Skateboard Tips

In skateboard tips we are going to have a look at one particular skill, and that is how to build speed and gain momentum on a skateboard ramp.
An important point for this, please wear your helmet for it as there is a danger of alling back and cracking your head if you judge it wrong.

So here goes with these skateboard tips.OK, so as you are looking down the ramp, you have your back wheels over the edge of the coping and your back foot balanced on the tail of your board. You need to have your body leaning forward but not too far forward that you are going to tip right over. Also,if you do not lean forward enough you are going to fall back and take a nasty crack to the back of the head.

Now put your front foot over the front bolts, and with your back foot on the tail you just drop into the skateboard ramp. You must have your front foot over the front bolts, as if you have your front foot further back you are likely to fall back when you drop down the ramp.

So start with your weight on the tail, and then with your front foot ease down so that the board drops down the ramp. Lean forward,but not too much, and bend your knees some to gain momentum on the ramp.

You may come to grief a few times until you get the hang of how far you are leaning so again I cant stress the importance of wearing your helmet on this one.
Keep practicing this until it becomes second nature to you, and then once you have confidence you can build up your speeds more and more. Hope these skateboard tips will help you.
