5 Tips For Your First Time On A Skateboard

By developing some tricks, you’ll be able to have fun while at it. Even for those without many tricks, they still feel great when they’re capable of riding their skateboard without encountering any problem.

Here are some of the tips for beginner skaters that will definitely be of help to you, especially if you’re a beginner:

#1: Skate more, Practice daily

This tip might seem overly simplistic. However, if you really want to improve your skating, regular practice is necessary. The more hours you practice, the quicker you’ll taste success. Yeah, it is as simple as that! If you value skateboarding and/or you find it important, then it’s high time you give it the seriousness it deserves.

Refrain from spending most of your time handling many things while allocating just some minutes to skateboarding. If you make skating your top priority, you’ll be a pro sooner than you know it.

#2: Never get comfortable

Many beginners are normally afraid to fall or hurt themselves. If you fall or get hurt, you must learn how to deal with it. Nevertheless, it’s the last thing you should be worried about. The only thing that worrying does is lead to more worry. Just skate, have fun, and be safe.

As a skater, the worst habit you can ever have is being scared. Doing so will turn into ‘chickenfoot.’ It means that you’ll chicken-out, and kick the board away rather than committing to landing your trick. It’s necessary to develop the courage of stepping outside your comfort zone. Furthermore, you must learn how to overcome fear. Doing so will make you enjoy it more.

#3: Always spend time with better skateboarders

One of the greatest hacks for getting better and better at skateboarding is skating with talented pros. According to science, one becomes like those he or she surrounds him/herself with. If you spend most time with skaters that are better than you, you’re guaranteed of becoming just like them.

The other thing you need to do is watch countless skate videos. Take time to watch how your favorite pro skaters do their thing. Carefully study how they skate. To learn specific tricks, slow down the videos frame by frame. You’ll be surprised that even the pro skaters did it when they started.
