all new skaters look here

[mad man skate]

i fell id tell you what i wish i had done when i started skating. DONT choses to skate regular or goofy. skate both. pick a dominant way but learn how to do tricks swich and regular. also if you are learning how to ollie get or build a real low FLAT rail (even a waked 2x4 works for boardslides) that you can learn you boardslides on. also find a stair and practice nose stalls on it. this will make you better at ollieng. if you do it this way yo will be able to baordslide nose stall (wich is the first step to learning to nose slide) and you will be able to ollie

[AIRZ1]

Good idea mad man. I never tried that i just learnt loads of tricks and then tried to learn them switch.

[Flip Boy]

same too hard learning altogether

[mad man skate]

ya i was thinking that im like damn i wish i would have learned how to do evrything switch because now i have a habbit of doing evrything regular and its hard to learn to ollie swich so learn both ways at the same time

[Ramprage]

Yup mad man is right, I've been playing around with switch and it makes my boarding much better. I can switch pop shuvit, kickflip, varial kickflip when I'm lucky and ollie pretty damn high.

Also practise fakie and nollie tricks ;)

[mad man skate]

so if you are new to skating do ur tricks both ways (that was not intended to sound gay)

[The Turtle]

I kinda learned it that way, so now I can do most of my tricks nollie, fakie, and switch.:)

[DarkHawk2-2]

i skated both since the beginning. im mongo so its real ez.

[mad man skate]

u skate mongo thats cool i think mongo is easier. i mean you have more controll over your board and i probrably skate mongo because it is almost like running or riding a bike that way because your legs cross and i have been bmxing longer than sk8n

[nighteyes]

i need some help here. i dont know much about boarding cause i just started and i cant tell what people are talking about. iv also never seen any tricks done so i dont know what they're supposed to look like. i just learned to ride my board and iv been practicing ollies in the grass. but still...

[evilcheese00]

[robiskewl]
