you are still calling beginners posers read what you just typed back to yourself hahah

he literally said beginner/poser lol as if they are the same thing he didn’t say beginner or poser hahaha

​@@pigeonwoahvods3734Poser/beginner means a poser and a beginner will skate the same way, but the beginner will eventually get better, the poser wont.

​@@pigeonwoahvods3734 In the words of 50 cent. "Are you illiterate nigga you can't read between the lines?"

Excuse me? Beginners can absolutely be posers

A poser just means someone is pretending they are better than they are. You could be intermediate posing as advanced.

@@Jordan64852 you have the comprehension of a mule. All posers are beginners because they do nothing to improve. Not the same as saying all beginners are posers.Yall just looking for reasons to get offended

You can love people who have different levels of skill. What's your problem with what he said?

Agreed. I hate the term Mongo pusher is a poser. Weird how people judge. I simply just skate.

When I was coming up I remember it being if you could do one trick at all even an ollie. But if they were truly faking it you could definitely tell by how well they could even ride a board. But yeah bullying someone off of skating in general is fucking lame.

Fuckin sick, I love seeing older skaters. There’s this one guy at my older park that’s in his 60’s and totally shreds the absolute shit out of every piece of the park. Dude is better than anyone I’ve ever seen. He’s clearly been skating since it was a thing and never stopped since. Dude it in great shape though too. Crazy to think anyone the same age as my grandma could go out there and fuck the shit outta some concrete.

@@mrmultifoshoablehell I still can’t do an Ollie, and I’ve been skating for 4 years. Got a sweet cruiser to cope like a year or two back, feels great. Cruisers are so nice.

@@lofiwackpainting4620 My friend is in his 50s and it's the same thing. Saw him at the local skatepark and he is legit going off the wall on the bowls harder than anyone I've ever seen at the spot. He is just hard wired to skate. His body is beat to shit but he looks like an athlete 20 years younger. He still skates to work. I still skate, but it's mostly cruising bc the consequences of falling. I have an artificial hip, lol. All it takes is one nice turn and I'm stoked. Much love from Spokane

Almost anyone with a reasonable amount of body control / physical ability can get "better" at skateboarding, but it takes more than just a passing interest in the science of skateboarding... if you truly want to get "better", you need to simply put in the hours. Watch vidoes. Get ampped. Try what you see in the videos. Try meeting regularly with other skaters or frequent the same skateparks as much as possible. Learn flat land tricks. Spend any free time you have rolling around, riding backwards and flipping the board around... try riding switch (even a little)... it's a lifestyle... oh, and DEFINITELY watch Braille skateboarding on KZfaq! Lots of trick tips there !! Happy skating !

Practice Practice Practice

I couldn't ever get into skateboarding (or roller skating). Whatever balance or coordination is required, I didn't have it. I did however have fun racing BMX from my teens onto 20s and then drifting in my 30s as time and funds allowed. It's entirely possible you just don't have the aptitude for skating despite having a desire to skate. Unfortunately, practice doesn't work if you're practicing the wrong thing, developing bad habits, getting injured (and griefed by people who care about you or are paying your medical bills) with no improvement to show for it. If there are skaters you are trying to hang out with, go ask them if you can watch them when they skate or ask if any can show you. Realize that most people who are good at a thing aren't good at teaching or coaching it. I've known guys very adept at different sports, from physical to esports to motorsports who could just DO it but couldn't tell someone else HOW to do it. If you can watch, try to imitate someone who can do things successfully. Granted, that's the real life version learning by watching a video and it's much more helpful if they actually can tell you what to do with your body. Again, there are levels of aptitude. But trying to break things down into the simplest possible steps and build up. I saw a video of a guy teaching his cat to get up on the board and push. He lured the cat to the board and gave a click and treat. A click and treat at every individual step in chain of steps getting the cat on the board and pushing it. Do that with yourself to whatever extent the tricks allow. Do the first step until you get it. Add the 2nd step. 3rd, etc until you get the whole thing together. Sure, you might look or feel like an idiot because you're basically purposefully not doing all of the trick, but baby steps until you get there. In my case it was balance on wheels. Skateboard or skates I didn't have it. Bike, I was fine. You may just have such a low aptitude that trying to get better isn't going to be any fun and you'd be better finding something else you have more aptitude for that you can enjoy progressing at. If you still like skating, go to the park or hangout and watch and be magnanimous with compliments when people do cool things instead of feel angry or sad that you can't do them. I remember in my 20s, I'd get beat by some faster kids that hadn't ever really been injured or didn't have other non BMX goals in life yet and didn't have that holding them back any. I'd congratulate them and if they got to taking too much crap and couldn't take a compliment, I'd lay them out in a turn at the next track practice because I was obviously stronger. Usually, they preferred just accepting compliments after that. Obviously, you don't want to pick fights with people you want to learn from, but if you compliment someone and they do talk trash because they're better than you, you might not actually want to hang out with that crowd. On the other hand, you can admit that yeah he's better than you and ask him why he can't accept you complimenting his skill and trick. Maybe he'll realize that he's better and you already know that so he doesn't need to talk trash to make himself feel better. Anyways, some musings from an older guy who's tried various things over the years and had fun with some more than others and met very diverse groups of people.

