Got this Element skateboard as it’s the same one I use in the THPS Remake and immediately bailed out and fell backwards but I ain’t giving up >Practice makes perfectHow do I get better at balancing and learning to fall backwardsI probably would have died or got heavily injured if I didn’t wear that helmet or ended up becoming a bigger tard than I already amI was laughing my ass off when I fell thoughWhat’s your advice on a beginner skater like me
>>215541There’s a board (no pun intended) for that with a general for skateboarding /esg/ you’re welcome to post thereIf you’re being serious I’d ask how old are youIt’s always a good idea to watch lots of videosFor me it’s all about developing muscle memory with constant repetitionI wouldn’t be a good person to ask since I learned that as a kid but I guess you could get a balance board or try balancing yourself in the grass first

>>215541This guy is cool
>>215543I’m 29CopeSeetheDilateHave sex
>>215541>Just Started Skating
>>215545Take your meds
>>215543i didnt ask you what 9+10 was
>>215541Just ride around on it a lot. Don't worry about doing tricks yet. Once you get comfortable enough try doing kick turns and manuals. I learned to pop shuvit before I could ollie but it's whatever feels natural. Don't try to run before you can crawl is the point.
>>215541When I first started I would just take it inside the house and just stand on it or on the grass outside, fuck around and lean with it as much as you want. If you can find something to hold on to while you push it on normal ground, you'll eventually get it
>>215541Find somewhere to skate around In a circle. Ideally flat smooth ground It's a young man's game most pros start off skating since the age of like 6 and then get insanely good by 21 know how to fall etcGood luck
>>215541There is no shortcut, time on the board is all that counts, find a basketball or tennis court and just push around for a few days, figure out what stance works best for you (have your non kicking foot at the front of the board) figure out how to stop, first by just putting a foot down, then figure out how to stop by putting the tail on the ground, once you can do that learn tic tacs, then kick turns front and backside, then manuals (wheelies). then find an incline and roll up and back to fakie. then roll up the incline and kick turn, by then you should be able to balance on the board well enough to start thinking about ollies, oh and learn to run out instead of letting the board shoot you onto your ass/face, once you are at that point you can go to a skate park only look mildly retarded, also if you are serious about skating you will destroy the bearings in that element complete.
>>215541>fell backwardsthe balance with skating is almost constantly leaning further forward than you'd think. not like bending at the waist but putting much more weight on the forward foot.
>>215541>Element skateboardits so over
>>215545this fucking retard thinks "Have sex" is a good come backnewsflash faggot you had 2 decades to learn to skate and now you're doing it at an age that is gonna raise eyebrows at the skatepark.Go do something more socially acceptable for your agelike bjj or boxing or someshit. You're just gonna look like a pedophile for being the weird guy that started doing a teenager hobby at 30
