Skateboarding Tips For Beginners

So you’ve got your first skateboard. Now, where do you start? It all looks so easy on television. You’ve watched skateboarders effortlessly do ramp and hill tricks and do balancing acts while jumping and doing somersaults on their skateboard. You’ve always wanted to know how to do these skateboard tricks but first you need to get used to your skateboard and practice the basics.

Some of the skateboarding tips for beginners are to get proper skateboard shoes and gear. Skateboard shoes should fit well so that they don’t loosen and come out half way through your skateboarding which has a lot to do with pushing the ground with your foot and finding your stance. You should also get a helmet for safety in case you fall. Elbow pads and knee pads are also required depending on what you plan to do with your skateboard.

Skateboarding for beginners needn’t be hard. It is just a matter of getting used to moving around in your skateboard and getting a feel of being on the skateboard. One of the skateboarding tips for beginners is to try standing on the skateboard and finding your balance with the front of your feet and your heels. The next thing is to see which foot comes first or which is your ‘forward foot’. This foot is usually the ‘push off foot’. The other foot goes on the board.

Skateboarding for beginners involves a lot of practicing on surfaces where your skateboard can roll and where you can stand on the board. One of the skateboarding tips for beginners is to lean left or right just like you would if you were on a pair of skates to change direction. These are the basics of skateboarding for beginners. Now all you have to do is take time to practice these steps and then you can move on to harder maneuvers and skateboard tricks.
