Its a part of skateboarding its like a relationship theres gonna be parts that wear you down but as long as you dont give up keep trying youll do it. Maybe you just need the right ramp a more mellow one maybe wearing some protective gear might help ? Try whatever you can to give you that confidence but whatever you do dont give up you got this!!! I just started skating after taking over a 6 year hiatus and im scared to try a lot but I dont give up

Go slow, fear is hacked progressively. Regarding demotivation, think about how rewarding it all was when You got really high as You relate! Eventually You will drop-in safe and nice, but that maybe after taking small steps, maybe on mellow slopes first. The point being, skateboarding rewards Will outweight frustration, but skipping stages is not the way. I learned the wrong way when I was young but now at 46, never take great steps, I assume that my goal is at least a month away and only through patience. And yes, I experienced that kind of fear, but I hacked it progressively, and I know It Will assault me again, same recipe. Good luck bro.

This exact thing happens to me. I know I can drop in, but something about standing on a steep edge makes it much scarier than a bank :(

The best advice I can give for dropping in is to remember to commit putting your weight in the correct area at the right times. If you don't commit and put your weight where it's needed, you VERY quickly lose all control. Too far on the tail, the board flies from underneath you. Too far on the nose, you fall forward and eat it. You have to put a LOT of your weight towards the nose as you initially go down, then right at the part where the curve starts leveling out, do a pump motion with your legs and straighten your body out, staying in riding stance while evening out the weight just slightly more towards the tail. This ensures you have enough weight on the nose to keep the board level with the quarter as you go down, but not over commiting in one direction and slamming when you need to level out. This is going to sound condescending, but remember to focus on the physics of it to get over that mental hurdle. You're afraid of falling in either direction, but that will only happen if you do not plan accordingly and adjust where it is needed. The most common thing I see when people do quarters is not putting enough weight on the nose initially because they're scared of falling, but that's the only possible way to go down correctly. Just keep practicing and try to overcome the fear of not doing it correctly. If you know all the steps, tell yourself that you have everything you need to know! It's all about just putting that knowledge into practice and believing in yourself. You're probably going to fall MANY times learning this and skateboarding period, but it's better to fall in the correct way, not just slam first try and be afraid of ever doing it again.

every last detail from start to finish is spot on how i an

And fin the human, the fun will never end its adventure time! Im sad now

@@wyattharlow0921 🤣

IKR. It's also the main reason to do it too, apart from the feeling when you stick it :)

Yes that's true

I have a big problem with it

Literally the hardest part of anything I think! Fuck fear!!

I want to do those wheely shoes but I litteraly can not roller skate at all :(

Can you do it on a board with the wheels and trucks taken off like on some carpet or on a trampoline, maybe? It sounds like your brain developed some kind of a phobia of pop shuvits as like a defense mechanism, and if possible, you gotta try to rewire that part of your brain and make it understand that pop shuvits won't always cause you to break your wrist. Maybe try it on a board with wheels but just on some turf on a football field or something? Anybody else had this happen and have any ideas?

Sorry that you're going through that btw, that has to be so dang frustrating!

Lol I also have a love/hate relationship with pop shuvit.. cannot land it.. everytime it shoots out under my feet and slam to the ground.. Then i see people do nice high ones and i just want to do that so hard! But it still did not happen after more than 2 months of trying😅

Try wearing wrist guards. I wear them all the time. Helps mentally and when i fall on my hands.

I learnt varials before kickflip, so now I struggle with them. 360 flips use a lot of force, a shuvit is quite light footed. I compare them to pressure flips, it should just land where you started. Try Fakie shuvs cos they roll with your momentum. To be fair, if your dialled at the tricks you mentioned, your pretty good. But I know how annoying it can be to learn a lot and one simple trick seems to evade you. I swear to God I've done a Nightmare flip down a 4 set, but I've never landed a kickflip.

Frank Herbert? BRUH THAT WAS PAUL.

@@loganmcqueen1033 totally

Aaaand i broke my left arm😂😂😂

@@loganmcqueen1033 He wrote it

So much great advice right here!

@@NeverStopImprovingSB true

Same man i can't even Ollie up or down a 3 inch curb it's pretty sad and when I'm home i can land many tricks no problem but when I'm in a skate park i instantly turn into a beginner like a beginner that never stepped foot on a skateboard

Maybe don’t try to learn Ollie’s so fast I’m a beginner and I’m still trying to shuv it after 1 month😅

Lol 🤣😂🤣😂

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He made that pose, and then cut and rotated it In photoshop

I know I’m late but LMAO

That's super normal Emily, especially with the ollie (it takes what seems like forever to get everything all coordinated just right to land the first one). DON'T give up, and try goofing around/mixing it up with some other moves because skateboarding is about having fun and that ollie will come without question! 💪

Just ride your board as much as possible you’ll feel more comfortable being on the board on concrete.

