Tips On How To Start Skateboarding

    So, maybe you run to the Walmart, and pick up a brand new deck. Alright, that'll be fine for now. It's below standard but so far you don't know that. So you purchase the dang thing and maybe you rush home and decide to try it first thing, well if you stand on the board and you go flying, skateboarding might not be for you. Now, I'm not discouraging you, In fact go ahead and keep going at it. But most the time you have to start at an early age to get used to the balance. Sometimes your just born with this "Center" balance. but if you do fall off right away and are really stuggling to even just stand on a board, practice. That's all it is. Practice, dedication, alot of bandaids.
    Skateboarding is really diffucult, you need to predict and analyze, and re-do any actions you've made in skateboarding. To the moment you fall on your but and are getting back up, you gotta realize

1. What you did to fall down.
2. Your Always gonna get hurt skating

You also gotta realize the difference between what you want to acomplish, and what you can acomplish. If your skating your first day and decide, "Hey, I'm gunna tre-flip 22 stairs today!"
You might wanna think again. You might just wanna aim for something in your level. And only reaching out of your level if it''s reasonable.
    Skateboarding is mostly guess and do. You kinda gotta guess at everything your gonna do, everything you want to do. You can't spend your time measuring angles and figuring out the speed in which you must go. No, you just gotta do it.


Just do it

    Skating gets progressively easy once you start practicing. Some of you are riders, some of you are skaters. Riders will usually ride, no tricks. Probably own a longobard, and usually are just enjoying the speed. Skaters, are usually doing tricks and enjoying the creativity.
   

the most important thing in skating, is just to relax and have fun.

Skate Or Die: Article 01

    Your hearts beating faster and faster every second. Your heart is racing 50 miles ahead of you, in your mind your calling yourself an idiot. Finally, you lift your foot and start peddling. The wheels on your skateboard going faster and faster. Gaining speed, your body is getting closer and closer to the stair case up ahead of you. The small crowd of kids are cheering you on. Others, sneering. You prepare your feet for the position they need to be in. You prepare your body for the pain you might be in. Your prepare your brain for the impact you know might happen. Finally, you pop that tail and flick your foot out. The board slowly flips, as the board comes around, you try to grab it for a grind on the square rectangle of concrete connecting to the stairs. You miss and you fall down the stairs. Your come to a complete stop after hitting everything in your body down those steps. Should've worn a helmet, you keep thinking. You don't know if you really are dead or not. All you know, is that the pain hurts to much, all.....to.......much.
    Five years later your working construction(nothing wrong with that) But your finding that you are having trouble walking, and the people that own this business barely took you in for work. All the money you had, went into that accident at the stairs.
    This is their story, and why skateboarding is really a choice. And that choice is to
SKATE OR DIE?

    I was skateboarding in front of my house, when this guy working on construction for a new house asked me what kinda board I had. I, not wanting to be rude, said enjoi. He said, "Yeah, that's a good brand. I used to have some sorta old school board, with a panda with a knife on it. I think it might have been enjoi but i'm not quite sure. It was so long ago..." I looked at him and i asked "What do ya mean? You hurt yourself?" HE looked back and replied "Yeah, came up to heelflip and waked my shin so hard. Everytime I tried to skate afterward, just wasn't the same." I nodded and we slipped away knowing the conversation was over. It's funny, you have such high hopes for stuff like this and realize when you hear this that, you can get hurt twice as bad as that guy. Or maybe You are that guy that hurt yourself. This was a personal experience, but to keep this alive ill probably be looking for articles on stuff like this. It's so interesting.
