learning how to SKATEBOARD (+ tips, first drop-in, unboxing & set-up)

i wanna skate so bad but I can’t do it alone in a skatepark I need a friend or else i’ll get anxious as hell 💀💀

Nice video! I have been skating for over 20 years now. Here's a few tips that might help you. 1. Tighten up your trucks. Yours look a bit loose for a beginner. As you get better, you'll naturally loosen them up. 2. Expect to fall, a lot. Even the best skaters fall all the time. 3. Master the fundamentals. e.g. Have a solid ollie on flat ground before you start learning flip tricks. There's no rush. Skateboarding is a marathon, not a sprint. 4. HAVE FUN! Don't get mad or frustrated when you can't land a trick. You'll get it eventually.

Am I the only person who is scared to go to a skate park because they’re scared of embarrassing themselves?

keep skating.. i started 2 months ago.. and i'm 30 years old.. lol

the fact that you were skating around other people is crazy because I would go back to my car if I saw other people at the skate park because I would feel like they would be judging me

Don't give up!! We need more girl skaters !

That drop in takes a lot of guts, even on a slope that's like... 30 degrees. Well done! comingfromsomeonethat'stwomonthsintoskating *highfives*

THE GRIPTAPE WENT:↗️⬇️⬇️↗️⬇️↗️⬇️↗️😂

that fall is a 10/10 not gonna lie 😂😂🔥 so proud of you xo

I’m happy you got a real board and put it together instead of going to Walmart

Easier to learn tricks once you get CONFORTABLE on the board. Make sure youre very comfortable if youre scared of falling. You will less likely fall if you are stable.

“Was my first fall.” “Won’t be your last.” Wise words, pretty good for just getting started. Keep your front foot on or just behind the bolts. Keep posting, would be cool to see a progress series from a beginners perspective. Ollies took me a year to learn but shuvs and 180s were easy. Every one is different and has their own style. My favorite thing about skateboarding. Play skate with people better than you, ask for tips. Skaters are usually kind. Though the gatekeeper types are really loud. Don’t let them discourage you. You got this.

It's awesome seeing more girls skateboarding. Building your own board makes it that much more special

love this vid!! quick little tip: i noticed as you were screwing your trucks on, you screwed on the screws side to side. instead, tighten the trucks in a crisscross pattern, like do the northwest screw first, then southeast. this will ensure that the weight of the board will be distributed evenly throughout the axels. It will make your board ride a lot smoother and safer :)

I love how she smiles almost the whole time she’s making her skateboard. You can see how excited she is!

Remember me when you’re famous

Am I the only one who’s skating in quarantine?

Found this in my recommended and I’m not mad grate video:)

Wow smart move to go with buying a real full complete instead of like a Walmart board. Keep skating ! ✊🏼

So, I’m not a master at skating but you should train in this pattern! :) 1. Balancing/making sure you can stay up 2.going to a park/neighborhood to skate 3.go to a skating park 4. Do tricks/new moves, etc! Hope this helped! 💕
