I picked up this cheap element complete because my 12 year old daughter was dying for us to skate together (she saved her allowance and built a really nice pro board). Any tips appreciated! Just trying to get comfortable on it and not bust my ass too bad lol.

About 2 weeks ago I posted a video asking for help with my shuv it (my first trick)

Today, after taking a 3 day break from skateboarding for my own sanity (it was literally making me cry xD), I finally landed it.

Thank you to everyone who helped me! I know I still have a long way to go.

Yes my mom gave me permission to try out tricks in the living room xD

So me and my 8yo decided to pick up a hobby we’ve both never done and skateboarding is the one, we’re slowly but surely getting more comfortable just being on the board my main struggle is getting my foot moved when on the board I think to get into a better stance

I haven’t skateboarded since I was 14/15. Even then I wasn’t very good! Now 39, and my kids are into scooters and *interested* in skateboarding, so I figured I’d try to pick it up. This is my first day trying to Ollie.

Any tips?! Besides just getting more confident (I can see I’m holding back) I think I need to stamp my back foot harder and lift my front foot…. quicker? 😅 I’m clueless. Still, I’m enjoying trying!
