Get Used to Skateboarding
First thing you want to learn is to skateboard of course so you know how to ride around on the skateboard.
Get on the Skateboard
After your done step one you want to step on the skateboard and get your balance.
Foot Positions
Once your on the skateboard you're gonna put your right for on the edge like half on your foot on the skateboard and the other half not on the skateboard and if you're used to your left foot of course on the other side and on your other foot, left or right, you want to put that foot maybe like 2 or 1 inch under the top bolts of the skateboard.
Practice Sliding Your Foot Up From the Top Bolts
So from here you want to step on the edge of the skateboard and slide your foot up and keep doing that until you get used to it.
Practice Jumping on Your Skateboard Without Falling
So now you want to keep jumping off the skateboard and landing on it without falling off the skateboard and now you get used to that and you don't fall again, move on to the next step now.
(Last Step) Combine All the Other Steps in Complete Order
