Do You Know How To Skateboard?
484820
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.

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.

Your teacher is wrong, there is not such a thing as a degree in skateboarding, it is a sport, and you only become good at it by practicing it, not by studying it. To become a professional skateboarder you would have to be very good at it and then get sponsored by companies that sell skateboarding products, or any other company that uses skateboarding as a form of advertisement.

First you should get on your skateboard with one foot on it.Then you should try pushing yourself slowly.But I reccomend you do it with an adult or a friend who knows how to skate.You should wear pads.You can hire someone if you know someone you can hire.Or just go online.To do a manual you have to ride slowly if you are a begginner.Then you lean back on your tail a little and try to keep your balance.I suggest you stay still on your skatboard on flat ground and lean back and try to balance.When you get the hang of manualing you should start to manual while moving.

You have to be really patient, because it takes months to even learn the basic tricks well.  Basically, one of the easiest tricks is the "manual," where you tilt the front part of the board up while you skate (you could also do it with the back part of the board).  You can use a manual to turn around while skating.  Also you can do a trick (I think it's called "a pop-shove-it") where you basically spin the board 180 degrees from under you without your body actually moving in a different direction.  One more trick is the "ollie," which is basically a jump trick.  It's complex to explain, but you basically slam the back of the board down and shift the front foot forward while you raise your back foot and move that foot forward as well.\n\nBasically, if you're completely new at skateboarding, try skating around, increasing your speed, turning, and generally balancing well before you try any tricks.  These tricks should be started when you're still (i.e. not moving forward) and gradually you should be able to do them while moving slowly.\n\nTry http://www.skateboard.com/ for some trick tips and videos.

I saw a thing on TransWorld Skateboarding Magazine, and Ryan Sheckler says how to set up with your front foot; it should be a few inches from the back bolts of the front truck, get a good amount of speed, smash the tail into the ground and do the highest ninja kick you can, let the board flip under you, catch w/ your feet or hand, keep it the catch (unless you are grabbing it, release it after catching it) and land.\n\nI don't know it sounds pretty retarded ;)

You may want to look up skateboarding web sites (some has tutorial videos on how to do flips, ollie, etc.) or join a Yahoo group (if there is one).  Visit a local bookstore and pull up anything relating to skateboarding... and magazines (i.e. Transworld, Switch, Slap, etc.)  I usually try to find a copy of dvds (skateboarding competition) and watch the pros and imitate them.  Visit events if there is one.  Your best bet at doing something good... well... one could always say practice makes perfect.  Good luck!

Kick down on the tail, slide your front foot up and push down on the nose. Then level the board out. If I remember right anyway...

Panda Ninja: say something smart dont be a smart a** maybe she is just starting out u moron.\n\nTo ollie u place ur front foot in the middle of the board, and ur back foot on the tip of the back of the board. Now try and pop the tail which means put ur weight on the tail but try and jump with ur other foot at the same time.then push ur front foot to the top to level ur board. Once u get it ride away with a smile.

I love boogieboarding. Im 14 and i have gotten very good at it.  I can do tricks and even stand up on it.  Its a little easier to do then surfing, but learning how to do tricks is very hard.  I have boarded on a ten foot wave, it is hard.
