Enroll in Course
Mastering the basics of skateboarding is absolutely crucial in order to Excel your skateboarding to any upper level. Often times, the first requests are: teach me how to Ollie, I want to learn how to Kickflip, I want to do ramps, When can you teach me to grind the rail or curb?
However, after working with hundreds of students over thousands of lessons, the MOST important part of skateboarding is concretely learning the basics. Asking to learn how to Ollie before riding is the same as trying to build a skyscraper without building a solid foundation first... It's going to fall very quickly and easily.
Mastering the basics of skateboarding starts with learning how to properly navigate the skateboard with ease. Each of these below steps builds upon each other creating a foundation that is strong, concrete and ready to be expounded on. The Skateboard Basics Include:
- What is a skateboard and what is the name of all of the parts? What is the function of each of the skateboard parts?
- What is the best skateboard to buy for my skill level?
- How do I warm up to skateboard at my highest level?
- Standing with balance and comfortability on a skateboard
- Properly Distributing your weight
- Pushing with complete control
- Stopping your skateboard with complete control
- Turning your skateboard simply by properly leaning forward and backward
- Turning your skateboard by slightly pushing down on the back of the skateboard
- Mastering the basics of rolling down ramps and inclines
After we have concretely and repetitively performed the above tasks, we will now be ready to take on the next level of skateboarding. But remember, the basics NEED to ALWAYS be practiced, reconsidered and repeated on a DAILY basis until they become part of your Auto-Pilot mind. Practice does NOT make Perfect... PERFECT PRACTICE Makes PERFECT.
