I can't turn on a skateboard?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
Ok so I'm just learning to skate, and people say the way you turn on a skateboard is lean front/back and put weight on your toe/heel depending on the direction you are turning, well I tried it and the skateboard didn't even turn at all.... I'm not sure why but when I do it the skateboard just stays in the same direction and doesn't turn at all. I did exactly what the tutorial said..I see people can turn very easily but for me I just can't.... this is getting so annoying.. Why can't I turn? how can I make it turn? Thank you very much.

First try to lean harder with your feet. If there's still no luck, take a skate tool and loosen up your trucks. It will be a little harder for you to balance when you loosen the trucks but easier to turn.

But left foot near the middle, your right foot and the back (nose) put all your most of your weight on the back foot and just shift your body, you may need to loosen trucks

Keep practicing and loosen up your trucks abit more. You can try putting your back foot on the tail and then softly press down and turn.

Lean on your toes , and Lean on your heels . Maybe your trucks are tight . Loosen them up .
