Started practicing for the first time today and have some questions
so it begin my skateboarding experience consists of a YouTube short and about 30 minuets of practicing how to go straight on a flat road
but I have some questions and was hoping someone would be able to answer
- when should I start learning to turn?
should I learn as I go straight or should I get good at going straight first and THEN add turning
-
how do I stop turning the skateboard accidentally?
so because I'm new I sort of wiggle back and forth a lot and that make the whole thing start turning slightly. do I just keep my weight center?
-
when I do learn to turn how far should i lean?
-
is the foot placement the same as on a scooter?
-
how do I stop the board?
-
how much bending should my knees be doing?
also any tips are GREATLY appreciated if yall have any
