So share this with your friends who just got their skateboard and hopefully this will kick start their journey!
But remember!!! The most important thing is consistency! So keep practicing and don’t give up! 🖤
Can you make a vid on preserving skate shoes? Or ones that don't easily tear? Mine have holes in them lol
I've started skateboard 3 months ago,
i like how you explain how to do tricks with a nice calming voice, since now i can do small ollies and manuals thanks to your videos and i hope i can learn more tricks :D
Thx dude, this will help me..
You motivate me to skate everyday
@@elmo8832 shoe goo
I’ve been trying to learn how to skateboard since for two years now but my only issue is that I’m embarrassed to skate in public. I feel humiliated because I’m a complete beginner. I never realized how difficult it is to leave your comfort zone
update : got the skateboard and am gonna go skate with a friend whos gonna inline skate but hey at least we are skating together 👍👍
It is, I complete agree with you. Try going early to the park, there less people at that hour, or, if you have the chance, clear a small space, at least good enough to practice your ollie
i aggree i suck at skateboarding and im to embarrassed to even just practics olleying in front of my house
@@tbh_feavzz nah you don't suck, you're just inexperienced, and we all are to our own extent. Also don't let the public embarrassment deter you from skating in public. Learn to enjoy skating for yourself, not for others, it'll also help you greatly to keep skating even when you have no one to skate with. When I first started skating, I fell off my board many times in public over the smallest thing, going down a driveway I would get so scared halfway down and I would jump off my board and end up tripping in front of strangers, an old lady once thought I was mentally insane because I hit a pebble and fell on my back really hard but all I did was laugh while laying on the ground for a few minutes in pain from the impact, but I learned to enjoy skating no matter how terrible I may be at it. Skating and just cruising around in public also indirectly teaches you one key role to improving at anything, learning to be comfortable stepping out of your comfort zone. Enough ranting from me, y'all keep skating 👌
@@zoomer4339 thanks i really needed that
The thing is, if you are polite and don’t cut people off and stuff like that, people will be supportive and nice, 99 percent of the time people are focusing on their own stuff and don’t really care what you are doing, so just go to a skatepark and practice :)
The absolute number 1 tip for newbie skaters is to BEND YOUR KNEES. By bending your knees you are also applying pressure to your board making it so that you actually STICK to the board without falling off. Not only that but EVERY SINGLE TRICK quite literally requires you to BEND YOUR KNEES. I see a lot of Skateboard tutorials forgot to mention this crucial tip.
Thanks!
True af. Ive been strugglin with ollies while moving and I just never been told to bend knees on landing, tried it and now its getting better and better
True! It gives me more stability
thank you very much, you are help a lot of people :)
Ok just calm down
i've broken my jaw, rolled my ankle numerous times.. ate concrete tons and i'm still in love with the sport.. i never wanna stop learning lmao
How did you break your jaw thats scary
@@oceanblvd420 fall on your face
Wait skate boarding is a sport???
Okay i don't want skateboard anymore
Thank you for scaring me I just bought a skateboard today and now I'm afraid I'm gonna break my jaw. 👍
Another good tip is you don’t have to rush into tricks. Just spend time cruising. The more comfortable you are on the board the easier some tricks will be. Also a good way to get used to the the board changing high or dropping is to practice riding down curbs. Always start small even if you think its too easy start small and build from there. Also take time to rest too taking care of ur body is just as important.
I am 19 and just started last week. What really helps is that some of my friends skate. I am the only one wearing protective gear though😂
Nothing wrong with that
i wish i had friends who skateboard as well, id feel kind of silly going to the skate park by myself
@paracosmic11519 my country doesn't even have a skate park 😔
@@thesilly11409 gosh me too, i dont even have things that wear or like the same things as me😭😭
whatever makes u feel comfortable man dont feel ashamed
Wavy i fell trying to learn how to drop in i broke my tail bone it took me 2 weeks for me to feel better to move well without limping i found your videos the day i got hurt u inspired me to get back up and to skate again
good job bro! i sprained my wrist dropping in but i got up and tried again! over time you’ll get more confident and i hope you become an amazing skater!
