Good looooord I got stressed out when he did the bad balance demo 😭😭🤣

You rock man! I think that your audience is actually really thirsty for some beginners content for those of us who don't shred on vert yet😂

The fact you can improvise what bad form looks like without stacking it is truly impressive 😆👌🏽

When your so balanced that you can do a unbalanced demo without falling

The amount of confidence this video gave me at nearly forty and with practically zero skateboarding experience is dangerous.

The man who can do a 1260 on a mega ramp teaching us how to roll down the tiniest of banks. What a world 😂

Some of the best teachers are skateboarders, lots of patience and encouragement

Your command over your skateboard is insanity. I need a lesson on how to drop in please

I am 28 and might try skating again because of you. Always sucked but you make it seem easy

I always tell people the most important thing is to get low. If youre standing upright and dont bend down its much harder even from the bare physics behind it. And i say that it always feels like you're bending down alot already but from an outside perspective you're bending much less than your feeling tells you.

I love the idea of this channel being skate IQ. every other sport has the idea of IQ as a large part of mastery. It’s about time the skateboard community caught up to this sort of terminology.

I recently started teaching music, and have really been enjoying your videos from the perspective of how to teach. I think you do it the right way. Thank you man

Been skating over 15 years and everything you say is correct on every video. You don't misguide people based on how YOU skate. You teach them what MOMENTUM IS, not forcing style or setting up for failure. If you were around in 2003, 4 year olds would be filming battle commanders at the first berrics. Side note.. I think we are all still hurting over MikeMo blowing up his foot.. he would of been the biggest KZfaq skater today if he was filmed like Andy in the NKA videos.. Keep up the great work sir you explain skateboarding in a way that's helpful and not scary to the youngsters

I used to try to skate all the time back in the 90s and early 2000s I never could figure it out. Give so much respect to these guys and girls that can just hop out there on a skateboard and do this s***

My friend literally had to hold me going down because i just couldn't do it

I’m not even gonna skate vert like this for a while but I will for real remember this

You can lower your body to swing less and then stand back up right when your speed is not rapidly changing. It also looks cool.

thank you ur so underrated

What a genuinely excellent explanation.

Watching someone skilled perfectly display how to do something the wrong way is always really cool cause its way more fluid than the flailing beginners have. You can clearly see what the problem is. Very cool!

You're on my list of people I need to meet one day.

You have so much control that you are showing examples of what people do to fall but yet you are still standing. Very impressive.

WOW, this guy is a good teacher. I don't even care about skateboarding, but this dude taught this lesson well 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Dude you’re really an amazing teacher… you’re like a skateboard coaching prodigy

if this man were a suspension he would deliver the tofu flawlessly in initial d

I'm 53, never really skated, and i'm watching these videos for the teaching. Good job.

Dude I got really comfortable doing those small ramps and I decided to try switch and I nearly died

bro is a good teacher. I taught skate camps for many years and his videos are really well thought out and helpful. maybe he should do a old guy who was hurt and coming back into skating again vid?

This sounded like great life advice for any transition. Love it

I have been a teacher for years, and you have a real skill at explaining your craft. I don’t do skateboarding at all but I enjoyed this a lot.

One thing I have learned over time is going into banks with a bit of speed is so much easier than going in with next to no speed.

This little town vermont background is supremely satisfying for no fucking reason ❤

That demonstration of the bad way was so fucking graceful holy shit

Love the channel and message man. Huge fan of guys helping people learn the basics and conquer their fears like this 🤙🏾

Even your demonstrations are smooth LOL

That was the cleanest bail demo I have ever seen. EVER.

As a new learner this actually helped a lot

that’s the first time i’ve ever heard this explained, it was just a thing that my friends and i learned to get used; sort of like working up to jumping off the high dive into the pool. i think it’s great you have the ability to clearly articulate these concepts in a way that will get people to try skating who probably wouldn’t otherwise. everyone’s learns differently and the more skaters the better 🤘

Explained how people mess up by messing up but not really messing up. Nice.

Good content man. I haven't skated in years but a lot of beginners don't understand these small yet important parts of skating. I tell new skaters to just get really used to riding the board in different terrain first. A lot of them want to go straight to doing tricks before even being comfortable on the board. Once you get more confident, tricks will come a LOT easier to do. Gotta remember to get the basics down just like everything else

"You can't start going one way then go the other and then fix it." Does exactly that. What a legend xD

I never thought I would see Eric Andre teaching me how to skateboard

Nice teacher bro

i’m a roller skater but i only skate in parks, so skateboard tutorials are often the most useful for me. i do have some problems with getting nervous and constantly re-correcting my balance so this is very helpful :)

Your a genius and a saint for teaching young ones how to skate

This guy's so good. I don't even skate, but he's such a good teacher, I can't scroll past.

Dude, I don't even skate but I bet I can hit that ramp now. Made perfect sense, you put yourself in our shoes before you structure your sentences, I appreciate the passion you have to teach, thankyou bruv

"Cant start going one way, and then go the other, and then fixing it" ... proceeds to do exactly that perfectly.

Holy crap that "Bad" Counter balancing demo is insane

damn this felt like a metaphor for life. You gotta go all in. Plus Ultra 😤

That was actually impressive. Like *cartoon* skating.

