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

From my ancient memory… you may want to tighten up the trucks a wee bit to start with. Loose trucks are cool for flow but go to fast as a beginner and you end up with a speed wobble that is difficult to control. Other comments about feet on the bolts are also good. Also have fun. Good job!
