yes, thank you, but this only teaches me how ride on a skate park, but i dont have a skate park near me, im in lisburn/northern ireland and skateboarding is not very popular there. I can only ride on the streets and the ground is really rough, so i find it quite hard to skate there. Can you please make a video that teaches you about street skating! Please, I really need it!

@davidpeudov98 - The earlier chapters in this series tell you all about the basics of riding on normal flat terrain.

is it bad that i ride goofy.?

[LearnToSkateboard]

@juanolandez - Nope. There is nothing "right" or "wrong" about being goofy or regular. Either one is fine. Just like surfing and snowboarding - just stand the way which feels the most comfortable. Some people even teach themselves to stand both ways.

Hey Eric, just a quick question, for general skatepark riding should I have my trucks really tight so I can barely turn but it makes tick-tacking easier. Or should I have it really loose so carving is easier? I really love your videos, I was just looking for tips for skatepark but I decided to start from Chapter 1 and I have learnt so much! Thank you!

[LearnToSkateboard]

@Irtehrocker - Depends on what you're trying to do. If you are riding a halfpipe, you usually want tighter trucks. If you are learning to carve bowls/pools/snakeruns, you want looser. I typically say - ride them as loose as you can without getting speed wobbles. Just bring a skatetool with you and experiment. Good luck!

You rock, Eric and friends. The order of instruction and in-depth explanation you gave is really world-class. My boys and I are going to have fun skating around NorCal for years thanks to gifts like these.
