Learn To Skateboard Online – Basic Tricks

Posted on February 15, 2010 by admin

In this post I want to show you some basic tricks so you can learn to skateboard online.

Ollie - At the beginning of training while standing. To do ollie as high as possible you have to put the front leg more or less in the middle of the board and the rear on the tail. Then press firmly on the tail, and direct the board by the front foot  so that the tail and nose of the board were on one level. While jumping bend legs!

Ollie Backside – You do everything like ollie, but after hitting the front you are turning the tail with back leg.

Fingerflip – This trick is easier when you stand in the place on tail (so that the nose is up). You have to grasp the nose with fingers and firmly rotate the board with fingers while jumping about 360 ‘around its axis.  The nose is the best to catch so that on the top of the board is the thumb and the other fingers are underneath the board.

Kickflip – We put the fingers of the front leg on the inside of the board before the screws. We do everything like with ollie except that the front foot goes diagonally through the board so that the leg should be coming down from the board at the beginning of the nose – and the board should rotate through 360 ‘around its axis. Then of course we land.

If you seriously want to learn to skateboard you should also watch those videos:

These are the tricks you should learn at the beginning of your career. If you learn to skateboard online you should also consider watching some more videos from YouTube. Learn to skateboard wisely!

Learn To Skateboarding – The Most Common Mistakes

Posted on February 2, 2010 by admin

I have decided to write an article about the most common mistakes people made when they learn to skateboarding. If you want learn how to skateboarding then read carefully.

1. Body Balance – Many people do not learn the right way of balancing the body, it is very necessary when you learn a trick .

2. Learning tricks while standing – Some people do not recognize this as a mistake, but for me, this is simply a waste of time. When you learn something while standing, and then try to use it while riding, then you will know that these are two different stories.

3. Too little speed – When you are going too slowly, it is like learning tricks while standing. It is easier for me to be doing trick with medium speed.

4. Bad shoes – I thought that I add this point, because I saw the kid ride with galoshes …

5. Fear of landing – Most of us are afraid of landing, but If you want learn to skateboarding like a pro you have to overcome it. I had the biggest problem with jumping down stairs but when I did it, it proved to be very easy.

6. Too little time devoted to the trick – I have heard many times things such as “I can’t do a kickflip, I practice for 2 days” … Devote some time for new evolution, not just a few days.

7. Bad order to learn skateboard tricks – Do not learn kickflip right away, start with something simpler, I learn to skateboard in that order: “ollie, shuv-it, pop-shuvit, kicflip etc. etc.

8. Putting your legs higher – Here is my little advice on how to make evolution. Pull the legs, preferably to the chest, it makes it easier to land, because we know when to put feet on the board, and the trick will be much higher.

9. For the first time – When you try to do a trick, remember that you do not have to do it right away. Land few times next to the board, and when you feel comfortable, then you’re ready to do the trick.

10. Bending legs – After each evolution, ALWAYS bend legs in the knees, unless you like to falll;)

Those were the mistakes I found most common when people learn how to skateboard. Try to avoid them.

Learn To Skateboard – How To Start?

Posted on February 2, 2010 by admin

Do you want learn to skateboard? Well it is not the easiest thing. If you need to learn to skateboarding prepare for some hard work. So before you start doing any tricks on skateboard try to make each of the thing listed below:

1. Riding slow on skateboard
2. Turning by raising the front of the board
-  Ride a Circle
-  Ride ‘Eights’
3. Learn how to fall down
4. Ride with a medium speed

1. Riding slow on skateboard

For a complete beginner , even such a simple thing is not easy. Begin with holding something and familiarizing yourself with the fact that the skateboard moves forward and backward. Then we can do the same thing without holding on. When you have no problem with it, stand on the board with one leg and begin  pushing off the ground with the second leg, so that the skateboard moved forward. Don’t try to do something fancy, when you learn to skateboard because you will fall;)

2. Turning by raising the front of the board

Usually, people who want learn to ride skateboard, have no problem with that so I will not elaborate on specifically how to do it. Just move your body weight back on board (but not too hard!) and by the gentle rotation of the leg you turn where you want.

Circle is best performed in 6 steps (6 times raise the front cover and gently rotate).

Eight can also be done safely in 6 steps (after 3 times per part).

3. Learn how to fall down

Falling is always unpleasant and painful but it adds some risk to skateboarding. After several years of skateboarding every true skateboarder can boast at least one powerful fall. Well but let’s get to the point … how to fall down to do the least harm to ourselves? In most situations, it is quite simple.

Worst thing you can do is to put your hand in front of you and stop yourself falling with them. You have to fall on the left or right side of your body. It is the most safe way to fall. Remember this if you want learn to skateboarding and be alive at the end;)

4. Riding with medium speed

You just have to overcome your fear and train. It may appear overwhelming at the beginning, but it isn’t so hard.

Those were the first steps you need to take to learn to skateboard. I hope that my skateboard tips will help you develop some skills.