How good are you now

How is the progression going?

exact same situation here

Nice of you to say, bud 👊

Exactly

True

So glad to hear that the message came through!

@@NeverStopImprovingSB sure did and it's inspirational!

Lol those unexpected suckers will teach you how to fall!

Best of luck!!

Did you land it?

I have never broken a bone since i was born and i dont wanna find out how much it hurts

If you have never broken a bone, then you should most definitely be scared of breaking a bone, It hurts more than anything you will ever experience. Unless you like get Ina car accident or something. But it is horrible horrendously bad pain

@@clutzxy3683 it hurts for like 2 mins then it becomes numb and you go to the doctor

@@SuperBuildsInMC it doesnt hurt that bad. I have no idea what your talking about it's not insanely painful.

@@SuperBuildsInMC i snapped my collarbone in half a month ago and it honestly wasnt that bad. the worst part about a broken bone isnt the pain of the injury, its the pain of not being able to skate while you heal!

Thanks for saying! haha It was one of my happiest moments.

Maxis320 ikr

Happens around 4:20 it’s just a funny angle I think

Xpry omg 420

He was practicing to double backflip

He just backflipped off the spine

Luca' it’s a good idea. trust me

Did you start doing it? If you are still skating today, how far have you come?

Sayla McClure hey, yeah i gave up. Mostly because i realized, I’m completely unathletic in every way and the skater community seems toxic. ✌️✌️ if you’re starting, good luck. :)

Luca' I started a year ago, but then quit, and I have been back into it for about 4 months. Some people are toxic, but ya if you don’t enjoy it, then don’t do it.

@@Luca-lz4kg damn that’s really sad I was unathletic 2 but skating got me in shape

Haha that's a great way to put it 😂

posieric skate that's the key, just get it out of the way..

My first fall resulted in me tearing my muscle💀

my first fall was off a pennyboard down a hill and my elbow bled & i was limping for a week or two 😅

how is it going?

SuperVizu that’s my dream. I’m terrified of dropping in high ramps. How did you approach it?

Pretty slowly like i first just pumped near of the edge to kinda getting the feeling and the speed. And well then just trying from top. The first time i tried it i was terrified but after that i was just full of confidence and made it in about five tries. It really wasnt that bad in the end.

This^^ the exact boat I'm in

That's so interesting! I bet my number is somewhere around 20 haha.

5 months maybe

Not so much related to falling but I have heard gymnasts say you need to attempt a skill (e.g. front flip) 1000 times before you'll be any good at it (though I'm not sure if they meant 1000 landed or just 1000 attempts)...

I very much appreciate the kind words!!

@@NeverStopImprovingSB Sure thing, dude. I'm a bit over 30 and picked up skating again, last time being when I was 19 or so. I'm struggling with landing my 180s straight right now and your other vid gave me the idea of practicing reverts to get into the motion some more. And regarding this one: many people leave out or don't admit that repeating the same motion over and over is nearly not all there is to learning tricks and how to ride and feel comfortable in general. Thanks for the calm and unpretentious explanations, that's not a given.

Thanks for this comment dude!

Reading that made me really happy, thank you so much!

I am keeping notes and starting my own channel. Once I am semi-established I will mention everyone who I found inspiring and mention their channel so others can watch, you are definitely on the top side of the list.

Thank you! 🙏

So glad you dig it!

Thank you for the kind words Lars 👊

Thank you Sebastian 💪

I very much appreciate it Firas 🙏

Thank you so much Marcelo!

Ooh good idea. Let us know if that actually works please that could help a lot of people.

Never Stop Improving I’ll let you know if it does. I’d love to finally nail an ollie

That's so nice of you Ben, thank you so much!

Well you seem like a nice guy too man, thank you! 🙏

Well I'm extremely happy I was able to!

joanna snake 😭😭😭u just like me

Rip fck social anxiety I have it too

Go skate when there’s no one around first thing in the morning get warmed up and have fun.

Hey try to become friends with somebody that knows what they are doing so that they can shush thise kids when you fall or try becoming friends with those kids

😭😭😭😭😂😂

Make sure to watch this video featuring 49 yr old Roman to see what it really looks like: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nruAiZdkyaycf2g.html

@@NeverStopImprovingSB thank you

Thanks homie!

No video specifically on that topic just yet, but just speaking from my own experience, I would say try to use the fact that you got injured as learning tool rather than letting it hold you back from getting beyond where you were when you got hurt (i.e. modify how you're doing that trick to remove the danger rather than avoiding it altogether), and take small steps to get back to where you were because you'll need time to fully recover from the injury.

Best of luck as you get back into it!
