Ailene Bruce Aurora – Wanna Skate

Obviously for all beginners everyone wants to know all the first steps. First of all you gotta know all the parts of the skateboard – thats the tail and thats the nose. It doesnt really matter which way it is. Flip the board over and you have four wheels – one right there – there – there – and there. There are two bolts to hold the wheels together – one on the left and one on the right. And there you have your skateboard.

To get on a board, place the board in front of you and step on the bolts where the wheels are. Then you put your other foot on the middle of the board and then adjust your feet so you can balance.

Okay Bruce show me what I just did.

Very good.

To get off the board you lean to the tail and you take your foot off.

Move back and get off.

Once your ready to move on a board you have to first of all put your foot in the middle of the board. And use your other leg to push off. Once you’re on your board adjust your body for balance. Now your ready – lets go skate.

So Im here today with ……
What’s up? Who is gonna help me with all the skateboard trick and all the basics so you need to learn.

Basics, Basics, Basics Basics.

Gonna help you out – learn to skateboard – cruise around – and basically become a better person and I know he’s an idiot.

Welcome to Skateboarding. That was …..

The Ollie – first stand on the board in a comfy position where one foot is on the tail and the other is somewhere in the middle for balance. Once you are ready you pop the board with the foot that’s on the tail. And the other foot swipes up. Pop and swipe. The reason for the swipe is so that the board balances out in the air for perfect landing.

The manual – this trick also includes standing in a position that you are comfortable with balance. You start out pumping some speed up for the board to go a longer distance. Once you are ready lift the nose up a bit and balance on the back wheels. Once you have mastered it – then you can manual off anything.

The casper – first step stand on the bottom of the board facing up – one foot on either the nose or the tail of the board. And the other foot underneath for the ability to flip the board back on to its wheels. You can either do this on a …… basis or you can 90, 180 or 360 it.

The flamingo – stand on the tail of the board on the side so once you pop the board up – it goes sideways. Then the other foot that’s on the middle curves to the back of the board to capture it in between your legs. Once you got it let the board go and land on it.

The pogo – you pop the board up and catch the nose with your hand so that you can hold the board up – then the other hand you can hold the other tracks thats close to you. Then take your foot and place it on the other truck and put all your weight onto it. Then bounce.

The hand-stand – first practise with a normal hand stand and mark it and mark a spot on the ground where your feet should land on the board. When that’s done – try it on a skateboard. And if that’s down. You can try other things on with the handstand.