When you drop in just lean over it and then keep like 80% of the weight on your front foot and keep your front foot a little behind the front bolts and as long as you shift your weight like I said there’s no way you’ll fall! You got this, just do not lean back!
Yeah I lost my balance and tried to stop, the board came out from under me and I landed on my ankle and sprained it really bad. I was more disappointed I couldn't practice then being injured. Fortunately after 3 days I'm feeling a lot better and still itchy to get back out there.
@@patvalencia7516 make sure you let yourself heal properly lol! Don’t rush it
@@waffles658 if you were maybe a few hours early, I might've not played that basketball game and re-sprain my ankle 🤦♂️. This time I'm actually going to wait till it's healed, thanks waffles
This has been great man. I just started skating again after 17 years and two torn Achilles tendons. My ex wife told the kids I use to skate and for them to ask me to teach them thinking I wouldn't do it. But I went out the same day and got all three of us decent boards.. I have never seen them so Into an active sport and that's really made me want to get back into it.
Keep these videos up they have watched it atleast 10 times each to try and learn.
@@savannahjones2718 it really sucked lol. I had to completely re learn how to walk and then once back to work my.jobs idea of light duty was to have me walk the lot all day and check cars in... So they never healed properly. Went to the park last night and I am still able to push around a little wobbly but I'll get it back. Tricks are out of the question for now. I just want the kids to know they can do it. So I'll deal with the pain.
can we have an update?
you're a true inspiration dude and a fantastic parent. if your kids don't tell you that already they sure will in time
Made me she a tear. You’re an amazing person and parent.
@@JuanBrololeanrt anything new???
As a beginner, I always feel embarrassed when people look at me trying to skate, I look stupid cause I’m a noob. Especially when I fail or fall, I hope I can skate to school after holidays without feeling embarrassed
Stay strong brother. Just got my new skateboard as well and when i fell people laughed at me. Don't worry about what people do because if they tried to do it they'd probably fall as well
@@chipchamp8580 thanks man, you got this as well!
How's it going bro?
Bro i think we twins❤
you feeling okay?
I always wanted to learn how to skate, but didn’t. Now I’m 28, and I’m at my second day. Don’t be discouraged if you’re older 🤘
Thanks for the video, it was really helpful 😊
I'm turning to 28 I'm a female, I'm always interested in skating wanna learn it thank you for saying it
@@randomedits4125 it’s gonna be really hard, but goddamn it worth your time and effort 🛹
Have fun 🤘
26 and just bought my first board today! Thanks for the encouragement, super pumped
32 here fam! Let’s go!!!
29 here, lets get it!🔥
I’ve been skating for close to 5 years myself and I still love watching these videos/shorts of yours.
You’ve just got such a good vibe. It makes me proud to be a skater.
Skaters really are the most relaxed chill creatures on the planet
@@Heyhowareya97 ik a lot are jerks but most are so cool

Same, I just got a skateboard for Christmas today. Scared incase I break a bone though 😭
@@vibinqdxvils wear pads and land on em instead of your hands
@@vibinqdxvils I also got it for christmas! Im so scared to go im public cause im a complete beginner😭😭
I´m 23 and had never skate in my life, since my father died I decided to start doing things I would never do and live my life, today I bought my first skateboard and after I finish some lab reports I´m going to the park to practice, this video looks really helpful.
I hope at the end of the year I at least can go to my girlfriends house using my skateboard.
how's your progress by far
@@dawniedunkie he ded
I’m a 16y old ballet dancer and I REALLY want to try skating but I’m afraid of falling and never be able to dance again😕
Amazing video though!! Keep up bro!
Edit(3/3/23): today I bought my first skate! I really wanted to thank you for this cause without this video I would have never done it❤️
If you know you're limits you can't really injure yourself too bad, don't try to do a big gap in your first day tho.