I got you dawg

I'm 30 also and need to get back out. Only thing that sucks is there were 2 skate parks in my town 15 years ago, now there are none. Only the concrete slab where a lot of memories were made.

Why would you want to eat shit at 30? Lmao I wouldn’t take a twisted ankle at 24. That shit affects your life as an adult

I got back on it, I was actually scared of concrete splits and pebbles, it's crazy to think how as a youngin i didn't think twice about them but I felt like a newborn on shaky legs at 30 on a board.

At 31 I'm keen to get back into it and rekindle the passion for it 😆

​@@imanoldurango8213being scared to hurt yourself at 24 is crazy

That’s not true at all I didn’t even live then and I know the 80s and even the 70s had their own share of shit attitude

In the 80s, if you had an Action Sports board, you were called a poser. Kids are dicks, even in the 80s. Just my own recollection.

Are you assuming I was having fun? .. oh have times changed 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😂

that’s cause you didn’t just do it for the style or to be cool. you did it for fun. that’s the difference

That's bs because we invented the word poser in the 80's and 90's lol

i thought they were axles

Sure lets talk, what about it?

Yea its definitely better that way and should be normalizedm

Its called the "maul grab" because it actually attracts wildlife and you might get mauled. That's why skaters warn others not to do it.

Mall-grabbing is super comfortable man. I would always do it when I skated. It's like a built in handle and I didn't want my grip to rub on my fingers. Sure they clowned me a bit but I'd always laugh at them when they dropped their boards on accident.

Yea man have fun with it, don’t be afraid to fall off occasionally tho

be sure to wear ur knee-pads, helps a ton

idiots call you poser. like the guy of video

its been 5 months, have you gotten better?

Beginners struggling makes me really uneasy though. Just waiting for the fall haha.

Wtf Bladed Angel skates?!?! Bro’s always on 4 wheels I suppose 😅

every expert was once a beginner youd think they remember

Nah you gotta come out the womb with a steezy ass push and kick flip or else you’re a POSER😤

Just kinda weird being on a college campus and seeing people just carry their boards around from class to class not use em, or if they did use them, we’re not good enough and when campus is crowded you would always see these people taking huge slams 😅. Idk get to level three before skating in public I guess

​@@JustGotSomeIdeas Or do what the hell you want to do wether they suck or not and not let people like you dictate what they should do with their life. Worry about yourself

@@JustGotSomeIdeasor skate wherever you want regardless of your skill level… if you’re worried about what people are gonna think skating isn’t for you lmfao in my 15 years of skating I’ve fallen in front of more people than I can count I really couldn’t give a fuck if a bunch of boners at a college campus clown me for it lmao I’m not gonna cry and shit my pants

Same 😂

I long boarded for a few years, and EVERYWHERE. Until I broke my tailbone. So, same here! I can't ollie in general. But, I CAN PUSH BABY(well, I don't wanna get ahead of myself I "could" push).

