Skateboarding Question!

How do you turn on a skateboard?? I can go straight, no problem but when ever I attempt to turn, I lose my balance and fly off. Is there some sort of footing technique or something?? I’m quite befuddled. help

Answer #1

well you have to press down on the back of the board and then while its up like kinda swing your leg to the side you want to turn but not to hard because u’ll probably fall haha but yeah try doing it quick while the boards in the air (the front of the board that is lol)

Answer #2

The front and rear trucks on your skateboard should turn in on the side you lean. If your trucks won’t steer than your bushings might be too hard or shot. Like wheels, bushings are sold in different hardnesses or durometers. You might want to take your skateboard to a skate shop to see if you need new or softer bushings.

As far as footing goes, you need to stand with your feet on top of the trucks. If you land with your feet not over the trucks you can break your deck and this type of break will not be covered by your waranty.

Go on utube and search up how to tick tack that helped me a lot when I used to skate I used to wanna do old school tricks like casper anti caspers primo flips etc… but I progressed and turning is fun lol but try to loosen your trucks makes it easier to turn with out having to do so much work hope it helped keep on skating!!! Lol
