Skateboarding Basics : How to Turn on a Skateboard

[MoName1998]

Thanx

[swaggirlswag]

im a girl skater and this helped me but i cant turn easily left o.o

[HesterDW]

This is becoming harder than it should be for me. I loosen my trucks and I get the wobbles then I tighten them and I cant turn. Sigh

[xWonkaBarManx]

Does the size of the wheel affect how you turn?

[shiv2947]

>>>---------( knee )---------->

[cooljosephite1]

comon girls , its not hard to skateboard n normal ppl don't think girls can't skateboard!

actually its no big deal 'Practice makes a MAN perfect' but we women are already perfect!

thats my motto!

[dinotje51]

@cooljosephite1 good motto my motto is take a chance

[TheLend2201]

do u have to loosen the trunks?

[23rdHokage]

I'm finding it hard to turn. Is it because the board is too big and I'm too light? I think I'm too light to make it turn..

[WorzBila]

Lol I can't seems to turn... Anyways I'm a girl.. Sometimes fell coz Iost my balance

[xoxoMissAllisonxoxo]

i learned to skate in 5 minutes sounds conceited but its actually hella fun when the wind blows through ur hair I'm a girl btw

[ZeroNoRainbows]

its no fair... i just learn how to turn then i completely lose balance of my skateboard and fall...

[lashae30norman]

that doesn't work.i have to to put pressure on my back foot lift up a bit and turn.

[Kissonthelips16]

Should the wheels be able to wiggle when you're not on it? Such as.. Should you be able to move it with your hand with ease?

[SickAlex2496]

Wow I read the title and thought it literally ment to "tutn" it on like a car or something -_-

[Thegroupcomedian]

ha ha! i re-tried this after a year and i didn't crash into a fence!....i crashed into a tree....

[eyetoy2009]

thanks for the vid. I've been trying to turn using my whole body. even though i don't skateboard for real, this helped me play my game better. (tony hawk ride)

[10blonde11]

Thanks so much! I would always hae to stop it then turn t cause i didn know how to turn... Lol.

[jrdespyte]

[YoFuzzaMuzza]

[crazyandbeautifulz]

I was wonderin does anybody no what kind of skateboard I have? On the back it says ALMOST in red letters a couple times.Plz reply if u no.

[Meganxx955]

@crazyandbeautifulz I'm not sure if this is what you were asking lol but there is a brand of skateboard called Almost out there.

[bonniebaby1997]

im getting a new skateboard and i know how to but i always struggle on turns! thanks!!! :D

[shadowfax02]

expert village what a surprise -.-

[Narutoxbleach503]

Thanks, I was wondering about this because I was thinking about hooking up motors on a skateboard, similar to a segway without a handle, but had no friggin clue how to turn.

[sagebalcom13]

@Narutoxbleach503 that. sounds. epic! post a vid if you do! haha

[KATELYNNIMNOTPURPLE]

Thumbs up if you heard the scream in the background at 1:10

[MegaBANANAS17]

@KATELYNNIMNOTPURPLE : It was an owl.....I THINK?

[GhostAmbrosia]

when i bought mine it wouldnt turn but any skateboard can if you losen the skrew in the middle..:D

[Lawliet103]

I find it really hard to turn. When Lean forward I move a little bit when skating but when I lean back I doesn't move at all. I think I need to loosen the trunk a bit. Does anyone have any other ideas?

[UMcole]

It might be that one truck is looser than the other try adjusting the kingpin until both the trucks have the same feel.

[12fitim]

this guy has the GOOFY stance or sum shit



[oliviaf11]

press 3 over and over and look at the shadow

[TheHothead101]

[MarsTheReviwer]

[immaskata515]

@IAMSAM1234567890 loosen your trucks! Hope I Helped (:

[howching]

@IAMSAM1234567890 btw when he says trucks its the kingpin area. Don't loosen the flat bit on the truck or you'll get hurt

[ygut7e5yt]

[313jcruz]

[josegeoful]

Is that a walmart skateboard

[charlotteccw]

really handy i just wanted to know if all skateboards turn

[CreativeDudette]

Your feet look a little to big for that skateboard..

[bRaDZao9]

do you have rubber wheels?

[CannedDolphinStubbs]

Next on expertvillage we will be teaching you how to push on a skateboard,

followed by how to carry a skateboard,

and finally how to get off a skateboard.

[bRaDZao9]

my skateboard dosent turn as much at yours , how can i make it turn more?

[DaRAnOiD]

@bRaDZao9 one thing you can do is loosen up the trucks from your board

I'm no expert though so this may or may not work, and if you didn't know the trucks are the metal parts at the bottom of your board which the wheels are attached to

[Andalorre1000]

@DaRAnOiD thats what i did!! and it really works!!

[DaRAnOiD]

@Andalorre1000 that's so cool! i am so smart- S-M-R-T

[laurenblahblah8]

What is considered goofy ?? Right foot forward or left? Cuz I cant turn on my right side.. I practicley lean and flex my WHOLE feet to turn but it still goes straight.

[kingrat12699]

[basketballrox1999]

[0oSapphireFlameso0]

@coleen123456789 yea yea very funny my

[MegaEnigma333]

just becuase ur a good skateboard dosnt mean u look good on a skateboard like this guy above. thumbs up if u agree

[MultiJustloveme]

ty dude!!! just got a new skateboard 4 christmas...and people think chicks can't skateboard...

[1themusicgurl]

@MultiJustloveme: right! girls are bettr than guys in like every way! It's also scientificly proven that girls mature faster than boys.

[rminitials]

@1themusicgurl

It's no wonder they bitch about life a lot sooner than guys do. Lucky you.

[evilangelsora]

@1themusicgurl That's being sexist. You wonder why half the world has so many sexist issues. Men and Women are EQUAL! You don't think so? There are men and women who are crazy, mentally unstable, Etc. Men and women can get huge muscles and everything. Men and Women can be awesome gamers! Get the point!? Sure, women mature faster, but atleast us men like to live life and have fun all the time. We don't need to take everday so seriously.

[1themusicgurl]

@evilangelsora: Why don't you stop worrying about what I'm saying and start worrying about you! I never said we weren't equal retardo! I said girls are better! Haha! It's so funny how you just said I'm sexist when you're the one who said, quote on quote: "Sure, women mature faster, but atleast us men like to live life and have fun all the time. We don't need to take everday so seriously." So actually you have no room nor right to say that I'm sexist!

[1themusicgurl]

@evilangelsora: Also, you need to check yourself! Nobody was getting mad until you started calling people sexist. And, girls don't even take things seriously! Last time I checked I was the funniest one in my class (FULL OF GIRLS & GUYS) You make me sick! Ugh!!! Like you don't know how mad I am!! I just want to punch you in freakin face! How dare you! Like WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!

[MADGRIGGS]

@MultiJustloveme I did too and i hate when guys come up to me and be like chick you not supposed to be on that.

[12fitim]

@MultiJustloveme chicks are smarter than dudes

[EthanRox619]
