Question

im learning to ride a skateboard, and its hard to keep my balance, any balance practice tips?

and also any other starter skateboard tips

Answer 1

To help keep your balance, put your back foot on the tail and your front foot about 3/4 the way up the board.  Bend your knees for balance.  Here are some videos when you are ready for tricks.

Answer 2

Try to keep a good positoning stance for the whole time you ride and just keep cruising make sure you go your own pace and dont slack also somewhere it said bananas are good for balance so just keep cruising youll get it in no time

also when you learn to do the ollie dont get frusterated its a hard trick!

GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPED AND HAVE FUN ON IT

Answer 3

Keep your back foot centered near the tail of your board, but not on it, your front foot should be right before the 4 bolts. Remember to bend your knees. When you learn some tricks you can learn to keep your foot somewhat in front of the middle of your board, and your back foot on the tail.

You can start with a manual, which is pretty easy if you go at a good speed, try to keep your self balanced with your knees bent and slowly push the tail of your board down and try to keep that down as much as you can but not slamming it down on the ground.   Good luck =)
