Hi,
I'm new to skateboarding, and I'd like to have some tips. I know the basics of skating, what it means to skate "normal" or "goofy", how to turn and I'm working on the Ollie. But, I need help perfecting it. I'm nervous when trying to jump with the Ollie, and I'm still having trouble steering (a little bit). I can jump off my board, turn a 180 and land (I forgot what that's called), too. What would be a good next trick to learn, and how can I master the basic Ollie, and just skating around?
Thanks! (link)

Well.. I should be able to help. Um when doing a "ollie" you want to square your back foot on the tail and your front foot at a very small angel about a inch below the front bolts. This gives you control over the board, When doing the trick snap down on the tail as hard as you can and at the same time slide your front foot up toward the nose Right when you get to the end of the nose bring your knees up to increase the height of your ollie then level it out and land on the bolts so that you dont break your board. You shouldnt be nervous trying to land it because your not that high off the ground and the only bad thing that can really happen is maybe missing the board or landing and the board shooting out but thats not that bad if you catch yourself. And jumping "off" your board and turning 180 is called a "Body Varial" If the board is rotating the opposite way of your body it is called a "Sex change". Um the nexy good trick and basic TRICKS not just trick to learn would be Kickflip, Heelflip, Popshovit, Fakie, Fakie kickflip, Fakie heelfip, Fakie shovits, And 180's front and backside. I hope i helped you out a little bit..

I skateboard, and my friend wants to learn.. So.. what is the best kind of skateboard for a beginner?? (link)
| |
Haha wow. If you ask me i think some of the people on this question are just trying to run you out of money. bones barrings and spitfire wheels thats expensive equipment my recommendation would be to get them a cheap wal-mart/k-mart/dolor store brand board. Not anything pro. Because it would be pointless to buy a board that is concave and has alot of pop with no skill and no need for eather of those.

did you ever get an account at friendster or youtube and then one day you get some email from them saying that some random person has talked to you and wanted to share videos with you? whats that about (link)
| |
No the 1st person who answered this question is wrong. It is not a reminder E-Mail it just means that some other member on Youtube wants to be added as one of your friends and wants to Share his/her videos with you. Like you just show each other new vids and stuff. Understand?.. Hope i helped lol

Ok just suddenly i developed a taste for skateboarding. i dunno i think its fun and cool but the problem is i cant skateboard at all. i can barely keep my balance and barely ride it. i was wondering if theres a site that can teach u everything or the basics or REALLY basic ones like positions,riding,stopping, and stuff. and one more thing, is it possible to accomplish somethin by not thinking about something bad thats gonna happen like for example since im learning how to ride a skateboard and when i think i am gonna fall off i do but when i do think of myself just glideing for a few seconds, it happens! heh im starting to get more active now the next thing i wanna do is develop my own fighting style and learn how to do flips and run up walls and jump gaps. and to let you know i sort of started acting like this when i saw this video on youtube. showed people doing kool flips and stuff and i sort of spoke to myself that im gonna train hard and be like them. well srry for makin u read all this ^_^'' just wanted i dunno just say it.

Okay.. I am a skateboarder so i should be able to help. Um there is a really good training (Trick tip) video i know about and it probably costs a bit of money. But you can also go onto this website called (www.youtube.com) and type in "Tony Hawks Trick tips volume 1.. It should teach you all the basics about stance (Regular, Goofy, Switch, Nollie, And fakie) and it should teach you all the proper basics of turning stopping pushing and riding. I hope i helped you out a bit.
