Having Fun Skateboarding

Here are my top 5 tips for having fun skateboarding. If you cant have fun skateboarding, you aint never gonna have any fun mon brave!! So here goes, lets see if I can give you a push in the right direction.

1. Let yourself go when you are skateboarding, have a blow out and a wild time. Put a smile on your face, rock and roll down that hill and give it everything you have got.
Dont think too much about it, just do it without any inhibitions and put yourself in the zone where the rest of your life cant touch you. I hope I am not gettin too hippy on you here!

2. This is the boring bit, but to have fun you have to wear a helmet. Yeah, but it isnt cool to end up on a life support machine with a brain that doesnt function proper cos you were too dumb to wear a helmet.

3. Get the basics down pat, so then you can improvise on the top of your good technique. Technique is vitally important, but once you have learnt the basic manoeuvres then you can really have fun.

4. Be creative, try out new moves. Try to think of a signature move that no one you know does. Push yourself to try out diferent things with your skateboard. Skateboarding can be an art form in the right hands.

5. Be sociable, get out with your mates when you are skateboarding and share the fun around. When you look back on your life you will find that all the best times you had, all the really great times you had, were when you shared things with other people, experiences and tribulations too.

So there we are, my guide to having fun skateboarding. Yeah a lot of it is tongue in cheek but there is a little bit of wisdom I like to think in there too.
