Tricks On Skatebords

OK, tricks on skateboards, let us look at how to do an ollie while moving, as opposed to doing an ollie while stationary----obviously!!

So your front foot should be around about in the middle of the board, and your back foot on the tail of your board. You push off with your back foot and then put your back foot on the tail, and push down on the tail with your back foot so the front pops up, and you slide your front foot forward, wait for the skateboard to even out in the air, and then you can drop the skateboard back down. The toes of your front foot should be over the front bolts when you are doing this, so that you can control the skateboard with that front foot.

You basically control the overall movement of the board with that front foot of yours, and to do that when you are pressing down on the board with your front foot to bring the board back down, you need to bend your knee forward, and also your body slightly forward, so that your weight is bearing down on that front foot.

The more you practice the better you will get at this, just like any other tricks on skateboards. The better you get, the more momentum you can carry into the moving ollie by pushing off harder, and then you can press harder onto the tail and get a higher jump on your skateboard.

It is not much harder than a stationary ollie, but you must take a little more care with your balance. Get your technique right, make sure your stance and positioning are perfect when you attempt this, and you will find it a whole lot easier.
Tricks on skateboards are always great fun, and as the ollie is the basis for many, many tricks, if you perfect this you will be really up and running.

Skateboarding For Fun

Thats right, skateboarding for fun! This is the reason I took up skateboarding myself, well, that and the chance to get to know some chicks, and I guess that comes under the fun umbrella too!!

You gotta enjoy yourself on a skateboard, otherwise there aint much point doing it in the first place.
So how do we make skateboarding a fun activity? Well there a few things you can do to get to this unadulterated place of joy.

Firstly, get out there with a smile on your face, and do not take yourself too seriously. Let your inhibitions run free, which you may think is a good one coming from an Englishman, but there we go.

Do not get frustrated when you fall off your board, or think that you have lost your dignity. Who cares? Just get back on your horse and start again. We have all fallen off many, many times, we have all screwed up badly, it comes with the territory and how you learn to get better unfortunately.

Skateboarding for fun can be achieved by not taking on things you have no chance of succeeding in. Build up your technique and skateboard craft first, get to know how to balance on the board, and get your posture and feet right before anything else.
That way once you start to move onto the Ollie etc, they will seem easier to learn, and you can enjoy your learning curve more.

If you are trying to learn a new technique, and cant get it right and you are getting more and more frustrated, knock it on the head for a while and try something else. Go back to it when you feel fresher and more up for it.
Be creative and original once you have learnt the basics, let yourself go and enjoy yourself.
Sometimes when you are in the middle of something you forget that you started skateboarding for fun in the first place. You maybe need to take a step back and clear your head to put a grin back on your visage.