Just know your limits and work your way up to the really hard stuff. People only really get hurt because they’re skipping steps and jumping too far ahead!
So take it one step at a time and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
@@YUNGWAVY hi
Γειααα
@@ChrisLKF γειααα (όταν βλέπεις έλληνα😅)
I used to skate a lot in my teen years I’m 32 now and anyone here looking for advice as an older returning skater stretches are your friend….good video bud
Good tip! I am 35 and have two kids. I started roller skating last year and I have improved so much in just a year that now I want to try skateboarding. The stretching and bending my knees before roller skating help me a lot, I feel way more capable when I remember to stretch. My only worry with skateboarding is I am wondering how risky it will be to really injure myself.
First of all, the grip tape looks so damn good, i wish it wasn’t sold out. Started skating two days ago, got my first board on Christmas and holy mother of god, I always thought it was easy for some reason, I still have to learn how to balance while moving with it without falling. Thank you for this, I appreciate it.
Thank you wavy for the ollie tip, "snap the board backwards." it unlocked the start of it and i might be able ollie soon
35 year old here about to learn skating as a new year's resolution!
Still going?
How’s it going?
CZcams recommended me a couple of your shorts, subscribed. Idk what it is, but the atmosphere in your videos is just really comfortable and has a sense of familiarity, feels like I'm hanging out with a super chill old friend.
Got my first ever board yesterday, spent the evening practicing balancing, pushing and stuff. In an hour I went from being unable to stand on a board to going down a little hill turning left and right. I'm having an absolute blast with skating, my only regret is not having tried it out sooner. Gonna watch more of your videos and keep improving 💪🏼
For people who are scared to go to a skate park, I can assure you that every person there has felt that same thing and been in your position when they’re just starting to learn. Another thing that can help is to get a friend to go with you so that way it takes the nerves away from
You've encouraged me to start skating again after months of not trying, thanks
I just got my first skateboard three days ago and I can Ollie while riding a bit and I almost can pop shaving while riding. By now I am pretty comfortable with my skateboard and I don’t even care about going to skateparks. I always laugh when I fall😂
i started picking up skateboarding again after a decade + more years. i started skating when i was in highschool, it was just for about a month then i got injured and stopped. now i'm reaching my 30s but i don't want to regret not picking it up again. i struggle as i gained a lot of weight but i will keep on going!
Love it man. Definitely agree that if you can make it, going into a skate shop is a must. The crew at my shop are all so chill and super excited to help more people get into skating.
I started skating when I was about 7 years old, I remember seeing my brother doing kick flips on his skate board. I rode around the closest flat Area near my neighbourhood. I could only go forward, I gave up only after buying it because I knew it would be to hard. It’s been 5 years later and I’ve decided to have another go and this time not give up so this video really helped me to understand the basics.
Your vids are my fave. Your chill and fearlessness makes me feel chill and fearless with it. Never stop skating!
I recently watched sk8 infinity and really wanted to give skating a try, my birthday is in 2 months and I'm copping a nice board of good quality. I'll 100% come back to this vid to learn skating once again. Also subscribing cause I love your vibe and your teaching style :D
Happy early birthday!
@@averyzh tysm!
You got a board yet bro?
@@vince8684 oh im going out to buy it tmrw, will give an update!
@@shubaan sick dude, how’d it go?
I got my board around 3 years ago, I’m still a beginner, I haven’t gotten on it in a year, I plan on going back to the park I just wish I had more skater friends

I use to skateboard back 16yrs ago I stopped in my late teens. This video really helps get back into it thank you
I definitely recommend this video to people getting started .
About to start soon, just saving up for a good board, can’t wait.
Hi!, I'm 45 years old now and slowly learning all of this again. I really find your videos helpful as I watch and learn again and at the same time teach my 7 year old daughter. More power to you!
I was considering if I wanted to try skateboarding or not so when I saw your video, it encouraged me to try! Thanks for all the tips!
