well i got my first board so i went skating just to you know get used to the board andpeople always say skate the way wich is most comfterbal wich is regular for me ( i think)

any way when i stop pushing and just skate instead of having my feet like this



wich is the way most people skate

mine are like this



so should i just go like this or will it give me less balence or make it harder to do tricks or just carry on dowing this
wich feel more natral

(still cant spell )

There's nothing wrong with cruising like that, many people do it. However, when you line up to do a trick you obviously have to shift your feet to the correct ollie/whatever position.

Practice.

Sideways is the new forwards.

If you move your front foot somewhere between the two positions you'll find you can still feel comfy, balance and turn easily...

If your foot is too pointy (picture 2) you'll find turning without tic-tacking difficult.

I skate with sillier foot positions than that all the time

Once you're used to it, it's second nature to you, don't worry about it

Yeah but you're a lesbian!

And you've been skating ages.

May as well get the lad to try to start off with good habbits!

I'm a lesbian?
WUT WUT?

(also did you get my text before?)

Text.. er.. I've not had my phone on for a few days... (week maybe)...

*goes to find charger*

Edit.. Damn.. I should have read that sooner.. I've already made plans and only got a babysitter for the afternoon..

it's probably too late now anyway, but check yer PMs.

See above.

That is the way i started out, standing like that

When you get used to the board i promise your feet will go to the right positions
