What To Do When You Can't Skate
Whether it's due to rain, snow, an injury, or whatever it may be, not being able to go out and skate sucks. So, here are some random tips that can hopefully give you some ideas of ways that you can still have fun on and off of the board while you're stuck inside.
This video turned out way worse than I would have hoped but I am currently dealing with covid which has made me have to use a bunch of old clips and not go too hard skating in any new fofotage. Hope to be back strong in the new year as soon as I feel better!
Main talking points:
Skate in your garage or other covered area at home
Go out and find a parking garage or covered area at a park or school
Carpet Boarding
Balance Boarding
Find skate spots on Google Maps
Watch skate videos and skate related content to stay motivated
As always, thank you for watching and I will see you next time! :)

London is GRIM this time of year, but luckily living in a basement apartment means I can carpet board. I can't go too nuts because it's in my living room in range of things I could break if I slip out really badly, but even just freestyle-y footwork types things are great to stop yourself from getting rusty. Not everything translates 100% to concrete though, so it's always a good idea to REALLY get your balance down.

I live in Canada so it’s snow everywhere or covered areas have salt and gravel all over them ): I also don’t have a garage and live in an apartment above people so carpet boarding isn’t an option. It’s so hard, I feel like I regress each year because of this. I have a balance board though so there’s that! Loved this video thanks dude!

Finally got back into skateboarding for the first time in like 5 years at literally the most inconvenient possible time: right before a giant snowstorm. I got like 2 days in before I realized I was really enjoying myself and wanted to actually try to improve so I’ve just been skating in my garage until the snow melts away

Just took up skateboarding before snow came. bought a snowskate and tbh a lot of stuff seems to cross over. I can only skateboard in my house doing stuff like kickturns right now, but improving my balance on the snowskate seems to make the skateboard easier to control. Either way, they're both fun and that's what really matters

I really don't know if it helps skating but snowboarding is some of the most fun I've had this snow season. Maybe my ollies and manuals improved a bit since you can do those on a snowboard but other than that it's another fun sport that you can get into easier than an average person because you understand the motion of it.

@Mafon2 2 жыл бұрын

For themost folk snowboarding has no practical use. There're simply no suitable slopes and it costs an arm and a leg. More like a fun one time distraction and not something to pursue.

Here in Russia there's shit weather half a year, school yards are forbidden areas, parking lots are guarded with life and there are 9000+ neigbours under and above your cardboard-thin flat. The last roof-covered skatepark closed some time ago, but there are plenty of churches and WW2 monuments. When I was a schoolboy, my skateboarding classmates skated in underground crossings. I tried it too a few times. If you can find one that has little use, they are pretty okay actually. The only problem is ECHO, which is LOUD as HELL. And I'm super afraid to hit my head with a ceiling.

Although I just started skating again at the tail end of winter, this winter was so annoying, there wasn’t enough snow to actually do anything, or low enough temperature to do wintertime things, and it wasn’t warm enough to do summertime things. This fall was like a crappy annoying fall that lasted too long (usually we have long enough summers and winters, but this year it was a long, crappy winter)

another thing i'll add as a northern midwest skater: consider shoveling off part of your skatepark or a street spot! if you can just get a few sunny days in a row it's worth it especially if you can get some buddies to help out. with some shovels and snowmelt and you can get a spot skateable by the next day easily

So what if I'm from Lithuania and there's snow and ice everywhere outside, plus it's cold and I also live on the second floor of an apartment building so I can't skate inside or in any garage? It's literally terrible, I'm a beginner too, so I want to be somewhere alone, but there are no skate spots and even if it's the summer there's only one normal skate park in our whole city (which is the god damn capital too) and the skate park is not only bombarded by hundreds of scooter kids, but it's a hang out spot for everyone in the city centre, so you have at least 10 eyes on you at all times. I'd not care for anyone if I was skating with friends, but none of them skate so I'm left to be by myself
