Tryna learn to skate. Literally just picked up the board today. Any tips for positioning n shit or stabilizing.

Learn to fall, its not a tip in itself. But learn to "absorb" the impact of the fall.
search on internet tbh, it will save u a lot of injuries jfl

Appreciate it, I already got a small graze on my shoulder from today but that's fine because it's bound to happen. Do you gotta wear certain shoes n shit or just through on whatever?

Not necessarily, I recommend always wearing pants. And sneakers like All Stars (skater sneakers arent just for fashion, the grip on the skateboard is better.)

In short, its more abt learning how to fall, so u dont twist ur wrist or break ur arm or something like that. Dont underestimate this, its very successful.
And u'll probably spend more time practicing falling off the skate than on it, but I still recommend it. Learning how to fall will get rid of one fear, and after that, u can just practice more and more.
