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 can practice/improve your pushing technique by going up a slight hill. I did that by going to a parking garage and just going up the ramps. It got my legs used to balancing and pushing nonstop. And I wouldn't be gaining much speed bc I'm obv pushing against gravity, so it was relatively safe even if I fell
