[Stabarila]

[anna631100]

[MoMunyer]

@anna631100 They sell some at Target... Some other stores may have them, but I got mine from Target.

[anna631100]

@MoMunyer Okay, thanks :)

[MrCandymountain15]

[synchrolilie]

If I wakeboard with my left hip in front will I skateboard the same?

[500Videos]

@synchrolilie yes

[5Five5BlankLegacies]

That board is soo loose. lmfao.

Check out my videos!

[ImKiddo8]

Thumbs up for Chick Skaters.

[dakielster]

my left ear feels lonely

[Noobdewd]

@dakielster My right ear feels lonely for me haha

[Mrabitharsh]

If I wanted to buy a skateboard just to get from point A to point B (like a bike. no tricks or anything fancy) how much would it cost?

[KleineDylan93]

@Mrabitharsh I bought a complete one today, it was 100 euro (Yes im from europe). And for 100 u've got a beginner, good one. good luck :D

[Mrabitharsh]

@KleineDylan93 Thanks for the reply, brah. Stay wavy.

[500Videos]

@Mrabitharsh I get mine for about $60- $70

[atxvegeta]

[amnesialover13]

[FreestylersUnited]

Amazing and inspirational! Please note... Freestyle skateboarding is where skateboarding begin! hehe

[taby485]

Thanks :D

[jlaturno]

Wow a video finally tysfm

[soondae2000]

my girlfriend tthinks i can't skate. i'll show her!!!

[SarahWuvsKandi]

This is pretty sick thanks Im gonna start practicing today xD

[233someone]

Should i get into skateboarding? my parents say i shouldn't coz ill be to embarressed learning(but im willing to give it a go)...they think its too late to learn and i will look stupid... i really want to, it looks really fun and it will be a great way to get around college next year. any advice on if i should get into it or not and on how to not look stupid will be useful.

[rspsmoverlol]

omg thanks i dont know how to skateboard im embarrest thanks soo much

im a try =p

[EasyDoesIt61]

@233someone Well how old are you? Doesn't really matter really but anyway theres a guy who is like 16 who is like 21 now and is amazing at an amature level. Never give up and stay commited and you will be improving fast just make sure your having fun with it the moment it stops being fun you should't do it its meant to make you happy not piss you off!!!!! Good luck.

[112taylorfan]

thnki u allllllloooooott....but i really cant do it...the only thing i can actually do is stand i fell i evry time i put both my feet on the skeateboard

[xMCRmyLovex]

MacBeth's are good skate shoes, right?

[EasyDoesIt61]

@xMCRmyLovex Not really I would reccomend some Nike SB or DC or actually any shoe that is a skate brand it's not like your gonna be ripping up your shoes super bad so like etnies are really good um Lakai, Emerica, Globe, Vans, just make sure you try many pairs untill you find one that you really like.

[xMCRmyLovex]

@EasyDoesIt61 I've had my MacBeths for a couple of months now and you can't kill those things though...

[kittiekatnat123]

GOD I CAN"T DO THE TICK TACK or however you spell it!! >=(

[tommierooney123]

ARRGGHHHH, I amm actually good at going straight but turning is a real problem for me >=(

[247Lopez]

i mango all the time lol

[byJaquezy]

Its weird because me and 3 of my other right footed skating mates are goofy and 1 of my left footed mates is regular. I know that stance isn't about your preferred foot but its pretty weird.

[brionystar]

i'm 19 and a chick.

is it weird to learn now??

[iWreXx]

@brionystar no, it's never too late :) (btw thats a 3days grace song check it out)

[NicholasJY99]

@brionystar no its never too late

[SorcerorSteve]

I'm right handed, but I skate like a lefty... Is that weird?

[isawesomelike]

@SorcerorSteve skating with the left foot forward is "regular" skating. dosent matter if youre a lefty or righty

[punkprincess8798]

i loved to skate wen i was lil but den i hurt my leg an i stoppd but now im datin a skater who also tells me to learn again which thnks to this video i can :)

[yellow48100]

im a noob i skate mongo :( how do i fix this?

[faithyy100]

i dont really use skate shoes just vans and perfect!

