OMG no. Please - every beginner out there - learn to fall properly before putting on a board. If you are going for instruction, they should be teaching you this as well and if they do not, pipe up and ask.
DO NOT put your arms out to break your fall. It is a good way to instead break a wrist. If you catch a toe edge, belly flop/dive. If you catch your toe edge, roll on your shoulders/upper back (try to tuck your head in a little too). It is a good idea too to disengage the edge and then gently re-engage as you are sliding to slow and stop.
- searine 5y ago>learn to fall properly Falling isn't a polite request by gravity. Telling someone to "fall properly" is empty advice. Falls happen too fast as a beginner for them to take actions to lessen a blow. Wear protective gear. Take it slow. Expect to fall, and expect it to hurt.
- zackbloom 5y agoWhen they say to tuck your head, tuck your head to the side so you roll over your shoulder. Don't just tuck forward so you roll over your neck. Think of it as putting one of your ears on the same shoulder.
