HOW TO RIDE A SKATEBOARD - 10 BEGINNER STEPS | BOOT CAMP EP. 1

I really appreciate that you haven't forgotten about us biginers and that you want the skateboarding community to stay alive

Pro tip for stopping: Make sure your foot is close to the board. Too far out and now it acts as an anchor cast too far out and you'll turn slightly.

I really hope someone else hasn't done this, but here are the time stamps Intro: 0:00 Board Parts: 1:23 Regular Pushing: 3:50 Basic Stop: 6:46 Basic Backside Kickturn: 8:45 Basic Frontside Kickturn: 10:32 Tic Tac: 11:55 Crab Walk: 13:45 Standing Tail Stop: 15:35 Turn By Leaning: 17:23 Backside 180 Pivot: 18:45 Frontside 180 Pivot: 20:41

Update i broke my arm

*Update 14/2/24 Last week we took the dogs and a board on a 5km walk, where i was able to cruise (albiet slowly) around the lake. This was the longest periods of staying on the board I've had! Also, my 4yo can stand on the board, propel herself with her hands haha and lean forward and back to turn herself where she needs to go along a straight path. Perhaps I'llshare some videos and shoutout this tutorial! Update - so far we can mostly cruise up and down the hallway. Next stop, to venture outside! Thanks heaps for this video! I’m a 35yo mum of three. Always wanted a skateboard growing up, but it never happened. A few years ago I took up roller skating with my middle child. Now my 4yo and eldest want to learn to skateboard. I realised there was nothing stopping me from doing the same! Boards are on their way for Christmas. Can’t wait to learn together with the help of this video :)

i’m a 30yr old “poser” 😂 & jus picked up my first board a week ago 😅 a buddy told me abt u & this series..it’s been a massive help going through this process..been going abt 20mins-1hr a day & im seeing a ton of progress. thanks so much for these vids..also picked up the braille app & got my first ollie today bc of the vid on there !!!!

I'm a "come back after 15 years" guy and i really like the way this video is made. These exercises really helped build my confidence. Keep it up, much love from Austria!

turning 35 in a couple weeks - always wanted to learn to skateboard but my family was very against it. Picking up my first board next week and gonna finally do it. I lost 130 lbs over the last year from just getting out and doing stuff, so I'm still a hefty dude, but watching the vids has given me confidence and I think this can help a lot with me getting out and around the town more, too. If you got any tips for a big dude, let me know. I'll try to remember to post an update. Update: Have had a lot going on but still have practiced a few more times! I have a physical trainer who I work out with now and then and we both think I lost a lot of muscle mass in my knees and hips/back while I was really out of shape. Because of that, it's still REALLY hard for me to balance at all on the board. I've taken a few spills, can get both feet on now and then but mostly I kinda just shamble along with one leg on the board trying to push. I've started working out and doing squats with weights along with riding a bike I got (lmao i bought a bike so I could take my skateboard further out from the city to practice without as many people) and the bike has been helping a TON with rebuilding those muscles. So - it's still a work in progress. I haven't given up, I've taken some rough falls, I'm still alive and still not really doing great but not practicing a lot, too. And since I'm also trying to rebuild my health, it's just slow. Hopefully I'll have a better update, soon!

I'm 22, I started skating briefly when I was about 16/17, had a nasty fall and sprained my elbow but now I'm ready to get back on the horse! Thanks you so much for your encouraging videos!

Just got my first skateboard at 37. Decided it was finally time to take the plunge and I'm really appreciative of your content for this.

Thank you so much !! I recently started skateboarding with my little kid, I am 45 years old. And your video just come at the right time, thats awesome

Yo Aaron I’m a 40 yr old musician with Cerebral Palsy, I was in awe of skateboarding when I was younger, but never got down the basics, cause my balance point can be considered a zero at times. All I ever wanted to achieve was to be able to push and ride around. Your boot camp video gave me the confidence to try again, gonna get a board thick hoodie and jeans and hit my parking lot, keep you posted. 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻

Oh...this bootcamp is gonna be tough. I think an ollie will always be out of reach for me. But I will start with an advantage in episode 1, as I have begun skateboarding 3 years ago. Everything I will learn along the way is a plus in my book! The hardest will be to skateboard every day, as it is winter over here.

Recently recovering from a broken leg, I think going through these basics while i learn to walk again will help me learn to ride again also. Thanks Aaron!!

Whoever has been editing your featured content as of late has been doing an excellent job. Great transitions, B-roll is quality, and the animated graphics are well done. Keep it up!!!

Thank you for making this video. I'm in my 30s and I haven't skated in over 15 years. I have a 11 year old and a 3 year old and we are all learning the basics together. Thanks for this video! 🛹

I am 39 years old and have been extremely obese my entire life until the last year. I grew up watching Tony and the boys slay at the X Games and always wanted to learn how to do it myself.. My weight and physical condition always prevented it. Now that I’m down to a reasonable weight, I want to scratch Skateboarding off the bucket list. I just want to ride and turn properly. This video has given me the confidence to try it.. I went to Target, bought a board, made a few adjustments, and started pushing. Today was my first day and I was able to ride and push with confidence after an hour of practice.. I managed to check this off my bucket list and you are a big reason why. Thanks.

My toddler has been interested in skateboarding so much that he refuses to get off of the board unless we ride for a bit...even in the rain. These are perfect for me to get back into so I can teach him and skate with him can't wait to do my first kick flip just landed my first Ollie.

I’ve only skated a little bit and I’m just now getting into it at 25 and I’m stoked. I never had anywhere to ride where I grew up but I recently moved and there’s tons of spots and a park. Just watching the first 10 mins made me realize just the little things I did wrong that made it hard for me to skate. You earned another sub just from 10 mins! Thank you so much for this helpful info man and all the time and effort you put into these vids

Getting back into skating at 48 years old and it is terrifying! Just discovered Braille, and I've got to say how awesome and helpful this content is. Huge thanks to Aaron and the crew!
