    "Maybe there's gravel there maybe there's a dog? something you don't want to hit!" LOLZ

    This guy can explain things in a very intelligible way. I wish my teachers in school could speak like that. Maybe I would've been more educated..
  • @euanstewart9200
    Thanks mate. Good clip. Just into surfing and got a drop through longboard too. Wife thinks I'm nuts at 48 yrs old and going through another mid life crisis. She maybe right but hell it feels great! All the best..

    An advise as a beginner to pros, wear a helmet peeps. I know u think it looks noobish, but nah, it looks badass when this one pro zips past you in full gear and confident in himself. It's kinda like when this guy is riding his motorcycle at 200+ and doesn't wear any gear, we call him a squid. But this guy fully suited up doing the same thing, we be like "Daammmmmmnnnnnn"

    Almost 4 years later and still the best longboarding lesson I've seen on YouTube.
  • @HNXMedia
    Your videos are very informative and help a ton. As a super noob long-boarder I am trying to take in all the advice I can. Bought my first board in my mid 40s. If I don't get myself killed, I'll continue to watch. Thanks and namaste!

    Kicking ur wheel is scary πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ i did it and I almost went flying and I didn't even have any speed going
  • As an older guy, it's nice to see a young person who knows how to talk properly and explain something to a camera. Great job sir.
  • @ISIHIA23
    That was the best explanation out of the 20 i watched, awesome job! Time to practice πŸ˜„

    β€œMaybe there’s gravel there, maybe there’s a dog πŸ•, something you don’t want to hit.” Lmao πŸ˜‚
  • Just bought my first longboard today. Never ridden skateboards before and I’m 44. Cheers for the tips, it’s time to get practicing.

    This is the best video I've seen so far regarding how to turn/carve. I'm a beginner (a few days in), and the biggest problem I have right now is making the board go where I want it to go. Very helpful advice, especially the tip for leading with the shoulders
  • @dafunk74747
    bro your speaking/explaining skills are on point. great vid.
  • @HoLDoN4Sec
    a lot of skateboarders wear caps backwards, does that count as a helmet? SAFETY FIRST KIDS!
  • @misakichoi636

  • @laboratoriya
    I have watched tons of videos to learn longboarding. This video is different. He is telling the key points. As a biker, your eyes are very important, it leads you to where you wanna go. Another point is to look forward all the time, this is very important as well. Thanks a lot. This video helped me a lot.
  • @not4dagames
    Thanks for the video . Especially with the pushing. As a newbie skater I need all the basics and you get in depth when explaining the steps. You actually explained why I fell. I was pushing and my foot got caught by the board. Lol. Feel forward and about one hospital visit later.... Anyway thanks. I subscribed. Please keep the videos coming.

    Awesome tutorial man, thanks for taking the time to post it. I'm an out of practice, almost 40-something who used to surf, longboard and snowboard. 20 years or more since I broke my knee snowboarding and I'm finally back on a longboard. It's been easier to watch the videos and get back on a board watching your stuff, so again many thanks!
