If you want to know how to do skateboarding tricks then step right this way and we will give you a few tips on how you can become an expert skateboarding trickster!
OK, well if you are just starting out skateboarding the key is not to get too far ahead of yourself. You have got to learn the basics first, and have them so they feel like second nature to you, before you attempt any intricate tricks.
Skateboarding is a discipline that you have to learn, you gotta get your technique nice and tight so that you are in control of the board at all times. The board should almost feel like an extension of your feet,and of course this does take time.
So you have to put some hours in to get into that zone where your body and your wheels are working in perfect co-ordination. Then you look at how to do skateboarding tricks.
Starting from scratch, work on getting your balance on the board. Stand on the stationary board and see how long you can keep your balance. Then push off with you back foot and step on and see how far you can roll along before you come off.
Practice jumping on the board and keeping your balance. Keep pushing your board to go a little faster each time, as you will find you can often keep your balance better the faster you are moving.
Try different positions on the board and see which feels the easiest for you. Bend your knees and your body forward to help with your balance and increase the speed.
Then try to slant your body and feet to one edge so as to curve your skateboard.
When you get down to how to do skateboarding tricks the first one you should learn is the ollie as this is the basis for many skateboarding tricks. This involves flipping the skateboard up from the back and jumping up and controlling the front with the other foot.

Skateboard Ramp Tricks
In skateboard ramp tricks we are gonna look at the blunt to fakie trick. This may not mean a lot to you at this precise moment, but stick with me kid and I will fill in all the gaps for you.
The blunt to fakie skateboard ramp trick is when you go up the ramp until both your back wheels come over the rim of the ramp. It looks like you are going to come right over and off the ramp as you have hit the top of the ramp straight on with your skateboard, but instead you are going to come back down.
With this trick you need to have the ball of your back foot in the middle of the boards tail as your back wheels go over the top of the ramp, and you need to push forward on your front foot near the front of the board. This will give you some momentum and you can push back in with the ball of your foot on the tail, and so this will enable you to pop back in.
You give it a kind of bounce at the top of the ramp as you are just going to go right over the ramp, and that push back on the tail with your back foot helps you pop up so you can slide backwards down the ramp.
You have to make sure you hit the top of the ramp with your wheels straight upwards, otherwise this will not work and you will probably come to grief and fall.
You need quite a bit of momentum for this trick to succeed as both front and back wheels have to make themselves clear of the top of the ramp.

Skateboarding Safely
OK, let us have a look at skateboarding safely. Dont get the wrong impression that this entails crawling along on your skateboard at 2 miles per hour in a crouched position!
No skateboarding safely is just taking all the steps you can while you are skating to prevent serious injury. Nobody is telling you not to do wild tricks and moves.
So once you have your safety gear, helmet buckled up (essential), knee pads and wrist braces (essential when doing ramps or verts), elbow pads (non-essential but a broken elbow is a particularly sore injury which takes a long time to heal), and cups (now this is a particularly sore, painful injury!), you then want to look at how you are skating, to prevent injury, and to be skateboarding safely as much as poss.
When you fall off your skateboard, which trust me will be frequently, it is important not to try to break your fall by throwing your hands out, as all this will do will damage your hands, arms and wrists. So what you need to try to do is to turn your shoulder and roll it as you hit the ground. Your shoulder is one of the fleshiest parts of your body and will take impact better than most other parts, as long as you dont stiffen up as you are hitting the floor, but rolling with the shoulder so that the impact is minimal.
Look around you before and during skating, are there any obstacles, both moving and stationary, that you may hit on your travels. Find a safe environment to skate in.
Do not run before you can walk. Start with simple moves, go on to the most basic tricks, and build yourself up to the most inventive and wilder tricks. They will come in time, but if you injure yourself badly through trying things too early it could shatter your confidence, as well as your bones!!