Same, skating for 25 years. Can push like a pro and do an Ollie

@@ItsOnlyGenjutsu i long boarded every day for almost 10 years and it’s amazing how even without knowing any tricks you get an ungodly ability to balance

Same. I use mine to go across campus because Florida & flat land. So even with a fully loaded backpack I push like a pro but can’t do a single trick 😢

How is this gatekeeping? Just pointing out how different levels of skaters push! Everyone can push good with practice

@@johnnyringer poser/beginner might be the big ole gate keepy red flag m8

@@mmafyasco Well what is your oh so special Identity?

fax bro said feet close together😭

Funny how the new generation of skaters care more about brands and being hip than the preps? 💀 I remember when skaters used to clown people who dressed pretentiously. this guy is wearing a stussy shirt with 90s jeans. I miss when everyone had their own style, now they all dress the exact same. Hype beasts have taken over the scene and its a damn shame. Has style always been a huge part of skating? Of course! But these arw the same people who used to clown on kids in middle school for skating and wearing vans and tnow that it's popular they have all jumped on the bandwagon. Skating is in its 90s punk stage where everybody has sold out and it's more about trends and looking cool than anything else.

True

That's always the case.

That's how I feel too Lol

If you actually noticed the way he held his board in the beginning you might wanna spend some more time skating and less time caring how someone carries a board, i didnt give it a second look til i saw your comment

Grab

Get it right, “Mall Grab”

been skating 17 years and still mall grab

Been skating since i was 6, and no one has been able to explain why this matters, im 32 now.

hes wearing a regular outfit what

this isnt an eboy outfit though...

its definitely an eboy outfit, overused oversize cargo with an ugly stussy shirt

He didn't, he just said they ride the same

@@littlezfor99-07 but you are still clumping them together and discouraging beginners from getting into it which anyone who actually wants to be helpful wouldnt do

if you really care about what they think, then don’t skate at all, beginners are posers if you make yourself one, if you try and genuinely put time and effort into skating then you aren’t a loser, you’re a beginner, who cares if they call you a poser, prove to other people that you aren’t by actually showing up to the skatepark to skate or put in effort outside the park as well, eventually you’ll have style and confidence and you won’t be a poser anymore, too bad people skate to look cool nowadays

@@wamsly2334 my main comment was just for fake internet points bro. But he still puts beginners and posers in the same group, which kind of implies that they’re comparable which is stupid.

it’s always when i been skating to somewhere for over an hour n my legs boutta give out lmao

FR!

For sure, the long slog

I do this

When you're at that point in skating, you likely already took some tough falls, and would be fine with taking a fall once in a while. Coming from a seasoned longboarder🙏🏻

What is your stance to avoid being sent by a pebble?

@@jakemccoy I usually squad down a bit deeper to allow a bit more room for my board, a bit like the springs under a car

@@ramon_Huft That may work if you see the pebble. If you run up on a rock that is going nowhere, the board is stopping.

@@jakemccoy i usually stand on my other foot to keep minimal contact with my board directly in the middle of it because I'm a super-mega-pro-advanced skater

ok unc

True

Getting jumped by ODB's ghost for stealing his jeans is what would scare me.

if i try to learn to skate n someone in the skate park calls me a poser im giving them a fuckn hiding lol

we need to keep gatekeeping a bit more so mfs like this wont do these dumb ahh ticktocks

How? Just pointing out how different levels of skaters push! 👍🏼 with practice everyone can push good

@@johnnyringer but why? everyone that spent some time on their board can already tell the difference, but if ur doing it for fun then i understand i guess but still u could do some trick tips instead of these useless shorts/tiktoks that call beginers posers, i could see myself as some beginer and get demotivated from u calling the first push poser, u know just saying…

Gotchu!

@@johnnyringerman, advanced level is when you’re not pushing from the ground at all, but just zigzagging. I can do it from zero speed and even uphill. When ppl see me doing it on the street they can’t even understand what is going on😊

​@@user-tk2jm3qi3ythat's called tik tacking you use the turning momentum to get speed haha

@@johnnyringerhave you tried to SKOG (skate jog)? It’s when you switch between both feet for pushing casually (yes, sometimes mongo) and also switch between riding goofy and regular constantly.
