How to: Skateboard Tricks - 3 Quick and Easy Tips To Learn Skateboard Tricks Fast

By Matt Markle

Learning cool and fun skateboarding tricks is fun and a great way to impress your fun. Their is nothing more satisfying than nailing a new trick consistently. Here are three easy tips that will make learning new tricks easy.

#1. Make sure you have the right equipment. You don't need the most expensive equipment on the market... Good equipment does just fine, especially if you are a beginner.

If you are a beginner you will need a decent board with good grip tape on the deck, a pair of flat, tread free skating shoes, and a small ramp. I also recommend a helmet and pads, because you will fall when you are learning new tricks.

#2. Take time to practice. Everybody gets into skating wanting to skate like Tony Hawk, but that takes a lot of time on your board. To get good you don't have to practice for eight hours every day, but you do need to practice consistently. An hour a day should get you good really fast.

#3. Learn from someone who understands what they are doing. Sure, you can learn the basics from your friends, but if you want to learn how to be a really great skateboarder you better learn from someone who not only knows what they are doing but knows how to teach.

You can do this in several different ways. You can learn in person with private lessons, at a camp, or clinic. This is an ideal way to learn, but can get quite expensive.

Almost as good as (and much cheaper) is following a skating guide that is written by an expert. You will want a guide that is clear, easy to follow, and written by someone who knows how to teach skating.

Follow these tips and you will be impressing your friends with awesome skateboard tricks in no time flat. - 16887