Skateboard Safety
Skateboard safety may not be the most exciting subject to look at in the skateboard field, but it is the darn most important.
I know a lot of skateboarders get into the sport cos its extreme and wild, it gives you an adrenaline kick like no other and it gives you complete freedom when you are out there on the board.
But skateboard safety is mega important exactly for this reason. Skateboarding gives you that adrenaline rush as you can be right on the edge at times, and it is because you are right on the edge that you at great risk of seriosly hurting yourself.
And some injuries you just do not recover from, like a sickening crack to the back of your head.
You can still feel free and wild and uninhibited while following simple safety procedures. It really is the dumbest thing not to.
Skateboarders are on concrete most of the time, and that stuff does not give an inch when you hit it! Also you are leaving terra firma quite a bit of the time, and if you dont land right then man it hurts.
So please follow some simple skateboard safety rules to keep yourself fit and healthy and in top notch form.
First and foremost, wear a helmet and buckle it too. It aint no use if you go flying through the air and your helmet flies off in an alternative direction!
Also, wrist braces will stop you breaking your wrist or arm when you fall and put your hands out. A little note here, when you fall try to turn your body and roll over on your shoulder instead of throwing your arms out and making a mess of them.
Wear knee pads, especially when you are ramp or vert skating.
Elbow pads ditto.
And then there is the cup! It may not seem cool, but nobody knows its there, and if you do want babies in later life I figure its a good idea! Also guys, the pain really is intense down there when you get caught, I am sure I dont really need to tell you that.
So there we are with skateboard safety. When you get all your gear, and you want to be a top skateboarder in the quickest possible time, take a look at the best guide on the net by clicking on Skate Secrets

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.

Skateboard Skills
Looking to brush up on your skateboard skills hombre? Let us have a look at how to do real neat sharp turns on your skateboard. We will soon have you skating like a pro!
OK, this is good tuition on how to make those sharp turns, but remember you gotta practice and practice them cos there is no such thing as a free lunch, and all the people who look like a natural to you on their board had to go through the same learning process. They fell off and stumbled and looked useless at one point, and they would have felt like giving up a few times I am sure, but the thing is they didnt, and thats the difference between a good skater with top skateboard skills and a bad one.
Right, so when you push off you have your front foot over the front part of your bolts, and you will have your back foot towards the back wheel of the board. To build up some pace you need to push off a couple of times real hard and try to gather some momentum, and then you put your foot under the tail, twist your shoulders around in the direction you wish to turn, and the rest of your upper body will follow, causing you to make that sharp turn.
So to conclude, you apply pressure with your back foot as you throw your shoulder to make a sharp turn. Trust me you will probably have a few accidents with this as we all do, but you will get the hang of it pretty quickly.

Skateboard Decks
Skateboard decks are an extension of your personality, and it is important you start out with the right one from the get go for yourself.
First up, if you are a newbie, lets look at the width of the board. You want to have a board that is quite wide without too much curvature, as these sort of skateboard decks will give you more stability than a narrow one. One plus about a wide deck is that you can carve a whole lot easier on it.
With a narrower deck you will find it easier to do fliptricks and to ollie, as it stands to reason that a lighter deck will afford you to flip it and spin it better.
You have more control and options with what you can do with the deck but you do not have the same stability that a wider deck will give you, so start with a wider deck and progress to a narrower one when your skateboarding skills mean you have grown out of your first deck.
Deck sizes go from 7.0 up to 10.0 normally so there is quite a big difference between the smaller and the larger decks.
You also need some good quality grip tape to grip the skateboard decks up so you are not skidding around on the deck. Most decks will come with some free grip tape but if it doesnt ask them to throw some in for free!! It pays to be cheeky doncha know!!
There are differences in the ply depth of skateboard decks too. Again the more ply, in other words layers of compressed ply, in the skateboard, the thicker and heavier it will be.
If you are a newbie I would suggest that you go for a relatively heavy deck as this will also give you more stability.

