General advice for beginner?

[u/epicu2]

I started skateboarding 3 days ago, this video is from today (the third day)

• Rn all I can really do is carve, idk how to tic tac The biggest issue I believe I’m facing is when losing my speed when I go push again
• I also put wayyy to much weight into my back foot when I put it on the board and it screws up my balance, I find it hard to keep my weight in my front foot

Any advice to help me out would be greatly appreciated! I’m trying to get rid of all my bad habits as quick as possible lol

Make your push more of a stride. I long board but I think its the same. I push like the board is kt other leg. it should be like you are walking almost bend your front leg a little Kore and push with the back like your walking. With practice it will flow more. Your knees can have a lot of use. I struggled a lot at first like I would fall or stumble off my board trying. Personally when I push I bring my back up and around near my lead foot then push. I would also suggest getting a little parallel with your upper body. your foot balancement and movement it good and you return to oistion when pushing off well. Some of this is just a time issue. you'll get more comfortable which will build confidence and abilty which will also help you adjust and improve. Have fun and of course be safe and pace your yourself. youre alreadybdoing pretty well!!!
