What this video teaches

Start Skate School teaches the caveman with a student on grass first, where the board cannot move, releasing it to the floor and then gently jumping on. The progression is to use the back foot to bring the whole body onto the board and jump from that foot, then repeat the same thing but placing both feet on the board while still in the air. They insist on bent knees during both the jump and the landing, and on staying at zero speed until it feels comfortable before moving to a normal surface and walking into it slowly, then faster.

Key tips

  • Start on grass or any surface where the board cannot roll away
  • Use the back foot to bring your whole body onto the board and jump from that foot
  • Progress to putting both feet on the board while still in the air
  • Bend your knees during the jump and again on the landing
  • Practice with no speed until comfortable, then walk into it on a normal surface and gradually walk faster
  • A friend's hand can be used for support when taking it off higher obstacles
