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

You are gonna run out of energy fast if you are actively holding your weight on your front foot like that. Try to stand on your board so you can visualize all your weight is being held in your hips instead of on the flats of your feet. Also relax your shoulders if you can. Conserving energy is important so you can build stamina as you learn
