I
was 7 when I first learn how to skate. I started roller blades but then I
realize that I also love Skateboarding. I have Roller blades, Skateboards with
different setups and Long boards.
Skateboarding
is a physical and mental involvement. You need time and practice for you to
perform even the basic trick Ollie.
There
are two types of skateboarding first is flatland skateboarding. What is a
flatland skateboarding? It is a type of skateboarding that is in “flat land” which
means that all tricks that will be performed in flat and plane land. Second
type of skateboarding is street skateboarding. What is street skateboarding? This
one is more physical to flatland skateboarding because in the name “street”
which means that all tricks will be landed anywhere. Ramps are involves in this
type of skateboarding.
I
started skateboarding when I was at the age of ten. My first skateboarding was
very intense but also excited to be strong and popular skateboarder like the
others. I wanted to play this extreme game because I was inspired with all my
friends in our town that were also playing with skateboard.. When I play
skateboard my mother will scold me because I might be crash and won’t be able
to walk, I might have fractures in my body but I insist to play because I love
skateboarding, it is now my passion, me talent, my inspiration, my “Girlfriend”.
You will not be strong if you will not encounter things that are dangerous and
won’t be able to have small fractures and injury. My best advice for all
beginners that wants to play this extreme sport first is your safety. Don’t buy
skateboard set when you don’t have gears like multi sport helmet, elbow pad for
your elbows, knee pads for your knees, and Wrist guard for your hands. Second is
you must have a skateboard, when you’re a beginner, you may buy blank decks,
blank wheel, blank truck and it is more cheap. Third, don’t ride your
skateboards on streets yet. You must be in safe places that there are no cars
and you can practice well.Fourth, you must be with your friends so that if you
will have injury your friends are there to send you to clinic or to the
hospital. Next is being patient. Last but not the least is enjoy and have fun
practicing.
Simple
tricks for beginners- well you must learn the basic trick of skateboarding and
it is “Ollie”. Ollie is the basic trick and the most common trick in
skateboard. When you learn this trick all trick will be easy if this trick is
mastered “Ollie”. There many tricks that can be landed namely Kickflip, Heelflip,
Popshove it, Varial flip and etc. if you want to learn tricks in easier way the
best teacher is yourself. Always think positive when you are playing. So now
that you know the basics of skateboarding go now and buy your deck! Good luck
and enjoy being a pro skater! Enjoy things and don’t forget to take care of
yourselves.
