Skating is a passtime best shared with friends. However, many of you may be spending your skate time sitting and talking with your friends, and hardly skating. All while questioning why you can't learn anything new. If this is you, watch the video, and try to be conscious of the ratio of your skating to socializing.
Let me know which tricks you’d like to learn in the comments. Thanks for watching.

Never sit down!! That’s one thing I don’t do! I usually out-skate most of my friends as far as length and time,but that’s why I consistently progress.

@NormanWoods Жыл бұрын

It’s so true! I’m forced now. If I sit for too long, I go stiff, and it’s too tough to warm back up.

Best rule to adopt at a young age, because it definitely helps keep that endurance up as you get older.

I always wait for Norman’s videos to release. 38 years old and started skating again after 20 years or so I appreciate and admire the things he brings to my attention and the insight. So many things have hit home on what I can work on.. stand up straight, crouch. Look at your feet stupid.. jk but seriously I work on These things as often as I can. As a father and a business owner I am not the dude to chill at the park. I go out, skate hard and to be honest go Home disappointed a lot. This one does not necessarily apply to me other than the sentiment of try, try, and try again, and then seriously did you stop trying.. but I only stop trying when my safety is at risk.. thank you Norman for your encouragement and guidance. I very much wish that this type of platform was more relevant when I was skating as a youth. But either way life interferes and we do what we can as well as what we have too. You sir are very much appreciated! 🙏

True words Norman... At the skate park I often feel like I'm the only one really skating and work on something new. My goal is always to learn/relearn a new trick every session or refining, doing on a bigger obstacle or grinding/sliding longer than last time. Nowadays I don't even see many people flipping their board anymore. Most locals, all they care about is smoking weed and doing the same manual trick over and over again for a short period of time than sitting down again.... Coming from the 2000 era and I really can't identify with todays cool kids skater mindset. Because I like to push myself even in my mid 30's now and after almost 18 years not skating. I wish I never stopped but I'm glad to be back. Skateboarding is so much fun! Thank you Norman you have an amazing Skateboard youtube channel!

This is definitely relatable for me. I'm currently the 20 mins for 2 hours at the park guy. Slowly working it back up tho. Gonna get it back in no time

At 38 with a busy life, I can only get out a couple days a week but when I do get out, I skate for hours. The other day when I was at the park some kids showed up and when they found out i had been there for 4+ hours with only minimal breaks they were mind blown. I told them that it is the reason I can ollie a deck, do some basic grinds, manual decent, plus a hand full of freestyle tricks after only about 10 days skateboarding, its also the reason I nailed the shoveits yesterday. Also, i completely agree with your opinions on incremental change . Keep up the great video's, thank you.

Whenever you sit down you lose momentum in your session which means less progression. Obviously you need to rest sometimes but yeah I don’t really like to take extended breaks if I have a good session going

Speaking the truth, as always. I'm constantly confused by how little most people skate when I'm at a park. Like you said, they'll be there for an hour or two and maybe be on their board for 20 minutes. Then I'm over here skating for three hours without sitting down, wondering why no one's skating. 😂

As a 30+ year old I try to go for around 90min sessions by myself where all I do is skate for a solid 45+mins. 20 mins of actually skating is better than an hour of nothing

I try skating for as long as I can but living in Florida makes it so much harder! 70%-80% humidity with 70-80 degree weather has me drenched in sweat after 10 minutes.

I landed my first kickflip after about 4 months of trying to kickflip every single session, 2-3 days a week, around 2-3 hours a session. I never quit trying to do it. I knew that every session I had, I was getting 1% closer to landing it.

Glad ive found your channel! I skate hard for 2-3 hours a session and ive been progressing on certain things but i still cannot ollie properly. I just want to ollie onto rails but its been 2 years and somtimes i can pop high standing still but thats where my progression stops and its so frustrating. Now unfortunately i get a pain in my knee when i squat to try and pop, started 3 weeks ago and i dont know how it started. Its making me sad because it feels like an ender for boarding. Anyhow your tips have helped me so much and you have such a wise, humble and bright spirit about you, thanks for all your wisdom and god bless.

Tell the truth, I just don't want to talk when I'm skating. I find it distracting. Sitting down is even worse. When I skate I skate, and I'm 48.

"You need to skate more than sit down." all fun and games till you live in hot climate place lmaoooo. But thank god I live in north, because I felt bad for people who live in the south that barely gets winter such as Texas, because one of the other main reasons why people don't skate a lot is the weather is too hot to skate. So yeah, cold weather for me is so much easier to skate, and it let me progress faster than summer.

@NormanWoods Жыл бұрын

I grew up skating in 100 degree weather all summer. Having to skate from spot to spot. Staying out from morning until sunset. Also been on tour in New York, Arizona, New Mexico, Mexico…etc during summers. The heat can only stop you if you don’t hydrate properly. Even close to 40, I skate all through the summers. Our bodies are quite resilient.

People feel like they can only skate at skateparks. When you need to spend a couple years in a empty parking garage learning flatland and the basics. I started at age 8 in 86 so I have several years of skating to the store ollies up down curbs to get there etc. From there go to parks but not full time. People need to skate street more honestly. Mix it up with park skating. Just going to a park and trying to learn how to ride bowls off the bat is going to make progression slow. When people should just get use to riding the board first. Skating takes at least 5 years to get really comfortable. I still spend hours doing flatland and slappies, manuals etc. Not having the skateparks of today back then made me have a way different perspective as if the world is a skatepark if you look hard enough and have imagination.
