Learn to Skateboard – How to Master a Drop in Like a Skateboarding Legend

If you want to learn to skateboard, one of the first skateboarding tricks you’ll want to master is the drop in. Mastering the skill of dropping in is critical because it’s the maneuver you will use time and time again at the top of a half or quarter pipe or any time you need to start skateboarding from a transition. For example, the transition from flat to slope found at the top of a hill or ledge. Since dropping in requires no popping, flipping, or turning, it is generally considered an easy skateboard trick perfect for beginners. Here’s how to pull it off.

When you first learn to skateboard and start performing your first skateboarding tricks and tips, remember to play it safe to keep from getting hurt. It’s common to fall as you practice your skills so wear protective gear. To practice dropping in, find a shallow embankment or small quarter pipe. At the top where the quarter pipe transitions to the flat part, put the tail of your skateboard on the edge and make sure your back wheels are on the transition/slope. Your front wheels should be up in the air hanging out over the slope.

Position your feet so one foot (your back foot) is on the tail of your board holding it in place while your other foot (the front foot) rests behind it on the flat area at the top of the quarter pipe. This will be the foot you step onto your skateboard with when you start the maneuver.

Once you are in the right stance and are ready to drop in, take your front foot that isn’t on the board yet and step onto your skateboard right above where the front truck bolts are located. As you do this, make sure to keep all your weight on your back foot.

You’re now ready to drop in so shift your weight to your front foot and lean forward. As you lean forward, pop your front trucks down to the transition/slope, keeping your knees slightly bent and about 70-80% of your weight on your front foot. Then, simply maintain your balance and ride out the transition until you reach the bottom. At the bottom, shift your weight to a normal riding stance and continue coasting.

When you first learn to skateboard using the drop in maneuver, you may find yourself leaning back as you drop your board to the transition. Don’t do this as it will cause you to fall. This generally happens if you get scared part way through the maneuver. Wear protective gear as you practice to prevent injury and try it with 100% confidence and zero hesitation. Remember to lean forward as you drop in and you’ll be well on your way to becoming the slickest skateboarder on the block.

Now is the time to learn how to skateboard.

Skateboarding tricks and tips don’t have to be hard to learn when you master the basics and use the proper techniques. If you want to learn how to turn even the most difficult maneuvers into easy skateboard tricks that can be mastered almost effortlessly, an extremely helpful resource that can help you right now is http://www.EasySkateboardTricks.org.

Skateboarding Tricks and Tips – Perfecting the Ollie Maneuver For Skateboard Beginners


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Skateboarding tricks and tips are as varied as the skateboarders who perform them, but none is more important and fundamental than the ollie. The ollie is a technique used to raise a skateboarder and his/her board off the ground. It’s the trick you see when a skateboarder jumps and the board seems to stay magically attached to their feet. If you plan to perform more difficult airborne tricks, the ollie is your gateway to getting there.

So how do you perform an ollie? Like most skateboarding tricks and tips, this will take time to master and it is recommended that you first learn and practice this maneuver on grass or another soft surface to prevent getting hurt. You shouldn’t need a rolling start to get some air.

The placement of your feet is very important when you perform an ollie. You want your front foot resting straight across the width of the skateboard about midway down the board with your toe in line with the rail of your skateboard. Your back foot should rest on the tail of the board with your heel hanging off and your toe aligned with the curve of the tail.

Once your feet are in position, crouch down by bending your knees, and then pop your back foot down as hard and fast as you can and jump with your back foot. Think of it like you are trying to bounce the back of your skateboard up off the ground. This is essentially what you are doing. As you are jumping with your back foot, slide your front foot up your board. Try sliding on the side of your shoe where your little toe would be rather than keeping it flat on the board.

When your front foot reaches the front of the board, you should be in the air. At first you’ll probably only get 1-2″ off the ground, but with practice you’ll be able to get much higher. Once you are in the air, you’ll need to level your board to land. You can do this by putting downward pressure over both sets of bolts on your skateboard. As you land absorb the impact by bending your knees. You’ve just performed the perfect ollie.

As with most skateboarding tricks and tips, you won’t master the ollie overnight. Practice daily and you will see improvement quickly. Don’t get frustrated if you continually fall. Just get back on your board and try again.

Now is the time to master skateboarding tricks and become the king of your board.

Skateboarding tricks and tips start with the basics, but the more difficult tricks are where the real fun begins. If you want to rule the skate park by learning how to turn even the most difficult maneuvers into easy skateboard tricks that can be mastered almost effortlessly, an extremely helpful resource that can help you right now is http://www.EasySkateboardTricks.org.