This is the best snowboard tutorial on the internet hands down.

I love how he even makes “messing up” look smooth.

It’s the nose running while skating I felt that 😭

Great visuals honestly really well done

not enough quality beginner skate lessons like this, good job 👍

You are a god of skateboarding, I mean it, I'd have given anything to have grown up lucky enough to have all your vids for free on youtube. Respect

How tf you not get scared at the demo bro😭😭😭 I don’t even skate but I watched this full thing. I can’t imagine how a skater must feel doing this. If I ever decide to start I’ll stop by your channel!

Yo I needed this advice when I was first learning to board. Kudos. Keep it up. ❤

The way you demonstrated what not to do without eating it 👌 earned a subscriber

This guy breaks down skating super well. way better than most

The fact that he was so comfortable with that shows how skilled he is

when was this man when i needed him☹️

Doing something the wrong way correctly is a hard thing to master, but its such a great way to teach people. Well done!

He sad "you cant..." even tho he literally just did it. This guy's flow is amazing

His balance and strength in his front leg is crazy 😵‍💫😵‍💫

This is why I lift the nose before I go over the edge. It causes you to lean forward down the ramp to increase speed and stability as you change slope.

Good stuff I wish I had this advice when I was younger!!

So many beginners need to see this. Also before you start doing tricks, just get super comfortable on your board.

Man that house in the back is a dream living spot

This guy is on a whole nother level

when in doubt speed out or whatever the fuck phrase is so universal 😭😭😭

The sheer insanity of him to whip back and forth for an example and not fall off 😮

I'm just impressed by how you showed what bad balance does without actually falling, takes a lot of skill to mess up on purpose without actually hitting the dirt.

The save is crazy clean

The fact that he can fuck it up and recover in the same sentence on purpose

I wish I had someone like you around when I was learning. I just watched Tilt Mode Army's - Man Down and would pause and rewing until I figured out how to do the trick.

The fact you can demonstrate almost falling without falling is insane talent and balance.

I'm not a skateboarder, but I feel like this was a good slowed down example of a common don't. However, it would help to slowly show what the correct way is as well. Keep going with these!

I haven’t touched a board in years, but what a great quick video for transition tips! 👌🏽

this man is gonna replace what braille was supposed to be

These are all wonderful tips! Now I have a couple ideas for you. Number one when you move wet clothes from the washer to the dryer, fluff them up a bit and shake out all the wrinkles. Then when you put them in the dryer make sure not to overcrowd the clothes, they need room to move around so they don’t get so wrinkled. Finally invest in an iron. Pants like those can be tough to get the wrinkles out but it will be worth it for the look and comfort.

This is the best video tutor I've ever seen, thank you. I don't even skateboard

Wish I had met someone like you when I was younger

Dude almost fell trying to show what not to do lol thankyou for the commitment

Love seeing you sharing great contents bro! 🤟

"You can't go one way and then the other and try to fix it." Literally just did it haha.

Love how this dude can even mess up a trick perfectly lol

Back in the mid 70's, we had a skatepark near our house, one of the first on the East coast. A halfpipe with vertical and a bowl. It was everyone's first time skating in that environment.

You made all that look so easy.

Ky daughter rode into her fist bowl a week ago. As shes was learning i explained to her how your front leg helps allot when picking up that quick burst of speed. She had me hold her hand once and after that she just sent it. Now she can bomb hills and ride into transition and its amazing too watch. I'm gonna show her all your shorts so she can learn the basics because the way you explain things is the way i want too explain but for some reason cant find the right words to describe how i skate. Ive been on a baord for 26 years so i stand on the board better than my own two feet 😂

Lol, he says not to do it but demonstrates how people do it wrongly except he lands it instead of falling splat on the ground, such a pro!

I don't think I have ever even touched a skateboard, but this guy is so easy to understand that I feel like I could ride one rn 💀

go for it! dropping in a big halfpipe on a skate was the most adrenaline I had when I was kid I remember all the older guys screaming: "go for it, head down!" I did without crashing and they went nuts! I spent weeks just dropping that halfpipe! The problem with getting older with the skate is obvious, but as soon as you start with injuries on ankles you are doomed, I am now 42 so I surf or do mountain bike for adrenaline :)

This guy is telling you what not to do while doing it, amazing.

Bending your knees is so important, even with a magneto cruiser with the longboard wheels its just so damn bumpy i gotta get low or just fold and jump off in twenty feet. Idk how i just rode in the road back then but im glad i got a good board again, maybe ill hangout with some irl friends for the first time in forever too 🤷🏼‍♂️ my job opened both opportunities, old buddy and old hobby 🤯

Thanks for the tips! It's funny how I grew up being terrible at skateboarding but in my 20's I transitioned from skiing to snowboarding. Loved it and was getting better by the 3rd -6th time. Was lucky to go 12X my first year when I moved to Oregon. (Love you Mt. Hood!) So back skateboarding and 20 years later, I still suck at skateboarding. But at least I can cruise powder and small jumps on a snowboard 😅

I dont even skateboard, the way he explained it made me feel like I can dominate that drop 🤣

That’s was smooth af

I’m happy to see skating not being shunned as bad as it used to be. I quit street skating and moved to longboard I hope to see the day longboarders don’t get shit on as bad too
