      Learning balance is important, weight distribution, feet on bolts vs. feet on tail vs. nose, where the ‘pockets’ are…

      Equally important is learning how to bail safely. Jumping or stepping off the board while running is best, tuck-and-roll is a good failsafe plan.

      And always remember a core tenet of skateboarding culture is not giving one single FUCK about what anyone thinks. skeleton-wave

      Once you’ve got that down, practice manuals over and over and over. Like, every time you get on your board. You’re going to want to go straight to ollies but if you can master manuals then every other trick will be so much easier to learn. It really gets you comfortable with all the balance points on your board.
