Beginner Skater Tips !!
these are helpful things i've figured out as a self taught skater boi™️
bend your knees and squeeze your butt cheeks just a smidge. This will help you balance while allowing you to relax your upper body.
get really comfortable rotating the foot on your standing leg. this is for balance and steering.
the street is not always your friend. my rule is: if I wouldnt bike there, i won't skate there (bike lanes are iffy. I usually go for sidewalks if theres gravel build-up).
eyes up! you naturally steer to where you are looking, so avoid staring at your feet.
important skills to master are balance, pushing, steering, and stoping. Fear of falling will hold you back, so bonus points for bailing skills!
