding... that's wise shit yooo

I recommend learning flip tricks on carpet, with and without trucks. Also bouncing a deck on a trampoline helps too, especially for late flips 👍

Lit 🔥 I was thinking of doing something similar and then I found this 😅

my number one opp rn small sticks

Keeping motivation is somewhat easier when you have a weird progression, I learned to drop in and air out before Ollie. Haven’t put the board down for 2 months since stepping on it

Your a wikid skater bro, luv your sharp style got mad flair

Cheers Poosay !

The other day some kid said “this one doesn’t drop in though” so I dropped in 3 times. The next day I had tunnel vision going there, that’s just not what I do man lol. Not for now anyway!

Third ig wassup dude love your videos!

i’m still terrified of ramps and drop ins, last time i did a ramp i twisted my foot and beg pretty that i made my wrist all sore from the impact it looks super fun but i really rather learn to ollie and kickflip

I finally understand why it’s called frontside or backside 180 etc i knew about the ledges i just always thought that for frontside 180s and stuff you are spinning onto your back side which is why i thought that was backside 180 not frontside lol

objectibely a good video

Badass pants yo 🔥🛹

Sound advice, safe

Picking up on the pebble and landing right , I was cruising on my skateboard a month ago just chilling , In my complex theirs this really busted up side walk so the cracks are as big as the wheels but you can go over them if your going fast , So I decided to go on the side walk and when I got to the busted sidewalk I was just speeding up but my wheel got caught in a pebble and since the busted up side walk is broken and stuff it stabbed me right in my hip bone and started to bleed everywhere , And now I have a pretty knarly scar from it but thing is , know how to fall and don’t trust pebbles

I don’t even think calling them circus tricks is derogatory, I like doing silly circus tricks and bad ass scary stunts both are fun and I feel like I get different stuff from both of them

Small stones will break my bones but word will not harm me 😅

Ngl, I don’t agree with the setup one, having a good board that has good pop and grip tape helps with actually doing tricks, having good bearings makes it so much easier to skate around and not get tired and to be able to have more time to set up, and then proper wheels are also important, super small wheels are gonna have the same problem as shit bearings, plus having really soft wheels or the improper wheels(like longboard wheels tryna do tricks) make it hard to learn, bc one of those beginner tricks I feel like is reverts and Altho not impossible with soft wheels I think are definitely easier with hard wheels

you and yung wavy should collaborate!

Not caring about others is good but competing with others is probably better

❤

there is no way you are monetized with that intro😭😭

“ don’t start scootering “ Better at skating than I am scootering by far but, scooters are so fun 😭

I didn't know that MGK skated. 😅

Wait a minute. I thought when I turn clockwise (because I am goofy) my 180 is Frontside because my back truck moves to the Frontside. Is that wrong ? :(

hey Dan I'm sorry to hear you grew up super poor. What neighbourhood did you grow up in? Parents unemployed? Its hard man x

4:32, what is the name of that trick? thats so sick

once a chair fell on my head it didn’t hurt

If you dont have money for skate trainers or something you can also just learn tricks on grass (make sure its dry tho)

Crappy skateboards are like ankle weights. You'll just be that much better when you eventually get a nice one.

second hi baby webz

First

If someone gives you shit for your tricks tell them to land it if they dont tell em they dont know what they're talking about if they do quote their insult to their face

Thanks☁️🤙💙🤍

Ride more, trick less

Super nice tipps! One of them kind of got me a bit irritated. I know there is such as a rivalry going on btween skaters and scooter or bmx riders and such. But honestly, if you got a park nearby, try out everything you want. Eventhough my heart sticks to the skateboarding I learned a lot from trying other disciplines. It helps a lot getting into another perspective, helps you coexist in the park, appreciating tricks of others getting hyped and most importent: having fun accomplishing things and make friends not foes at your favourite spots (at least appreciating being respectfull). 😊🛹🛴🚲🛼
