/ simplelongboards
This video tries to show you some of the basics steps used in longboard dancing. It starts at the absolute basic level and works a little bit up to some more advanced steps. But still, almost everything is based on the simple cross-step. No fancy board manipulation or technical wizardry. Just walking on the board.
I hope you will use this as a guide and as an inspiration to go dancing. It's really not that hard!
Board: Simple Platypus, Randal 180's, Orangatang 86a Stimulus
Music: The Album Leaf -- Red-Eye

Can we just take the time to appreciate the quality of this 9 year old video? That and how much it teaches without much verbal instruction. This is insanely well made.

@tommorgan6665 11 жыл бұрын

So I ripped this video onto my phone - found a fresh built carpark in Wells, Somerset, England and bought a longboard. Your flow has pushed me in the space of 3, 6 hour days of riding back and forward to push myself to learn smooth cross steps, 180 steps (both step forward step back and step around..like a 360) and I'm on the Peter Pan tomorrow. Thanks man, keep up the good work! Ps. Alt-J, Phantogram - legends!

+El Manana There is no fail in learning, just place your feet on every part of your board, so you learn to feel what it's doing and turn a little bit at first, to learn switch ride and so on. Just to be confident on every spot of your board first, that takes some time. Falling off is ok, should learn that too, you'll get more confident after that. Bend your knees and relax, the rest will follow 4 sure

It then took me to a page on Keep Vid that listed a bunch. I clicked the 720P one and it downloaded an mp4. I put that into itunes and I put it on my iPhone NO problem. Good luck. :)

I'm insanely new to longboarding, but what attracted me to it was dancing and step tricks on them, rather than bombing or sliding. For most "dancers" do you usually only have trip on the nose and tail? I'm about to get a longboard and I dont wanna grip it up if it's gonna make it harder to learn tricks.
