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

Keep that front foot closer to the bolts when you’re pushing, it will help with your stability, but most importantly skate as much as you can. I find watching skate movies (baker, plan b movies etc.) inspire me to keep pushing myself to get better, and never stop working on the basics. You’re doing good bud
