Hello and welecome to... eh... "Tugg's longboard school".
Today we're going to learn how to ride a longboard.
That's a... Eh... Lost art. It's not as easy as you might think.
It's a bit like playing the bass. Or drums, if you've seen in my previous video "Tugg's drum school".
And golf!
KruLLo: -Let's go directly to the first "trick".
The first trick is to fetch your longboard if you've lost it.
Okay, now when you got your board, the most important thing is your helmet.
We begin with putting down the board on a flat surface, so it stays put.
-Like it does here.
Put on the helmet. And sunglasses if you're cool.
- I am, ofcourse.
And let's fasten the helmet, like this.
The strap should be a little loose, because it's cool.
Now we're going to stand on the board. The easiest way is to place your foot like this.
Wow, it rolls. Now we know that it rolls. If it didn't, we would've fallen.
Okay, first foot here, and the other one right here. Now the board starts to move, and that can make you fall.
-Much like this.
Back to lesson #1, fetch the board.
Lesson #2: To push. Now it's getting harder.
We're going to learn how to push like this.
I kick the ball with my right foot so I'll also push with my right while on my board.
I place the ball here, or so you think. It's actually the foot.
Let's test the rolling ability again. It feels alright.
Lesson #2b: The real push.
Point the camera a bit down. Let's see... The board feels good. Now we do our first push!
If you want to push a bit more... There!
There you saw how to catch the board if you've fallen off.
While we're sitting here: Lesson #3.
Take off your glasses, because this is serious business. Now you're going to learn how to make turns.
-I put my glasses there.
You have your board, and you have fallen off.
-What do you do? You make turns.
The board got something called "trucks". They can wiggle, back and forth. It sounds a bit like when you're in the bed...
Stand on the board, Lesson #2 that is.
Do like me. It feels wierd, but it's perfectly normal.
To make a right turn, you stand on your toes.
...and to make a left turn, you stand on your heels.
KruLLo: -But to make a turn you're also going to need... -Speed!
Now I'm not making turns at all. I just rock.
-To make turns you'll need to go back to lesson #2 and 2b. So you know that you have to push.
KruLLo: -Mr. Tugg are now going to show you how to make a left turn. -Let's go!
KruLLo: Right turn! -Let's go!
Now you know how to ride a longboard.
My leg, god damnit!
Turn off the camera!
That's how you fall in style.
-Look at that! A guy!
KruLLo: -So what do you think about it?
-Well, now we have been longboarding, then.
...and we've learnt how to cry when you fall, that's it.
Yep.
Eh... well... Good bye!
No..? Yes..�
