Hey everyone. I'm new here, and pretty new with my board. I can go in a straight line but for the most part I can't do anything else really, except turn a little. My worst thing is falling off cos I just get freaked out like I'm gonna break something... yeah I'm a wuss. Haha. Does anyone have any tips to help me out? I've been reading around about tricks and stuff on here and on skateboard city.com but I'm still hesitant even though I really want to learn. Please help me, any tips are welcome! Thanks so much!

no-one wants to fall and f**k themselves up, but it's part of the game, the sooner you realize no matter what yer gonna fall, and yer gonna bust yer ass up. the sooner you'll get over it so you can pull tricks without being afraid. it's kinda like peopel that are afraid of dying, why be afraid of somethin that no matter what, its going to happen. so i say don't be afraid, FORCE yerself to get over it (wich isn't easy, cause no-one wants to fall) and no matter what you'll always have a LITTLE bit of fear specialy on big tricks but just say screw it and commit yerself and you'll pull the trick you want eventualy, cause if you try anything and hesitate cause yer scared all yer going to do is fall even harder

Thats how I am with doing manuals, I am scared of falling when I balance, but you have to tell yourself, if you dont try because you are scared, what will you miss out on? Thats what I did right before I was gonna manual and then I just forgot about being scared and I went for it and did it..completing a trick or whatever is really cool to feel afterwards, it really feels good to know you can do it. And when you fall, sometimes its not as bad as you think.

did i say that same thing to you?hmm but anyways sometimes falling does help you to figure out what you are doing wrong and teaches you not to do that anymore.
