- hi, thank you so much for people who supports me on my skate journey! i took ur suggestions on my practice day :)
hope u enjoy this video! - Sport
I got so discouraged as a kid because the people who lives in my area were really mean and not welcoming at all. I was always afraid to skate around them, but would go out alone a lot because I liked it and the culture around it. Now I know that falling down and failing is just a part of the whole process. There wasn't things like youtube where I could see other people learning and get tips or anything. So if anyone out there reads this and wants to get into something like skateboarding, making music, or anything.... just do it because you like it and get used to being bad at it because thats the only way you get good is to make a bunch of mistakes. You gotta get over the fear of failure and push through it, and just get a little better every day.
damn well said! :)
Who cares what anyone else says! Skating is for you and if you love it and it makes you feel good then take it at your own pace.Glad you found it,keep on ripping
these videos are so chill, got recommended to me as soon as i started skating again
Heeeey!!! You loosened your trucks! Good for you! Just make sure it's a nice balance for you. Whatever feels good for you is best. Not too loose not too tight either. God Bless you on journey, I love this series!
alrightyy! thanks :)
Most important thing is to always have fun. 👍
Having fun and wearing pads right on! That outdoor spot under the bridge looks like it'd be suuuuper fun cleaned up, cool find! I tried an indoor skatepark for the first time last month and agree that they are very slippery! I've been skating for a year, pretty comfortable in bowls (outside) now but I still fell down a lot until I got used to it.
damn! i thought i was the only one who struggle at indoor skatepark hahaha
another nice video :)
my tip for jump/ollie: I think of it like jump off the board but tap your back foot on the tail as you do. You could try to stand front foot off the boad, jump and tap the back foot to pop the board up, it might help with the timing.
With the front foot try to scrape up to the nose up and out in a quarter circle motion. I like to think of it as getting the top of my foot in contact with the board, then move up and round until the bottom is in contact. It's hard to do. I used to visualise the shape of the move in my mind.
You're making good progress and you guys helping eachother will make you learn faster :)
hi! thank you so much for your suggestions!! :))
Yes!! This is what I’ve been waiting on! I’m So glad to see you stuck with it an your conquering new elements haha you came a long way from skating by yourself now your at the skatepark with other people! Don’t let the skill level of others in the park discourage you…you’ll get there eventually, use it as motivation And one day you could do the same for someone else that’s just the beginning! Also hype to see you took my advice on the knee pads haha. Can’t wait for the next progress report!
Agreed 100%! It's not a competition. It's you against yourself. Everyone started from zero
agree!! thanks for ur supportt!!
Keep going Veren it gets easier every time and more fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is!! ✨
balancing is alot easier when you get your shoulders involved IME. keep working at balancing /footing / just riding around on a cruise / drops off small curbs, til you got all that down the rest comes fast
You’re doing great, it would be awesome if you could support your community getting some of your skate stuff at your local skate shop, it makes a difference for small shops, believe me!
maybe one day!! :))
No disrespect, the ollie attempts are adorable. It's all in your back foot to get the pop, and doing it on that rubber cork is actually harder than concrete. It's about speed and timing, and rubber has too much bounce time. You'll get it. Doing really well.
You have to lead with your shoulders. Everything they do, your board will do. So if you point them to turn you'll turn.
will try again soon! thanks :)
This really warmed my heart, as an old skater.
glad u feel that way :)
Hey, nice video, next time when you try to jump (Ollie) put your back foot more towards the tip of your tail and snap it hard with your ankle joint. Then just get the timing right with your front foot and there you're go. Keep on shreedin!
will tryin again soon!!
You're doing awesome. Practice daily.
Shreddin! That is such a nice riverside walkway to skate... When you do kickturns, you should be leaning the board slightly toeside for backside turns and heelside for frontside turns. It lets you counter the centrifugal force.
Oh and ollies, even through you aren't going all out at it yet, you should still put the feet in the proper ollie position(google for a good image) so your body gets used to it. Foot position is a very important key to many tricks in skateboarding. Even when you ride around, for example, you have too much of your heel off the board on the front foot. Makes it hard to lean toeside.
thanks a lot for ur suggestions!! well noted :)
this was awesome 😎
I'm glad to see a followup to this on my feed, it's nice to see you making progress and having fun with it. I hope you'll keep it up!
ps: whoa that abandoned park looks amazing, I second the comments suggesting to give it a quick sweepin' although then you may find it less abandoned next time hahah
hahaha thats the plan 🤓
Nice work, the next required item is a broom!
well noted!
You're doing great. Keep at it, stay safe and just have fun!
thanks! i will :)
So fun keep it up!
will do! :))
Fun :)
yayy! U got ur pads!
Next step, fall fall fall! You'll progress faster once you let go of the fear of falling. You gotta take the fall
yayyy!
Might be too loose. Adjust the trucks until it feels comfortable for you. I like mine tight, less wobbles and wheelbite.
alrite! thanks :)
another banger o a video iphris
Take a small brush to the bowl next time. There can be glass as well as stones!
Also turn your front foot to 90°. You will feel much more balance. Like I tell my son your not doing ballet, your skating 🤪
hahaha thanks for the tips! :)
Once you get to speed wobbles speeds, put the weight on your forward foot. It'll speed wobble more if you put it on your back foot
alrightt!
Hey :) This is a Little late but I think your jumps will get much better if you try to slide your right foot up. The movement feels like a little ninja kick ;)
thanks for the tips!! 😆
jump in skateboard called "Ollie", u did a good job btw
really? thanks!! :)
thoughs trucks look mighty tight friend. for starting out it might be easier to have them kinda tighter than that, you want get speed wobbles as bad and it will make learning trickers easier. just dont blow out the bushings. lots of pros suggest to tighten them maybe 1/4 a turn each new day of skating. you'll eventually find out what you like best
well noted!
@@verenchang I miss spelled a lot of stuff in that message I’m sorry, I meant to say won’t get speed wobbles when they are tighter lol. But anyway, ya just tighten little by little till you like it. Some people leave the front truck looser than the back, I personally like that myself but everyone is different
hahahah its ok! i will try my best to get comfortable on my skate!! thanks a lot! :)
Olá garota, vi seu vídeo hoje e gostei demais! Você é muito linda e carismática, espero que continue... um beijo no seu coração, do Brasil! ❤

that skatepark is so dirty lol it's not smooth enough to ride with alll the dirt and gravel.
you guys both have a lot of natural ability and just need to learn a little more from people who have a bit of experience and knowledge surrounding skateboarding. with a few tips on proper technique you guys could progress even faster.
whoa! hahaha thanks a lot. will follow ur suggestion! 🙌
you sok
Your an negative loser! Show some respect! Its not about how good you are. All that matters is if you are having fun.
