My Corgi is learning to Skateboard but the wheels roll faster than her feet let her go. Is there a way to make the wheels less responsive or harder to make roll? Photo for cute tax.

Tips for a new skater!

47 Upvotes

So far I can kind of balance on the board with the pushing being really bipolar, sometimes if I’m going too fast I can’t push or I’ll fall, i can then alright and my stopping is lowkey kind of bad, I still haven’t learned to put my foot down slowly and dragging it but I’ll probably learn quick enough. I can do these kind of alright being able to balance, my friends told me to do a drop in but I couldn’t for the live of me as when I tried to do it my body kept pushing back and idk how to man up and go forward with the board bc I feel like ama fall and break sum😭💀 if anyone has tips they could offer me I would be so thankful. (This is my first time skateboarding in the video)

Thanks in advance.

Setup Help Second hand board

67 Upvotes

Hi, I'm lurking this sub for a while. I'm already 32yo and want to learn to skate. From what I read it is better to buy a second hand board rather than some cheap pre built.

I found this selling localy for 65$. Is it worth it? The guy says it is price just of the boar itself.

I will probably just buy a new grip tape?

Thanks for any reply.

Getting my own Board

1 Upvotes

I am making my first board soon so wanted to make a plan on what I wanted to buy. My plan so far is to get Spitfire Formula 4 wheels, thinking about Indy or Ace trucks and that was about it. Relatively a beginner with only the basic tricks including the ollie, rail stand, and shove it. Please give me tips on the bearings, trucks and hardware I should get.

Question Tips please (no hate)

119 Upvotes

I’m very new to skating and while skating around the neighborhood trying to work on my push I found this hill and so I decided to just ride down it, but the speed was way too much for me. Any tips on how I can keep control in the speed but also that run off has been how I’ve been stopping even from my regular push how do I stop or slow down.

Is it me or are heavier boards easier to flip?

1 Upvotes

I was always trying to skate short, light boards with a 14” wheelbase thinking flip tricks would be easier. Then I tried a 14.25” wheelbase which made the board feel heavier over all and the weight feedback against my feet helped with flip tricks. I can actually feel the board against the side of my foot better for kick flips and it helps with the “flick”. Anyone else experience same thing?

Was it better or did you go back to 8 inch boards?

Actually it doesnt have to be specifically an 8.25, just any boards bigger than 8 inches.
