Get comfortable with riding first. Then learn the next steps slowly, mastering the tricks before learning the next one.

Until you get comfortable with your board, try not to do tricks. Practice pushing and tic tac and kick turns. Have fun with skating!

Try to more weight on you back foot when you want to ticTac
Just ride your board till your comfortable then try and Ollie Good Luck!
To turn just lean towards the left or the right with your feet.
Ride with your friend . It’s motivating
Get used to riding on it first
Watch out of your upper body movements, and how matters the weight on one foot or the other in general. Use correctly your arms. For tic tac put a little bit more weight on the back foot. Look forward and use the arms to face right and left, this makes twist your hip. Do it gently. Every time your front wheels touch the floor you're putting weight on them, so it's like a dance. Put and put off this weight. Use knees to transmit and switch the weight as an a shock absorber and to bounce.
Practice on the grass when you get comfortable and familiar with your board.
Don‘t give up, it is all about practising!
Skate within your limits, but always push yourself to learn something new at least once a week. Don’t compare yourself to better skaters either because we all have to start somewhere
Just start riding your board anyway you can even if it’s just straight forward
To move you have to lean
Just ride your board as often as you can so that you train your balance and that you’re comfortable on your board.
Hey it will help you if you try tictac on grass and try to put your weight on to your back leg.🙂
I’m not super good at skateboarding but I can do the basics. Practice tic tacs while standing or holding onto a railing. Then gradually start moving faster while doing them. Just keep practicing! 👍👍
Just stick with it because its a great sport and practice pays off
Just ride alot untill you feel sade on your board
Go at your own pace, don’t worry what others do
Don’t rush into it to try and look cool, learn to skate real comfortably then try tricks
First just keep practicing riding and for turning put your foot on the tail and press
Watch videos about skateboard to get familiar with what proper skating looks like. braille skateboarding is a good channel 🔥
Maybe try to manual, then tic tac will be easier
Just lean your body the way you want to go.
Hi! I’m no pro but I’ve found that just riding around is the best thing to do! Getting comfortable on the board. Pushing off, riding around and getting your balance. And then practice getting a feel for where your feet should be and your stance. Once this feels good and solid then practice tik taks while moving. Hope this helps!
It’s all about practice but make sure that your board will actually turn . If it doesn’t you need to loosen the trucks a little .

Just cruise on you’re board wherever you go to get comfy on your board. After you are good on your board then start learning tricks🛹
Like what everyone else is mentioning, you’ll definitely want to get comfortable riding your board before learning any flat ground tricks. Keep riding, avoid any medium/big rocks cause that could send you flying a couple feet lol.
Lean to one side of your board and if you can’t do that loosen your trucks
Yeah bro so it really the same as when you turn your board a little up to go to the direction you want it to go. So basically all you have to do is move right and left with your back foot on the end of the board and you front foot in the middle put your board up a little with your back foot and turn 😎
Start learning and getting comfortable on riding then learn how to turn by learning or lifting your tail
Starting skating can be hard at first- but you’ll get there if you really believe in yourself. Make sure you visit local skateparks and try make some friends at your level. If you find that hard try get some of your friends into skating too. Then you can enjoy it all together. Riding at parks can give you experience and one of the fundamentals of skateboarding is learning how to drop in. I’d recommend learning how to do this and Ollie and multiple of the basics at first.
Ride everywhere
Just take some of the weight off your front foot and twist your hips the direction you want to go.
Get comfortable with your board feel it out loosen and tighten your trucks
Try just stepping on it and riding on it with someone’s hands to help
Practice riding around and getting comfortable before trying tricks