Thanks I needed this, it help me a lot and hopefully It will help more people. I really like your videos, is like learning skateboarding with a good old friend. And i thank you for all your videos!
I just wanna thank you yung wavy for inspiring me to start skating a while back 🤝❤️
50, & gotta keep a promise to my friend that passed that id learn to do a few things i regret not learning 35 years ago. Wish me luck
Your videos motivated me to start skating and I’m loving it 😊
I started skating yesterday and I felt like everyone is watching and judging me 💀
Also had a great time falling on my knees💀
I used to skate but my board was crap and got stolen, got a new one and I immediately ate concrete. I put a big ol bandaid on my elbow and kept going :)
I'm back after a 2 year break and I fell right on my back today 😭😭 gotta love it tho
i just started thanks for the advice
edit: my dad used to skate as a teenager so he helped me earlier as today is my first day, because i got my first board today
Always stoked for these videos from Yung Wavy :)
I like what you doing bringing people to the skate family skate community and your videos are so realxing
I asked for a Skateboard for Christmas cause I wanted to learn. My Sister's BF got me one from a skate shop called Zumiez, it's nice quality and I love the design! I've been following you since October and I'm ready to learn.
Following your tutorial videos & it's helping me a lot, gracias mate ❤️
Today I did the splits on accident while skating, I’m pretty flexible so I was fine but I feel bad if it was anyone else 😅
Yo this helped a bunch and really like all the stuff you do!
Hey Wavy can you please do a full part 2 about getting comfortable on your board because I’m having a really hard time getting comfortable on my skateboard.
I agree
I would say learning to get comfortable on your board is to really just cruise around on it, get used to how it feels, I just cruise around my college campus because there’s so many types of terrain, hope that helps!
U really help with my skateboarding this is the best skateboarding video yet!
your atmosphere is so calming
This encouraged me to start practicing over the weekends and when I have free time, since I've had a skateboard for a year now and I've been too scared to try it
I have been skateboarding for almost 2 years and when I started I didn’t fall it’s like I was born for it now I’m learning how to do a pop shove it the landings are so hard 😂
Thank you so much dude! Even though I’m not new to skating it’s been real helpful :)
Amazing video man thank you
yo, thanks for this video, i hit a stoprock in december and couldnt skate or run for like 3 months bc of surgery. so its time to learn how to do this stuff again
Bro thank you SO SO much for this vid. That helped me damn much dude
Great Job Yung Wavy, this is will be really great for beginners.
Great video! Just got my stuff the other day and this really helped tons!
This is gonna help a ton of ppl 🖤
Very nice informative video just subbed and started skating again after 20 years. Have a blessed day.
Thanks so much, you’re my favorite skater!
Super informative thanks bro👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice vid bro, keep up the good work!!👍👍
The only reason I picked up skating after I got hurt 1 month ago was because of you and your vids and just today I finally got the slappy nose slide
thank you i improved after this video and am now more comfortable on my board :)
Your my hero academia dabi board is awesome, I recognised the eyes and around them
I would not jump on my board before knowing how to push just to check if I’m goofy or regular… you can easily slip and fall like that and might give up skating immediately!
I’ve been skating for about a week and I Alr had a bad fall, I literally can’t move my shoulder
Your videos help me so much man!! Love u
Its good to start as a kid
the reason why they use the term goofy is that the cartoon character called goofy used a surf board with right foot forward so people started calling it goofy (ps its goofy from micky mouse)
thank you so much for this tutorial, this actually seems pretty helpful when I start teaching myself how tomorrow. respect bro
How’s it going?
@@Rdubs_ Its actually doing great, I know how to balance on my board and stuff like that but I can't do an ollie for the LIFE of me. My timing is off but thats really my only issue
That’s awesome. Keep going man
Almost 200K. Great Work!
