I'm 25 and I've finally decided to actually learn to skate after years of being hesitant about it. Part of it was that as a kid but parents bought me cheap Walmart boards that were terrible to skate on so I never really felt confident about learning to drop in and learn tricks on the crappy boards. Now that I can buy my own board with quality parts, I am a lot more confident that I can make some good progress.

Ey me too! I'm 29 and have been skating on and off for almost a year now. It's therapy for me. Almost like, if my mind was like a bedroom and if backing out of a commitment is like leaving a piece of clothing on the floor, then I can say that when I practice the mindset of keep to my committed actions at the skatepark, then I'm cleaning up my mental bedroom. It helps me clean myself up and put myself back together.

I remember when I first started in middle school I decided it would be a good idea to try and drop in off the quarter pipe. I kept my weight straight and ate it hard while my board torpedoed off. Thankfully I was alone when that happened, wish there were channels like this back then.

@buffalomind6838 2 жыл бұрын

Good point in going when the park is empty which is ideal, or at most a few people who are away from a particular area, so you can practice repeatedly the going back & forth. Hundreds of not thousands of reps is what should be your focus besides the obvious of getting things down “perfectly” before doing them around many others where they can be injured due to your lack of skill at the moment.

I've spent some serious tim just getting down fakey from a small ramp at the park and have wiped out a few times just doing that. I'm 40 and I really want to be able to ride the bowl I'm not concerned with tricks just pumping and getting high on the walls to help my surfing. But concrete hurts much more than water. Skating is frickin hard

@troublingleaf 4 ай бұрын

With the transition just look where you want to go, look into the quarter pipe on the way up, and out of it on the way down, build it from the ground up. Turn your head, and do not look at the board until you're comfortable. Start low and work your way up. First few times just enter the transition really slowly and get used to the feeling of the board changing direction. You are not trying to hit the coping, you're just trying to leave the flat without falling.

Hey! After about 2 years I started skating again, only I took a yamba skateboar, (with rubber wheels), Today I went to a small skatepark to deprive but I often fell down, also because it is for those who are better at skateboarding. I wanted to ask if it is possible to skate in skateparks even with my skate or do I have to have a skate with hard plastic wheels

ah, I wish we had such skateparks here in germany. we might have some like it, but not in my proximity :-/ anyway, I´m skating for 3 months now and I havent yet learned to drop in. I´m on it though and from my limited experience, its nice to be able to drop in on banks first to get used to the feeling, the technique and develop muscle memory. cant skate this weekend sadly, but next week I´ll drop in on a quarter for the first time. I´m hyped and a bit scared. think this is really important :-)

Ok so at my skatepark all we have to pump or carve is a small-ish bowl and because it is so small it’s hard to carve without falling (for me obviously because I’ve seen some older kids shred and look awesome)

Could you do a video like this about how to start grinding?

@ulemso9707 2 жыл бұрын

If you mean doing things like 50-50s I'd recommend you to start on a ledge. Just Ollie onto the edge of the ledge and make sure to lock up with your outer wheels. Try to grind a little more than the end of the thing you're grinding as to have some time to set up for the landing, which is the same as going down a curb. For grinds on transition just do an axle stall while approaching the coping at an angle and you'll be grinding without even noticing.

I find most of the time people in line at crowded times either take way too much time inbetween people going OR they will go just 2 seconds right behind the next person guaranteeing some kind of interruption if the person in front fails their trick in any way... like lol is it that hard to find the appropriate middle ground

So if someone is trying to kick flip a 3 stair I should ask them if I can also try to kick flip it? That seems kinda corny tbh

@tacticsboardshop 2 жыл бұрын

It does seem pretty corny, but in reality it's really chill. Say the kid has been battling to do that kickflip down the 3 stair for a while, and then you go up and try it too, it creates an awkward tension where they're thinking about how he/she might get shown up. But if you go up to them and say "Hey, you mind if I try kickflip with you?" 99% of the time they'll be fine with it and it immediately alleviates the tension. So then if you land it first, he/she wont feel slighted. Of course this mostly applies to skaters who are around the same level. If there's a pro at the park just doing everything first try in a line, nobody's gonna feel too bad if they get shown up because that skater is just on another level. Anyway, sorry for replying with a novel. 😆 Have fun skating out there! 🛹✌ - Tim

Leave and don’t say bye and tell the youngest kid he can be like you someday.
