How to Land with Your Feet on Your Skateboard?

After you learn how to ride the skateboard, you may want to try out new tricks like ollie or flips. But the problem is, instead of landing both your feet on the board, your feet land on the ground, thus not completing the trick you've started. Being scared is perfectly okay. If you can't land with both of your feet on the skateboard, start with one foot.

It doesn't matter if it is your left or right foot. What matters is that you are determined to do the trick right. The key here is practice. After you can land on one foot, try landing on both feet. If the other foot still refuses to land on the skateboard, then there must be something wrong either with the execution of the trick or the form of your body. Practice on the grass or carpet, if you are not comfortable doing tricks while rolling on a concrete ground. Read articles and watch videos of the skateboarding trick you are trying to learn. You will learn fast if the experts tutor you, or at least, people who know what they are talking about.

Now try the trick again and be determined to land both of your feet to the board. If you still can't, I suggest to get help from somebody to determine what's wrong with your execution, someone you trust and understands about skateboarding, someone who is willing to help you improve your skill. Do the trick again. Practice until you get it right. If you are still having problems with one or both feet, practice harder and don't give up.

Although it is frustrating to practice but skateboarding should be fun. So relax and keep practicing.