Skateboard Clothing
Skateboard clothing has had a massive influence on streetwear all over the world. It is impossible to deny that this is the case when you go down any city street and look at what the kids are wearing.
I live in England in the UK and most kids now dress in a hip hop skateboard style, and the trend is here to stay as this has been the look, more or less, for many years now.
Hoodies are de rigour wherever you go now, and skateboard clothing has fused with hip hop and streetwear to rule the clothing market.
Beanie hats and caps are everywhere, along with baggy jeans and skate trainers. Baggy jeans developed from skateboarding as the extra room in the jeans makes it easier to move and be flexible in them when you are on the board.
All the colours and graffiti style designs on the t-shirts and tops that are around have been derived from the skateboard scene. Now skateboard culture borrows from hip hop culture, and hip hop culture borrows from skateboard culture, so that both groups are pretty inter-changeable now.
So why has the skateboard clothing influence been so strong on streetwear?
I think it is simply because of two factors.
1. The style of clothes are so damn comfortable and easy to wear that people wear them and become hooked on the style, and wearing anything else just doesnt feel as good.
2. They really are a very cool line of clothing!! Hoodies, trainers, baggy jeans, graffiti style tops and great colours make the look pretty unbeatable.

Skateboarding Tricks
Skateboarding tricks can generally be broken up into 5 separate groupings, and this is what we are going to mosey on down to take a gander at here.
OK here are the 5 main groupings, in no particular order mind.
1. Fliptricks. These are all based around the ollie and comprise of various types of aerial flips without using your hands. The feet remain on the board throughout the trick. Some fliptricks include a fakie ollie, an ollie 180, the kickflip, the heelflip, and the hardflpi etc. In many fliptricks the board is flipped upside down.
2. Freestyle tricks. Freestyle skateboarding tricks involve balancing on either one wheel or two, and sometimes just the front or back of the board, or even the edges. Freestyle has been popular for many years as it is a great way to improvise and have fun on the board, and you can get in to some cool flips.
3. Aerials. Similar to the fliptricks, and as the name implies they are tricks involving flipping your skateboard into the air, but with an aerial trick you use your hand or hands to control the board.
4. Slides and grinds. These skateboarding tricks involve the use of a rail or ledge that the skateboard slides or grinds along. The skateboarder jumps onto the rail or ledge with his board and either slides along it with the edge of the board, or grinds along it with the truck. You dont have to use just rails or ledges either, you can use whatever you got available and improvise, such as with the edges of pavements or pools. The great thing about skateboarding as far as I see it is we can all improvise and use our own imagination.
5. Liptricks. These are mainly done on a skateboard ramp. Half pipes, quarter pipes and mini ramps are all used for liptricks, which again as the name implies uses the lip of the ramp to perform various tricks, such as axle stalls, bean plants, boardstalls and inverts etc.

Skateboard Stance
This blog I am going to look at things to know when you are starting out skateboarding. First things first you need to find out what is the best and natural skateboard stance for you.
OK, there are two basic skateboard stances, and these are the regular stance and the goofy stance, I kid you not!
With the regular stance you stand with your left foot forward to the front of the skateboard ( the front of the skateboard being where the board curves slightly upwards ), with the right foot at the back, and with the goofy stance, well go figure, you stand with your right foot forward to the front of the skateboard, and your left foot to the back.
Huh? So how do you know which one is the right way for you?
OK well as you can probably guess with a name like regular skateboard stance, this is the more common stance, and this is the one that right footed people use.
How can you tell if you are right or left footed? S`easy, get someone to throw a ball at your feet. Which foot does it feel natural to stop and control the ball and to kick it back with? If it`s your right foot then you are right footed.
There are a lot more right footed people in the world than left footed, but if you are left footed like me then you will favour the goofy skateboard stance.
So why go this way if you are left footed and vice versa? Well basically you will feel more comfortable in the goofy stance if you are left footed, it will just feel right, and don`t let anyone tell you that it ain`t right cos it is for you!
You want your controlling foot, the one you kick with, at the back of the skateboard as you control the board in the main with your back foot.
Of course you can be a really cool cat who feels just as comfortable in the goofy as the regular stance, and can switch from one to the other with ease. In that case you do as you please! Hey lets face it you can always do as you please, don`t ever forget that.

If you are the type of person who likes to push mongo or ride goofy we got it all down here.
And the more input I get from anyone of you people out there who love skateboarding the better.
I am going to pack this blog with tips on various moves, write out beginners guides, give info on the latest trends and fads. There will be info on gear to buy, where to get the coolest boards etc.
So I hope you find us, stick with us and enjoy the ride. I will make this as fun and smiley as possible, as life sucks if you can`t let yourself go and enjoy it.
For all who love to get out and express themselves by skateboarding, I will see you soon.