[BettyJy]

do we really need skateshoes? :s

[imorez1]

So basically, you need a skateboard, skate shoes, and a skate park.

I thought safety came before fashion, i'm pretty sure you need a helmet when skating, and as for skate shoes i think as long as your shoes aren't made out of jelly you'll be fine.

Now i'm not saying this video is not good because it is good, but come on people priorities.

[FlorasUtubeAcc]

just got a skateboard for Christmas I'm a girl my family thinks I won't make it and give up but I'm learnning...I think thx for vid

[caitandaud]

@FlorasUtubeAcc Me To ^.^

[EasyDoesIt61]

@FlorasUtubeAcc Do not give up as long as you stay happy with it then you never should stop. How old are you? It's alot easier if your older and harder if your younger but usually the younger guys go pro or at least become really good if they stay commited. KEEP SKATING!!!

[lgeary95]

@FlorasUtubeAcc i got it for free and it was a beginners stakeboard and i try but i keep falling but when i was watching his utube i stop falling i learned so better from him :D

[nerdyXlove]

@FlorasUtubeAcc me friend gave me her old one so im learning too..good luck lol, we'll get through this somehow right?

[21LadyDxox]

my boyfriend doesn't think i'll learn to skateboard... i'll show him ;)

[BloodyTeardropRose]

is it normal for a skateboard to go always to the left and never straight?

[TheAe86crazy]

thanx bro this helped heaps

[YoungillOne]

Teach Me That Pop thingy It Sounds Awsome!! Plus Im tired Of picking Up my Skateboard.

[callmeKellyV]

I tried to tictac and i went backwards.

[InvalidxXxIntrest]

dude, you need to tighten up your bolts becuase your skateboard looks like its about to fall apart

[DualshockOfficial]

@skateboards What's that skate sk2?

[z0mbiekiller85]

[MrAlphaTT]

[SingingWithMyFriends]

[Fearight]

[ThatGuyInTheBasement]

[Mariko039]

Thanks a lot :'D

My mom wants to buy me a skateboard soon (I'm a girl) so I wouldn't spend too much time on the laptop, so thanks for the beginner tutorial :))

[guinasaw]

dont u need to tighten ur trucks a lil bit ?

[90sassy09]

im suchaa fail!

[123gameraddict]

is it okay if u don't have skate shoes cuz i don't and my parents wont buy one pair

[ChrisC581]

@123gameraddict Its ok but just saying if you where skate shoes you have more grip and when you jump off a a 10 set it wont feel hard it but if you were casual shoes then its will hurt and there is less grip

[123gameraddict]

@ChrisC581 Thank you for telling me

[Lastwatched]

1:21 to 1:25 fail

[Sheauleung]

Seananners inspired to me to skate =3

[rexkobedude]

I HAVE HAIR LIKE THAT does that mean im cool!!!!

[xDisturbed8X13]

To all skaters: ... you are awesome, awesome fucking people

[wwemaniac1234567]

im a lefty in evrything i do and i wanna know how to skateboard. My question is how is it goofy. Im good at it

[royaltomsolo]

@beytweet777 hey, I'm not much of a skater, but I think I can help. For ur board turning left, check ur wheels and tighten them just a lil. I say this cuz if they r loose and u slightly put ur weight on the left ull turn. And for the 1 curve, that isn't bad, it sorta means the curve stays at the back ( in some cases) it just means u r really only to use 1 side of the board :P

[Skabbsie]

I'm 19 and I just decided I want to learn to skate, is it too late?

[cikenbrand]

@Skabbsie nahh. there's no age restriction in skateboarding. learn step by step slowly and you'll get better soon :) dont ever give up and just have fun with it! ^_^

[AngelTheTigress]

@Skabbsie no.

[X9alpha9X]

Is goofy for lefties or what?

[IlhamQusyairie]

[JustinDrewBieber1998]

@cakeattack21 omg I'm trying to skate and I have a stuffie collection too!! :) cept skating is really hard to learn and other girls think u going skater if u wanna try skating.

[sammiew99]

If your a girl that skates hab

[mjndblain]

your trucks are too loose man...

