4 Ways To Skateboard

There are 4 main ways that people skateboard here on our planet, so let us have a look at each of them in turn.

1. Street Skating. This is an extremely popular sporting activity, and has blossomed even more with the genre merging with hip hop culture and fashion, and taking on a whole new life.
Street skating can provide endless variations to express yourself and your personality, and can take in skating on to curbs, and up on to rails, ledges and benches, and many other stationary objects found on our streets.
The ollie is used prevalently in street skating.

2. Vert Skating. This involves skating on ramps and other vertical edifices, which have been designed for skating. Vert skating became popular in the 60`s in the California area, and empty pools were commonly used for this at first. Vert skating has taken many of the street skating moves and adapted them for its own use.

3. Half pipe skating. This is a U shaped ramp of really any size. Originally they were just half sections of a large pipe, but as this has evolved they now have an extended flat bottom to them which gives the skateboarder more time and space to develop tricks in.

4. Vert Ramp Skating. This is a half pipe with steep sides that are completely vertical at the top. They are normally around 10 to 14 feet in height. The sheer sides can give skaters a thrilling ride, and can send the board straight up into the air off the top of the vert ramp.
