[AdioBird52]

NEVER GIVE UP. Plus, you aren't that bad.

[MattC]

Are you trying to have fun skating? Or go pro?

-Matt

[mcwattersm]

It doesn't matter how good you are, as long as you are having fun.

[Dookie416]

you can boardslide and drop-in, you just have to try them. both are fairly simple, depending on how big the obstacle is.

[Mr.42]

You should never give up skating.

[China Skate]

Boardsliding and dropping in is all mental.

[skatticus]

you, shouldent quit, but get off your ass and go skate, you arent goin to learn much by reading trick tips, all they do is give you a basic idea,like footing,go out and practice, until you get perfection.and after its perfect, take it off the set.

[skatticus]

+if you thought it was the "GAYEST QUESTION EVER" you shuoldent of asked it+

[China Skate]

skatticus where you live in NY?

And what the hell is up with 'gay'? You kids obviously haven't been learning shit in school these days. And skatticus, you didnt' list anyhting about 'a basic idea,like footing', so please, don't bash on him.

[StevoElSupremo]

dont worry just go skate jeeze

[MattC]

And for extra self estiem bonus points.... for 8 months your ahead of the game!. Now go get that treflip.

[daltonlowes]

That's not bad for 1 1/2 months. You live in Niagara Falls? I was just there the other day. That's pretty close to here.

[China Skate]

pop38, I live right next to Niagra Falls, about a 10 min drive. Buffalo, New York. 14226. I always go to the City of Townawanda.

[Unknown Skater]

I need help on my boardslide as well. I get on the rail and everything but when I'm actually going down it, I fall off. I can't balance well enough. I practice my boardslides everyday, though. China Skater, you are a cool guy. Nice to meet you.

[daltonlowes]

ok, well if u can find a low rail thats even (not slanted) than just put ur board on there and hop on, dont actualy grind it, just stay stationary and practise your balance

[U-NO-ME]

Why is this a gay question????????

No you are not bad.

Don't give up.

[skatticus]

first of all, i was'nt bashing him, i was making it a point that he should go out and skate, and the reason i sed "all it does is help you with footing"is because it does, go look at a trick tip and tell me that every one doesnt...

[cwhits]

ur decent also, dropping in is all in the head if ur really scared ur proboly not gonna be able to do it too well but if u put ur fear behind u and do it chances are ull ride away clean just remeber slam down on front. boardslides are a little harder and im not too great the them so dont be bumed u cant do em, i can only do em on really low rails haha, neway just keep trying.

[Mr.42]

For dropping in...

step 1: put on some pads
step 2: drop in
step 3: if you fell in step 2, redo steps 2-3
step 4: congratulations

[Ree123]

I felt this way when i first came on this sight all i could do was varial and stuff
then i just started having funits alot easier that way

[airickq]

dude skating is fun once you get past a few tricks and get familiar, you dont even have to be able to varial, as long as you got a grin on your face after you pop and ollie or land that kickflip or finally land that 7 stair, it is definitley worth it

if you even think about quitting just watch some skate videos, Transworlds' First Love really kept me goin, its just a really powerful and different skate video

**** it all and keep skating bro

[Sk8tboarD]

if your having trouble having fun get an mp3 player and lisen to music while skating. Dont give up man!

[Ree123]

Hey rideme are you even looking at these tips?
You probably know your ok so why did you ask?

[Chris618]

no the gayest question ever would be "so is it my turn to get up the butt or yours?"








no??? fine then your not a bad skater, im worse than you are

[-0-RiOt]

i say give up if you're going to have that attitude i mean really 8 months and you got that down is not that bad some people are just faster or slower than others i've been going for about 4 and don't have anything like my popshuvs aregood on my carpet i can't land them moving just keep a good attitude and you're fine if you go pro and you suck then stop because then you're public and everyone knows you suck
