10 Things To Learn Your FIRST WEEK Skateboarding 🛹

Watch part 2 of this series here:    • 10 TRICKS YOU CAN LEARN BEFORE OLLIE!...  

A lot of beginner skaters spend their first hours with their new board learning simply how to ride a skateboard (push, balance, and coast) and once they're able to do that, they're not sure what comes next. Is it the ollie?

I wouldn't recommend it!

Instead, I'd say it's a much better idea to start out with some other maneuvers, the first 10 of which we'll be going over in this video, so that you can start to actually get more and more comfortable on your board and set you up to succeed as an advanced skateboarder in the long run.

So, grab a helmet and some pads and let's get into the list of my top 10 most useful tricks and techniques that you should be focusing on learning during your first week of skating.
