magician Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 how do u do tricks on skateboards? i try doing the pop-shuvit but the board never stays in 1 place. an example. 1. when i tried doing a kickflip it flipped over really far and almost broke my mirror that was 1 yard away. 2. i tried a pop-shuvit and instead of landing on the board guess what.......I LANDED with my front foot on the tail of the board instead of where the front bolts are and my back foot landed on a stump. i fell and almost did the splits. second of all how do u stay still. when i try pop-shuvit's i always do a body varial in the air and sometimes my back hits a sharp ledge and i hear cracks sometimes. so im askin please post or email me at cards2000@hotmail.com how to prevent those things from happening. by the way if u choose to email me, then make the subject skateboarding. if your just posting your answers just to be a good saint but not really mean to post it, then could u post it to prevent me from getting hurt?

princessliar Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 All I can do is 1. grip the board with my shoes 2. balance on it 3. ride it standing up 4. go down steps on it (Without falling off!) Yes, it probably does seem pretty weird to think of a girl skateboarding. I guess I'm just a tomboy - you should have seen the faces I was pulling when I had to get my prom dress. Really not my scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plan9 Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 umm it sounds like you just need practice. No one can really tell you how to do tricks. You can be told the basics, but you really need to learn them yourself. Like, to tell someone how to do a heelflip noseslide I can say "do a heelflip, into a noseslide", and to tell you how to do a pop-shuvit I can say "make the board rotate 180 degrees, then land back on top of it". But everyone (who skates...) knows that the magazine trick tips, and anything else, isn't gonna help. Sometimes getting a couple pointers from a good skater can help but uhh..I'd say you're pretty much on your own =P Practice, practice, practice.

Pedantic Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I just about kill myself on anything that moves under my feet (besides boats, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magician Posted April 15, 2002 Author Share Posted April 15, 2002 uh your wrong about something because number1.u said nobody can teach u to do things on a skateboard but your wrong because i was taught how to ollie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plan9 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Cool, you can ollie, want a cookie? Obviously people can TEACH you, but trying to teach someone online is almost impossible. Its like telling someone: "To be good at lightsaber combat, you have to make it past their defenses, and hit them with your own lightsaber!". You can give tips, you can give pointers, but to learn you have to DO IT YOURSELF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magician Posted April 16, 2002 Author Share Posted April 16, 2002 thats easy to understand what u said. what it means is try to find their weakness then get them to the ground. then attack them.its like doing force push or pull but they have to be maxeed out in order to make them fall to the ground. as i was saying use force push or pull to knock them to the ground.then is your chance toattack them.