[mbx301]

im 11(girl) and my friends like to skateboard.i wanna learn basic stuff like what the dude is talking about in the video,i know how to do tic tac

[GreenDotDress]

@cakeattack21 me too :D , the girls at my school are mostly cheerleaders (not the stereotypical ones). and I'm the tough girl of my school though no one dares to tease about anything , even my stuffed animals collections at 13 :P . Though im not the gangly type of tough girl, I'm open mined about trying out the more girly side of things I prefer the more outgoing things . I'm labeled as the tough girl from everyone because I recklessly hit people (nothing ever serious) :P

[cakeattack21]

@GreenDotDress same dude, i am considered the tough one in my school too. I also have a stuffed animal collection :D. good to know that i am not alone

[cookiesforsanta]

u dont really need a skate park to learn how to skate when ur learning.. just go on the grass and learn how to ollie and then u'll get it

[kaylinheartschu93]

skateboarding isn't just a guy sport. thumbs up if you support skater girls :)

[zargoloth]

@kaylinheartschu93  its true i know a lot of girls that scateboard and theyre better than most the guys

[poopshooter500]

@kaylinheartschu93 im a guy and my sis skates so ya ill thumbs up on that

[TheJdk06734]

I am a girl am 11 and i am gettting a skateboard just like imdragongirl and cakeattack21 i always wanted to skate so plz repy because i need more answers

[beytweet777]

hey dude ur vid was gret bt i wanna ask u few qstions:-

1.when i ride my skateboard it turns on left automaticlly.what can i do

2.ma skt board has a curve only on 1 side,is it good or bad(m asking dis bcos urs havin bothside)

pls rply

[iamacharliest]

@beytweet777 if it turn left automatically its probably something to do with your trucks, have a look at the and see if they are centered properly or not, and by curve do you mean nose and or tail? if so yea a skateboard normally has both, maybe one end of yours is just worn out? or maybe if its a cheap one it won't have it?

[slipknot09atforum]

@beytweet777 It could be as the other guy said maybe loose trucks or it could be your balance if you just started and you ride goofy (with your right foot in front) people who ride goofy tend to turn to the left auotmatically

[willywill710]

Loose trucks dude

[1313lakers]

What kinda shoes are the best for skate boarding

[iamacharliest]

@1313lakers skate shoes

[iamacharliest]

@1313lakers tho on a serious note..what feels more comfortable, i like globe and osiris

[slipknot09atforum]

@1313lakers Whatever feels comfortable to you but if you are just starting I suggest shoes that give you ankle support

[XxJW69xX]

Hey all you new skaters! Check out my channel for the basics! only 1 video so far, but 5 more will be coming within the few days. *SPOILER ALERT* A few carpet board tricks!

[DylanDesign]

Oh my god. THANK YOU! All the other beginner vids I've found here are shit house! This one was really helpful!

[aflpds9]

hey im an 11 year old girl (yes its possible) and ive been wanting to board for 2 years now. 2 years ago i bought a board and ive been trying to ride but im terrible lol. i luv to watch my cousin skateboard hes awesome, i gots me some vans and im ready to go!!

[pickgaurd2012]

thanks that helped alot

[daryltchan]

Good vid. But skate park seems unnecessary

[retartedplatypus98]

Does your board say "RIP Craig"?

[XxKTNFTWxX]

@imdragongirl I'm same as you, but I'm a guy.

[shadowario]

dc ftw :D

[stokventje]

Is it better to have a skateboard that is loose or tight when you start to skateboard? I mean by loose that you can move the deck forwards and backwards a lot when standing on it when still, like snowboarding... or is it better that you have much more stability? I have this old skateboard that I use now but it's very loose so I'm thinking about buying a tight/stable one

[MissAshVideos]

Hey everyone! I really want to be a skater and have a skate shop in California somewhere, and yes, I am a girl :) And proud of it! I'll try to post some videos of me skating once I learn so be sure to check it out!

[imaginethat71]

@lazyzebra123 im a black girl and i suck too. i dont think black people were supposed to skate...lol

[NoHaterz101]

@imaginethat71 ummmm terry kennedy

[lilg124]

I'm black, 17, with dreads. I just wanna skate and make music

[gameforli1]

you rock cameron!!!!!! i'm a 13year old kid i just started skateboard a week ago and i already know how to ride it, a tick-tack and a kick-turn!!!! click like if you are a beginner and learnt lots from cameron.