Love ya man 🐐🐐
I tried to learn how to skate a while ago but it just didn’t click, but I just picked it up today and although my form is questionable I can balance on the skate board and push myself
This is so encouraging it inspires me and makes me see skateboarding as a feat I can in fact conquer :D thank you!
I’ve just found a new hobby and it’s skateboarding, I’ve been starting it on a longboard but I’m buying a skateboard soon.
Great video man, lots of great advice thanks!
I'd love to start skating it's like one of my dreams I even bought a skateboard but the thing is that I don't have any flat concrete place near my house or even in my town and it's ruining everything :')
Just enjoy the skateboarding process.:) it doesn't matter what you do and which way you do the tricks:)
You've helped so much since I picked it up. Feb 2021
just to sum up how much this helped me i'll just say i love you man thanks
I'm 3 days in and you think just riding around for a couple hours a day will be good? I've tried to ollie and am kinda getting the hang of it already but cant land a clean one.
Hi I'm a beginner, I just bought my skateboard yesterday and I want to go to a better place to go and practice oh and I got my first off balance yesterday you see my left leg kinda land in the wrong balance but I'm ok though 👍
I am trying to skate right now! Working on my balance and push, and man is it fun!! I hope I have the preservernce to keep going!!
Thanks for the help
Guess imma goofy skater 😂
I've been practicing my first few times on a smooth floor in the basement so far. I'm very new to skateboarding, and find that the board rolls veeery easily whenever I step on or off.
Here, the board looks quite stable while you're doing various feet positioning at around the 9:00 mark.
Is it my floor being very slippery, or Wavy being super good at countering the board's tiny movements?
i think its just getting used to the tiny movements and keeping your legs/feet still on the board, im not very good but i just learned to ollie while moving.
hey r u still skating? Any updates after 1 yr?
@@Th4r1anP4ws Well, I'd like to, but I haven't found any good place for a 36yo to learn this properly alone without looking absolutely silly. So no, it's just sitting there, collecting dust... :(
@gamerjema243 awh you should hop back on! Even a road will be okay. Find a road or a driveway is an area people don't go in :)
@@Th4r1anP4ws Thanks! Might hunt a little for a suitable place again come spring. Maybe on a sunday morning haha
I didn’t know anything about skateboarding until I saw this, I love the video and thirty-forty minutes of practice and now I learned to turn (but not to good) I love this video.
I love the sound of the board on the court
Hey Yung wavy, Im new to skating so where can I skate where there is smoothish concrete and no people around?? My driveway is super rocky to skate on! Thanks!
Look for parklots or empty skateparks
Go outside man 🤘🏽
skateboarding is a very public hobby, though it may seem intimidating at first the best places to skate are skateparks and they will most likely be busy. hit them early in the morning or in the night if you’re intimidated by others but just know that everyone is very welcoming and very helpful! :)
I have been trying to get my first Ollie and I kinda did it but not very high lol and right now I'm dealing with panic attacks so I can't really go outside because of how scared I am :(
And one time I messed up outside and the other more experienced skaters laughed at me
@@wafflekatsad cruel world I was good years ago stepped on one recently and can't remember how to ollie
that was sick bro keep the good work
Thanks Yung Wavy!! This video helps me a lot. I'm a total skateboarding noob but I'm dedicated to learning.
My dream is to skate with you 🥖🥖
I've been skateboarding since the 6th grade. I'm gonna start the 10th grade in the Fall and I can only Ollie. I've been trying and trying but I can't 180 I can't Shuv-it I can't Kickflip and I can't Heelflip 😭
broooo, you are trying to go way too fast man. dont try more advanced tricks when you cant ollie. try get more comfortable cruising around on the board, work on the basics, get them down and then go onto kickflips and heelflips
Having a dabi skateboard really is good motivation for getting my a$$ up and start skating
You're vids have such a good vibe ong
Thanks man love your channel
As a kid I always wanted to skate, but I was too scared of getting hurt... I am now 32 years old and finally decided to start and your videos have been a great companion. Thank you so much, you're a chill guy. 🛹
