Fun with a Skateboard

Posted Wed Nov 24, 2010 - 08:30 PM

Even though it sounds hard it is not that hard if you are a skateboarder and have been skating for a little while now. Most skateboarding trick though are going to be hard and you need to know your limits when you are skateboarding. The last thing you will need to do is break a bone before you even start learning any cool tricks. So be careful when you are trying to learn to skateboard and do cool tricks. You also need to remember to wear your pads so you don't get any scraps or scratches or even gashes to where you have to get stitches. Stitches are something that you do not want to have to get if you get hurt that is the last thing that you want when you are a beginner skateboarder.

Food is a great energy booster. Bring along some snacks wherever you go. I like things high in protein, like peanut butter sandwiches or similar. A high protein snack will make you feel full, and will also help your muscles grow back after you break them down while skateboarding.

We'll cover the shuvit first. The shuvit is a great trick for new skaters. As I mentioned earlier, it doesn't involve any real learning curve, and can be performed without an ollie. To do a shuvit, place your back foot up on the tail of the board, and your front foot on the mid section of the deck. Lift the board up as if you were going to do a manual, and then kick your front foot to the left or right. If you did this properly, the board should pivot and spin underneath your feet. Start with 180 shuvits at first. After landing a few of those, you can start working your way up to a 360 shuvit or even a 540 shuvit.

Constructed out of 7-ply cross-laminated maple, most decks are stable and can handle daily use and hard-play. However some decks are made out of fiberglass, resin, Kevlar, bamboo, aluminum, or carbon fiber or plastic components as well in order to increase rigidity.

Skateboard ramps are plenty of fun. They can be made without much effort - a classic ramp is just a board stacked up on some objects. A safer alternative is to construct a ramp entirely from wood. Cut a two by four piece of wood diagonally, and nail a piece of plywood to the pieces. Instant ramp
