What skaters said on Reddit
how to stand [VIDEO] Improve balance after comfortable on board [VIDEO] How to fall [VIDEO] Pushing, footing [VIDEO] Have plenty more however once you watch those it should put some more in your feed in you use the app! Have fun!
I would say (and this is just my opinion) that you should get extremely comfortable on flat - like to the point that you can just absolutely rip across a parking lot - before getting going on transition. [VIDEO] 2:22 and 6:42. I'd master those two techniques first.
Just saw this video yesterday... go to 2:30 mark. He's saying to have the front foot at 30 degrees [VIDEO] I don't know what's right but i imagine it's something you just end up figuring out
[VIDEO] only part you need to watch is at 2:22 to 2:58 hope this helps
Alright, so that ramp is literally useless. You are really going to hurt yourself a lot with that thing. It would be better to just go to a skatepark. As for learning how to skate, I put some links below to some good YouTube channels that can help, SkateIQ is probably the best. If you come across a channel called Braille Skateboarding, stay away from it, that channel is owned and operated by the Church of Scientology, so if you do not want to support a cult stay away from it, plus the guy who created Braille sold out and chose Scientology over the skate community and some more. So these 4 channels I posted are operated by real skaters who actually care about skating, and each channel has hundreds of videos on how to skate, do tricks, and more. Hope this helps.

Always remember before all the tricks were invented people used to focus on their style just riding an skateboard Get comfy riding, develope balance, know your stance, understand what is nollie, fakie, switch, regular n goofy. This may help [VIDEO]
Old guy here. I understand your pain. Anyways, try sliding on the floor and whatever feels most comfortable put that foot on the front of the board. Here's an example Skip to 1:02 [VIDEO]