[3ch0er]

Im goofy i feel speshal lol

[r0ckingdude1]

I like skating but in Pakistan there is no place for skating

[NYC4EVA100]

I wanna be a pro at skateboarding!!!!!! it looks so easy when it's pretty hard!!!! I hate it how guys think it's not 'girly' to skate! I don't give a stuff

[NYC4EVA100]

@cakeattack21 OMG U ROCK GIRL!!! I am also a girl learning to skate coz I got a new board last year and still havent used it !!!! U r awesome

[NYC4EVA100]

@cakea

[mlggamer1243]

[BFAB1000]

[boomboomchika101]

[boomboomchika101]

Ur skateboard makes myn luk lyk a lowrider >.<

[SundialSkateCrew]

Yo, they say don't push mongo but the top skater in our crew pushes mongo.

[TheWorldofnoob]

Who really cares how old you are or if your a girl or a boy anyone can skateboard.

[cakeattack21]

I'm 12 ( yes I am a girl) and I've wanted to skate my whole life. I got a pair of vans skate shoes today and my family said that I should learn how to skate. I'm such a klutz and im not afraid to stand out if people think it's weird that I'm a girl and it's not "girly" to skate. who the hell cares!! I'm gonna do what I wanna do and your gonna like it! I GIVE A SALUTE TO ALL GIRLS WHO SKATE, WANT TO LEARN TO SKATE, OR ARE LEARNING TO SKATE!

[PatricijaMurniece]

@cakeattack21 Same with me here

[slipknot09atforum]

@cakeattack21 ooo kayyyyyyy... your comment seems odd to me but maybe its because I live in Venice, California .... everyone here skates

[cakeattack21]

@slipknot09atforum I live in the New York suburbs (30 min from NYC) in a small town called Scarsdale (dont stalk me...). In my town girls do there girly stupid stuff, and boys do rough sports, some skate, and do whatever else boys do. There is not ONE girl that skates in my town (except me). Kids would make of fun of you if your a girl that does boys stuff, and dresses in skater friendly clothes. Me being my awesome self doesn't really give a damn what the others say. btw are you a girl?

[slipknot09atforum]

@cakeattack21 I most certainly am not, why?

[cakeattack21]

@slipknot09atforum just curious, are you goofy or regular? sorry with the questions, i tend to ask a lot of things

[slipknot09atforum]

@cakeattack21 I started goofy but I know both now

[JJSleeZ]

@cakeattack2 All of u GUYS that watch this and dont thumbs up are GAY FAGS

[cakeattack21]

@JJSleeZ i wouldnt really say gat fags but everyone should REALLY accept girl skaters. It's not cool to not do what you wanna do

[misslovercssa]

@cakeattack21 lmao ikr im 12 and i wanna skate to and im super clumsy :/



[XXFlamesawXX]

@cakeattack21 dude , everybody likes a girl who skates. wtf are u talking about. Lol u should be happy not angry (fighting) . idk whats the big deal about being a girl. never seen ppl makin big deals about being a gurl i live in florida mayb its in other states? anyway good luk have fun , and dop not quit. at first everyone is bad. they fall , get hurt , so good luck ;]

[cakeattack21]

@XXFlamesawXX considering the fact i live in a prissy town where everyone follows the rules, a girl skater is a bit shocking to the kids in my town.

[XXFlamesawXX]

@cakeattack21 u shoudnt care wut dem prissy's say u do what u wantt. i doubt they will complain.

[cakeattack21]

@XXFlamesawXX probably... i think this conversation has gone on a little to long btw

[skullsofdeath903]

im 9 and i picked up the mongo

[weirdgirl4life]

i just got a skate board 2 day :) im 11 ( girl ) and im trying to learn how to skate

[madhatter3695]

[TheeSexxiChikk]

Haha:) yeah, I'm 14 and I'm a girl. I got a skateboard for my birthday because my parents want me to get out of the house and do something besides black ops.:) so like, this is weird;) and I think I've broken my tail bone, but it's been a month, and I've gotten better.. Any tips?

[elchupagorra]
