How do you skateboard?

Very poorly.  Its all a matter of balance, shifting you weight, left and right to turn.  Keep your head up and your helment on.

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.

practice makes perfect. iu've been skateboarding for about 3 years now and i have gotten pretty good at it just by practicing riding around with my bf. My first trick was the Olley cuz it's pretty easy. if u forgot how to skateboard i suggest that the first trick u try would be the Olley. Well, i've wasted enough space.

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.

Oh, man. I stunk at skateboarding. I mean it was fun but I took forever to learn new tricks. One of my friends learned it in like one hour. Then, another friend took one week. I took about a month. Man, turned out I took the advice from my friends the wrong way. Then one of my friends told me you were suppose to relax. So then I relaxed my body and of course my legs and I finally did one. You're suppose to pop really hard and then shift your weight to the front of the board. It's easier to jump towards the front of the board and then you improve your professional look from there.

well, did u did it the right way? ok here's a tip if you want to jump. this trick is called an "ollie." an "ollie" is by taping the end of the board off the ground or on a ramp. by doing this you well have one foot by the tail of the board and the other foot in the middle of the board. also, bend ur knee while doing this trick also. ok since u got the position, go do it. don't do it while ur moving because this made cause injuries. ok get balance on the board while doing this. tap the tail of the board and jump a little bit and that will make the "ollie." if u want to make a flip. i'll tell u this is complicated to do. what kind of flip do u want any way? because the "ollie" the the easiest trick. do u want me to teach u how because i'm been skating for 1 year and 5 months and i'm a pro. it's easily if u r confidante on doing it and hangin out with the pros and also lookin up on the internet for tricks help.

well hopefully this helps:\n\nif you want to do it moving i suggest to go with the wind. try the first part of the trick lifting one part of the board, with all your weight and balancing then do the following  1.   bend down on your knees( with right foot on about middle of the board, and the other in the tip of the board.), 2.   lean to your left side(if thats the foot you push with, with your left foot) and press the board and once the board is up lean to the other side while sliding your foot the other way so the oppostie side comes up as well\n\n there short and sweet, for you\n\ncome to HELP YOU, first practice it alot of times. make sure you lean tothe other side WHILE you slide your foot.\n\nTip: I would try it in the grass first)\nPS it works, but it will take some practice!

OK, stand on the board, and don't fall off.\n\nKick with your dominant foot to propel yourself.\n\nRemember though, don't fall off.

1.get yourself a board\n2.get yourself suitable shoes ( DC's or Vans)\n3.place your weaker foot on the front third of the board \n4.push with your other foot on the ground try not to lean to far foward or you could end up sending the board behind youself\n5. then with a little practise your should be on your way in no time

the easiest thing is get a skateboard and practice, make sure you give a little bit of oomph while you skate, and don't go too fast though!

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.

Street trick tips: Beginner\n\n\n\n\nOllie: For a good solid ollie you want to place your back foot on the tail and your front foot right in the middle of the board. Now bend your knees and pop the tail to the ground hard and slide your front foot up to the nose of the board. This should start taking you off the ground so suck your knees up to your chest like your sitting down in mid air. Get ready for the landing by bending down to absorb the shock.\n\n\nManual: For a manual you want to place your front foot on the front bolts and your back foot on the tail of the board. Now shift your weight to your back foot while balancing in the middle of your board to stay in the manual position.\n   \n\nNose manual: Start out in regular manual position just with your front foot on the nose and your back foot on the back truck bolts. Now shift your weight to your front foot and lean a little bit backwards. Now balance out for a good nose manual.\n\n\n5-0 grind: Be clean with ollies and manuals. Now roll next to the object you plan on grinding with a good amount of speed and pop an ollie. Land on the back truck and shift your weight to your back foot and lean forward some. Keep balancing so you can get a pretty long grind. At the end of the grind pop an ollie off depending on the type of grinding object. Land and roll away.\n\n\nPop shuv-it: Okay get into the ollie position except put you back foot on the upper side of the tail and your front right off the lower side. Now pop down the tail and sweep your front foot forwards and your back foot backwards. The board should start doing a 180` turn so while it’s moving jump above the board to give it room to spin. After it’s done spinning catch it and roll away. \n\n\nNollie: For a nollie place your front foot on the nose and your back foot in the middle of the board. Now pop the nose down and slide your back foot up to the tail. Raise your knees while in the air and land.\n\nFrontside 180`: Get in the ollie position just have it so your front foot toes are hanging off the side of the board. Now pop and ollie and twist your hips so you’re starting to turn to the left if you’re regular footed, if you’re goofy footed to the right. Practice landing 90`s until you start landing full 180`s.\n\n\nBackside 180`: Get into the ollie position just that your front foot’s heel is hanging of the edge of the board. Now ollie and twist your hips in the other direction so your turning in the opposite direction of a frontside 180`.\n\n                                          Street trick tips: Beginner advanced\n\n\n\nPop shuv-it nose manual: Be clean with pop shuv-its, nose manuals and ollies. Now get into the pop shuv-it position and be ready for a nose manual. Shuv a shuv-it and once it’s starting to come around you want to have your feet in the nose manual position while in mid air. Note: You will only have a split second while in the air so get this down fast. Now land balanced in a nose manual and roll away.\n\n\n\nKickflip: Place your back foot on the mid side of the tail and your front foot off to the side with your heel hanging off the edge. Now pop an ollie and flick your front foot off the side of the nose making it flip. Raise your knees to your chest to stay over the board and land with your feet over the bolts. Be sure to flick off the board hard to get the rotation and raise your knees to your chest. The best place to practice kickflips is on carpet because you have more control over the board.
