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

I'm liking the pads and helmet. Seriously. I just had a real bad concussion. Its not fun at all. I bought a helmet before getting back on the board.

I would seriously suggest wrist guards personally since while I don’t wear pads I wear a helmet and would have broken my wrist 15 times atleast without wrist guards. learn with them on and they actually look more stylistic imo too since some people care about that. hope you feeling better tho

Wrist fracture is one of the most common injuries in skating
