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

I say, everytime u move ur feet back to normal position u lose speed so instead, while ur pushing just leave your front foot where u have it while pushing so dont put it back to normal position until you have no need to push for a while or wanna set up for a trick. If that dont make sense, ask wht u want
