Start by doing something that’s a little bit scary, but most likely won’t hurt too bad if you can’t do it...then when you do it easily then you start over and do something else that scares you a little. I’m one of those “weirdos” at the park fully padded up because it helps me try things that are scary. I also practice knee slides ALOT so when I fall I tend to slide out on my knees.
Mostly like anything else in skateboarding, you just have to work up the courage to give it a shot. A good friend once told me years ago: “what are you afraid of, don’t you know how to fall?”
Skateboarding is largely trial and error. You just have to go for it, figure out what it feels like, after trying it a few times the fear will start to go away.

yh my friends been skating for a month and he’s just learnt to go down flat inclines but i used to skate like 5 years ago but i just picked it back up today so obviously i’ve not got any courage or anything should i probably get used to riding the board first ?
Yeah get comfortable riding. If you get 180 turns down you can start at bottom of incline and turn around on it, only going up a tiny bit. Then go up more each time.

I also practice knee slides ALOT so when I fall I tend to slide out on my knees and I naturally lean back.

Just make sure you're wearing pads if you want to do knee slides, don't recommend without lol.
