How do you skateboard?
337627
With a skateboard! :P\n\nActually, you'll need lots of practise and a good sense of balance. If you ahve any friends with a skateboard, you shoudl ask if you can borrow it, and get some help. It'll take awhile to get the hang of it. You'll fall and get mad, so be careful, but if you stick with it you'll be fine.\n\n\nAnyways, to start you have your one foot on the board (around the middle or so) then use the other leg to pull yourself forward. It's ahrd to explain. Wacth some videos and stuff and you shoudl be able to get the basics of it.

push down on the tail of the skateboard with your backfoot (making the nose come up) while at the same time sliding your front foot from the center of the board towards the nose.  try landing your front foot on top of your hardware. while doing all that you should be going through a jumping motion.\n\nhttp://expn.go.com/tricks/Ollie.html#

alright. so first you stand near the back of the board with both feet. with your back foot, you pop the tail down and jump right away. with your front foot, slide it up to level the board out. then you will land on all fours. its gonna take a longgg time to get it. took me almost a month. but once you get the hang of it, play with where you put your feet and all of that; get comfortable with the ollie.

Okay, dude...this one can be quite difficult when beginning, but if you are determined, and you pay special attention to this answer, you will be bound to sucsess! First position your back foot over the tail of the skateboard with your foot perpindicular to the way the skateboard is going. your front foot should be pointed at about a 50/130 angle pointed foreward near the screws on the griptape, and only the ball of your foot should be on the board.\n..\nIn order to attempt the action, you must first kick down with your foot as if you are executing the ollie motions, but when the nose of your board goes into the air, kick your front (pointed) foot off the nose of the board and watch it spin, but dont land: try this a few times until you have mastered the spin action. Now, in order to land a kickflip, you have to combine those motions with a jump move.\nJump  your legs up (like you would without a skateboard) just after you kick your front foot off the nose of the board, and when you see the grip tape, stick it! There are 2 rules, however to "sticking it" and landing a cool looking kickflip. One, you have to envision yourself landing the trick before you even attempt it... it may sound wierd or stupid, but trust me, it will work. Doin this will also save you a lot of time wondering why you can't land with both feet. The second rule, is make sure you land with 2 feet on the board with confidence. As simple as this may sounds, you will naturally be afraid of landing on the board with 2 feet, and you will only want to land on with one foot...So go out there, and kick some...uh...flip! Good luck dude.

Hey banannas a kick flip is a basic okay. Its already a regular flip. Okay dude start by riding at a slow steady and comfortable speed. Put ur back foot on the end on the curve and ur front foot in the middle of the board. Push ur back foot down and drag ur front foot all the way up the board but drag it at n angle towards u. Hope I helped thanx!!!! (6)

First off, if u are goofy, put your right foot forward close to the front screws and towards the middle not the edge, and left one behind you really close to the back edge. With both of your feet lean on your balls of ur feet, and with your left foot tip the skateboard were there is only one end of it one the floor, and at the exact same time you ROLL/SLIDE your right foot/toe upwards on the skateboard, you have to roll with enough force that the skateboard jumps into the air. If you are regular same thing just visaversa.

The best part about skateboarding is that there is no right or wrong way to do it.  It is pure freedom.  Anyone can skateboard.  Just get on and go.  If you want to take it to another level, then just like anything else, you have to practice and practice hard.

easy lol..... jk it takes much practice and dedication.... it could even take the rest of your life....jk\n\ntry it on some carpet or grass at first, what you need to do is bend down and when you want to jump up with the board you have to jump with the foot that is on the tail first and let the nose rise up, now with your front foot thats not on the tail you slide your foot foward and bring your back foot thats is on the tail up, this is going to level the board out while connected to your feet.\n\nif that made no sence get a skatevideo and watch, you can also get a video that was made for beginer skaters that has pros show you how they do ther tricks

you need to get thin layers off wood (10-12), flexible wood that can change shape easily.  very thin plywood, you need to cut each layer into the shape of the skateboard, nose, tail, concave, incave, etc.  bend it and glue the thin layers together.  usually this is done with a special kind of press.  it will be very hard to make your own skateboard, but thats the idea.

# 1) Start with your back foot on the tail and your front foot right under the bolts. Your front foot should be slanted just a little.\n# 2) Bend your knees and pop your board.\n# 3) Flick your front foot off the tip of the nose making it flip.\n# 4) Suck up your legs for the catch. Try and keep your feet over the bolts.\n# 5) Land and absorb the shock and roll away.

Ollieing takes time. You just need to practice a lot. You can also find trick tips on the web. Try www.skateboard-city.com or www.skateboard.com. These sites are pretty good. Practicing on the grass wouldn't really help. You should hold on to a fence or a handrail while doing the ollie. You should have your front foot in the middle of the board and your back foot at the tip of the tail. Bend down, jump up right before you pop. Once you push your back foot down you should IMMEDIATELY jump off it to get a higher ollie. DRAG your front foot up the board while you do all that. Suck you legs up to your chest, and gravity will bring you back down. You should bend your knees when you land to absorb the shock. You should pop your board while bending down. You should bend, jump, pop and drag, suck up legs, land. You should pop 3/4 through your jump. practice ollieing down, up and over stuff. Ollie down stairs, curbs, ledges. Ollie up curbs. Ollie over gaps, decks, rocks, stuff like that. Main thing is practice.
