Do you have a brand-new skateboard? I suppose that would make your pals envious, wouldn't it? To get the high-level performance from your old school skateboards, you must take care of it despite how much joy and style these skateboard rides will bring you.
If you get a high-quality truck skateboard from a dependable supplier, you should also put an emphasis on their maintenance advice and instructions.
Put your skateboard on a patch of grass
To get started, put your old school skateboards on a patch of grass. Your feet should be in the right position. Then jump on and off, lean forward and backward, start learning how to push.
Put your feet in the right position.
When you get on your board, the first thing to do is put your feet in the right position. The trick to this is to have your right foot on the back of the deck, and then place your left foot on front of it (or vice versa).
This will help you push with both feet simultaneously, making it easier for beginners who are still getting used to skating.
Jump on and off, lean forward and backward
Once you have the board on your foot, push off with your back foot and jump off the ground. This is where things can get a little tricky.
You're going to want to jump off as if you were doing a wheelie (meaning: leaning forward) but keep in mind that you want to land on both feet so that when you come down, there isn't too much pressure on one side of the board or the other—you don't want to tip over!
If this seems difficult for some reason, try practising jumping onto your skateboard first before attempting it while rolling. It'll be easier than trying it for real because your balance will already be somewhat adjusted for when it comes time for rolling around town!
Start learning how to push.
The first thing you'll want to do is learn how to push. The board will naturally roll forward when you push down on one end of it, so the trick is getting your balance right so that the board stays under your feet at all times.
Once you've mastered the basic pushing motion, try some variations like standing side-on and pushing with one foot or leaning over on your stomach with both feet off the ground.
Pushing is just a part of old school skateboards—you won't get far without it!
But there are other things that beginners should know as well: how to turn, how to stop (it's harder than it looks), and how not to fall off when stopping suddenly or turning too fast.
Conclusion
This guide should have given you a good idea of how to get started with an old school skateboard. Remember, there’s no need to rush things and remember that practice makes perfect!
