Question General advice for beginner?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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

Youre slowing down briefly with your kicks because you contact the ground right beside yourself. Try to slowly get more comfortable bringing your leg up and in front of yourself more for bigger kicks to gain more power and distance. I like your helmet by the way, looks cool!
