    The world's greatest skateboarding instructional DVD video, "Learn To Ride A Skateboard", is available in it's entirety as 7 episodes on CZcams! This "Special Edition" includes updated footage not available on the DVD release.
    Chapter 4 covers the following topics:
    a.) How to push a skateboard
    b.) How to turn a skateboard
    c.) How to stop a skateboard
    You can download the entire original "Learn To Ride A Skateboard" DVD for free at www.LearnToRideASkateboard.com
    "When I created the original Learn To Ride A Skateboard DVD back in 2007, I wanted it to be available for free and I wanted to create the most detailed and thorough skateboarding instructional video ever made. Looking at other videos available for sale and posted on the Internet, I'm proud of the fact that Learn To Ride A Skateboard still provides more information and more detail than any other skateboarding video in the world. I'm stoked to be able to update a few parts and share this Special Edition of the entire Learn To Ride A Skateboard project on CZcams for everyone to enjoy."

    Finally a honest video. All the other beginner videos don't break it down enough. They act like its easy. Pushing for me is really hard and I think I'm gonna stick to this series to get better.

    How can you stop during going downhill because I am in the hospital

    Whenever I try to foot brake, I do the splits.

  • @LearnToSkateboard
    @LearnToSkateboard  Před 11 lety +37

    That's why I included students in the video - so you can see it's hard for everyone when you're just starting out. Stick with it and it will get a lot easier.

    Part of conquering your fears is finding the strength to overcome it on your own.

    Would be nice to have such nice underground for skatboarding, in my City even parking lots have bad ground so when you go downhill it still stops you after a while.

    around 7:00... shes not going fast enough; that's why she can't balance. at my house my road is concrete (it has a lot of tiny rocks on it)... i have tried to skateboard but now i know that kind of surface is bad. thanks!! the only way i knew how to stop was the tail slide and i don't even know how to board good!

    @Gamer Daily - No. I never feel self-conscious at the skatepark. age has nothing to do with skating. There are guys 10 years my senior who skate way better than me. Skateboarding is for anyone of any age. Check out these guys...

    I'm so happy cause after watching some of his videos it helped me become a better skater and you it really gets on my nerves when people start an argument with skateboarders cause they most of the time are not bothering someone they are just being active and not playing video games so why hate skaters

  • @Coosics
    @Coosics Před 11 lety +1

    Yeah keep your weight centred over your board! It takes practice to get it down perfect. Experiment with different feet positions as well.
    As for tick tacking, just start off doing small movements and don't bring the front end of the board to high up. Keep your weight centered and lean slightly forward to counter that board flicking up!

    @humor527 - Jumping off is a great option, as long as you are moving slower than running speed. If you are going faster than you can run, it tends to end badly.

  • @wakeupwthesun
    @wakeupwthesun Před 9 lety

    Thank you so much for making these free videos!!!
    I have a longboard. When riding a longboard I would assume that the foot stances you have been demonstrating do not apply. Where should I place my feet on a Long board? Also, is tick-tacking possible on a longboard?

    • @LearnToSkateboard
      @LearnToSkateboard  Před 9 lety

      The stances still apply on a longboard, you just have more options to where you stand. The middle. Up front. Near the back. Whatever you find comfortable. Personally, I tend to stand in the middle and just carve and flow. Yes, it's possible to tick-tack on a longboard, but it's really, really hard.

    @PHbassman Před 11 lety

    thank you for all your lessons!! I've just began skating but I've got a cruiser so do you think this is a good kind of skate to begin? I mean, it seems harder to control than other "classic skates" that i tried...so i'm wondering if it's the best way to learn^^...thanks!

  • @topjimmy72
    @topjimmy72 Před 12 lety

    In used to the old school 10" boards from the 80's. I picked up one of these modern ones and its a lot harder to keep your balance. Then again, I'm starting out again after 20 years of not skating and I suck.
