I just started skateboarding and since its winter ive been skating in my basement on carpet. I can ollie pop shovit nollie kickflip and sometimes heelflip. I thought i was good so my buddy took me to a skatepark. I thought it wouldnt be much different but when i got onto concrete its like im the biggest pussy in the world. anyone know how to help with this "pussiness"?

yeah.practice alot.i used to skate as well,i also thought i was good till i actually went up on the vert.that shit is crazy man.i dont really know any tips for helping you get through your fears but if your worried wear pads dude.

thanks metal head

not being a pussy maybe?

hahaha i cant skate for shit, and i wont go into those skate parks, i like my head and bones the way they are

dude i use to skate all the time..but i was the opposite. i was really bad at it but did crazy shit because i thought it was funny. if your scared of the park try street skating...shiit, its scary as fuck. when i use to skate downtown miami, bro that shit is crazy.

Tips: No fear.

You can't get good at it unless you are willing to make mistakes and learn from them.

I used to skate ALOT. I broke both me collar bones doing so on one occasion....Just don't be scared. I got a hairline fracture in my ankle a long time ago, thats what made me quit basically.

Dude I think your actual problem is your not practicing your tricks while riding the board or rarly practicing. That used be my problem. Try to like re-learn all of your tricks while moving. They will get so much easier fast. When trying to learn new trick also do it while riding. You may fall more but you will make decent progress. After you learn new tricks just try them going off a ledge or a 1-3 stair. You will get pretty decent in like a year. Sounds like a long time trust me it goes by pretty fast as you start learning more tricks.

I taught my friend who never skated in his life (besides sitting on the board) how to skate and it took him about 4 months and he was better than me.

So I'm fairly sure my method works. Of course some methods don't work for certain people. Results may vary lol

agreed..your not gonna learn if you dont just go for it..and go for it big

even though that never worked for me because when i skated i was fearless and i fucking sucked compared to the people i skated with
