Tony Hawk Quotes

“I won't quit skating until I am physically unable.” “I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport.” “I love the fact that there is now a skate park in almost every city, but it will always have a rebellious/underground edge to it because it is based on individuality.” “These sports are just -- you go do it, and you're doing it on your own. You don't have to answer to anyone.” “He is a sports superstar with his feet firmly planted in reality.” “That's awesome. Aside from being a really positive outlet for kids who are going to skate whether there's a park or not, it's a breeding ground. It helps our sport grow.”

Tips On Skateboarding #1

Ollie- Use your toes only, you'll get a little more pop then just using your foot. Slide your foot up slowly and quick at the same time, time it perfectly to even the board out in the air. The Better your timing is, the higher the pop.

Shuvit- Just put your toes at the end of the board, but angle them a little, and just pop to whatever side is most comfortable for you. You don't have to scoop to hard, because ts just a shuvit. Not a popshuvit.

PopShuvit- Same thing as above but scoop it up with your foot harder and make sure you hear that nice tap of you tail hitting the ground.

Kickflip- OK, i figured out you don't have to keep your leg extended at all for kickflips. My friend taught me to just pop it, flick it hard, move your foot out of the way and land. If you practice everyday you'll land it.Put your foot at a slight angle by the front two bolts when kickflipping.

HeelFlip- Same thing but with your heel, and you legs might be in the way so make sure to watch  your board, no matter how hard it is. Cause if you don't, you'll get corn dogged by your board easily.

Varials-Just relax, pop a little harder, but make it a pop shuvit to. But mostly watch the boards landing, you will land easily in primo style.

Tre-Flips-Put alot of pop on your spin, I MEAN ALOT and just relax and flip it.

Not from a proffesinal point of view, but there nice little tips.
