So, you watched a video of a cool guy using a skateboard to do tricks and going super fast and thought "I want to look cool too!" Then this is not the place, because i am going to to teach you the basics. Don't expect going around kickfliping into a tail grind at the beginning, it will be like learning how to walk again, so then eventually, you will be able to go nuts and do awesome looking tricks. Let's begin
Equipment
Well, to start learning skaboarding you will need the following items:
Skateboard (obviously)
Protection (you will look stupid yes, but you will look even more stupid with an broken leg)
Even surface to skate (sidewalk, street etc.)
Somewhere with grass (yard or something idk)
Now, let us start with something simple: Standing up and getting confortable on top of the board
Put protection on
Place the board on the grass (so it does not move), and identify where the bolts are
VERY IMPORTANT STEP! Discover which skating position you prefer, goofy or regular (like the picture)
Put lead foot on the nose (front) bolts, and ajust your positioning so the board stays stable
Put backfoot on the tail (back) bolts, and try to stand
If the board is wobbling to the sides, try bending your knees and using your shoulders to guide the board
