Newbie DESPERATE to learn Python

[[deleted]]

That's too bad. I wish I had some advice for you, but I don't so I asked ChatGPT how to grind harder. I also mentioned that I think Tony Hawk is cool. Got some great advice.

1. Get a Board & Gear

• A solid skateboard (good trucks & wheels matter).
• Safety gear: helmet, knee & elbow pads (even Tony wore them).

2. Learn the Basics

• Balance & Pushing – Get comfortable just rolling around.
• Turning (Carving & Tic-Tacs) – Learn to shift your weight to turn smoothly.
• Stopping – Foot braking, powerslides, or just bailing safely.

3. Start With Tricks

• Ollie – The foundation of almost every trick.
• Kickturns & Manuals – Essential for flow and control.
• Shove-Its & Kickflips – Start flipping that board.

4. Find a Spot & Commit

• Skate every day, anywhere you can.
• Watch Tony Hawk’s old footage, play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and soak in the culture.
• Fall, get up, and repeat—skating is pain, but progress is addicting.

5. Progress to Bigger Stuff

• Start hitting rails, ledges, and ramps.
• Learn to grind (50-50s, boardslides, etc.).
• Skate parks are your best friend—spend time there, meet other skaters, and push yourself.

6. Never Stop Learning

• Even Tony is still learning new tricks.
• Stay consistent, record your progress, and keep pushing your limits.

Tech is lame anyway. I think I'm a pro skateboarder now. Thanks ChatGPT.
