If you have to ask, start with knee pads.\n\n# 1) Push at a comfortable speed, remember the faster you go the better the pop.\n# 2) Place your front foot near the middle of your board, about two inches under your bolts. Put your back foot on the tail.\n# 3) Squat, so you can spring yourself up.\n# 4) Kick your back foot down so you can pop as you jump up, your front foot should rub upward on your griptape.\n# 5) Make sure you tuck your knees to your chest, picking up your back foot as well to level the board at a good height. REMEMBER you are jumping forward.\n# 6) Then come down comfortably, both feet on the board. It will look better if both your feet are over the bolts as well as lessen the stress of impact\n# 7) Finally bend your legs as you touch down to give it that smooth style and roll away stocked.

my favorite shoe brands are DC and eS. As for skateboards you need trucks bearings wheels bolts griptape and a deck to make a complete board... for trucks i suggest independant, they last forever... just make sure you NEVER NEVER EVER get royal trucks, just from minor skating mine snapped in lik 8 places. for bearings um, it doesnt matter too much, bones swiss are the fastest but the most expensive. wheels, anything, i get 53mm not too small, not too big but it seems people buy smaller. bolts are just screws they dont matter. griptape i ride Iron Horse, just dont get a blank brand for griptape, theyr no good.... Jesup and Black Magic are good brands too. ok and for Decks, or the actual board part, they are all basicly the same, element and zero are good, so is blind, and i guess try anything except girl, i hate those boards... some other companies i can think of are enjoi, flip, almost, darkstar, mystery, baker, alien workshop (i HEARD that these were the best)....... well for myself i ride blanks, i go through boards alot so i cant afford a $50 deck, buy from blankdecks.com, they make the best ones

Get some metal and weld it all together, some wheels, some tires, a couple pieces of rubber for handle bars and pedals, a few feet of chain, and a wicker basket for the front and you're set. =) Oh and a cushion for a seat...don't want to forget the seat. Ouch... =)

sometimes i just go fast on the skateboard and when im going fast at the same time and I push down a little hard and then try to do a ollie or if this does not work do this:\nEvery trick in skateboarding owes a large debt to the grandfather and basic building block of all moves, the ollie. The idea is simple: just get rolling and jump with the skateboard under foot, after that, the variations are endless. You have the kickflip, the shove-it, the nollie, the impossible, and a myriad of grabs, but there’s just one problem. It’s not quite as easy as it may seem, and if you have gone through skateboarding 101 with the aid of the newest hit video game, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, you may be in for a rude awakening. \n\n\nThe ollie is a simple trick, but it does take a long time to master. The first thing that you may want to keep in mind is that it takes a serious toll upon your unsuspecting footwear. There are special shoes made for skateboarding that are designed with extra padding to compensate for the friction created by sliding your foot along the griptape (a sandpaper like material found on top of any serious skateboard). You may want to get a pair, but they tend to be a bit pricey. It is also a good idea to start off on gravel or some other surface that doesn’t allow the board to move around much. You should work up to performing an ollie while moving after you have it perfected in this way. \n\n\n \nThe first step is to place your feet properly upon the skateboard. There are two typical stances in skateboarding. When your left foot is at the back, you are skating "goofy-footed", and when your right foot is at the back, you are said to be skating "regular". Either way is just as good; all that matters is what comes more comfortable and natural to you. You back foot should be on the tail at the point right before it hangs off the edge, and your front foot should be about halfway down the skateboard. You may feel a little unbalanced like this, but it will become easier with time. \n\n\nNext, you must crouch down slightly, bending at the knees (you can put your hands out slightly to help keep your balance). The basic ollie involves a quick shift in balance. Start off leaning back with a strong push down upon the tail so it touches the ground. Just as quickly as you have done that, jump up while sliding your front foot up towards the nose or front of the skateboard. Your board will be at an angle by now. The last part involves pushing down with your front foot to level out the board. The higher you jump, the higher your ollie will be. You must do all these steps in one single fluid motion, and this should result in a snapping of your board upon the ground causing it to jump up into the air underneath your feet. That’s all there is to it. \n\n\nIt may sound simple, but learning how to ollie takes a very long time – usually as much as six months to learn properly. After you perfect the ollie, you can work on height by stacking other skateboards (or anything else) and jumping them. Once you perfect this all-important trick, the world of skateboarding will be entirely open to you. All it takes is a good deck and a whole lot of determination!

put one foot on the back of the board and the other in the middle. press down very hard on the back of the board and slide the other foot foward. you need to jump with the board to make it happen.

Dude if your a regular sk8r, take your right hand, grab the middle of the board, quickly take your left foot off the board, place it on the ground, keep your right foot on the board and don't let it go with your hand, pivot a 180 on your left foot, push off the left foot and land fakie.If your goofy, sorry, just do the opposite of what I said. Aloha!

to Kickflip on a Skateboard\nStep-By-Step\n\nFrom Steve Cave,\nYour Guide to Skateboarding.\nFREE Newsletter.

Lots of Music.\nwww.SpencersOnline.com\nKickflips are tricky tricks, and there are plenty of potential problems you can run into. Here's some common problems:\n\nCredit Carding\nThis is where the board flips vertically, and hits you in the groin. That might happen, and it hurts a lot. Just lay on the ground and moan for a while, get up and walk around, and try again. Try to keep the board spinning only on the vertical axis (nose to tail). \nPartial Flip\nWhen you kickflip, the skateboard doesn't flip all the way over. That's all right - focus on landing with both feet, even if your board is upside down. Next time try to flick the board harder. Make sure you are flipping off of the edge of the nose. Flick the skateboard out and down, not just down. Otherwise, your foot will keep the skateboard from spinning.\n\nChickenfoot\nThis is where you pop up into the air, but when you land, for some reason one of your feet always seems to land on the ground. The most common reason for this is that you don’t feel safe, and you are pulling one foot out to catch yourself. You might not even be aware of it. Try to be aware that you are catching yourself, and just stop doing it. If that doesn't work, then you can see which foot stays on the board, and next time focus on keeping that foot on and let the other foot come off. Then, try both.\nVisit the skate forum for more advice.\n\nKickflip Setup\nStep 2 - Stance\nStep 3 - The Pop\nStep 4 - The Flick\nStep 5 - The Nose\nStep 6 - Get Out of the Way\nStep 7 - Stay Level During Flip\nStep 8 - Catch the Skateboard\nStep 9 - Land and Roll Away\nStep 10 - Troubleshooting

You prolly have to get used to cracking boards and stuff. Theres no point in keeping everything perfectly fine, unless u dont skate enough to crack boards. \n\nThere is wax and board wax and stuff but most of that is to put on ledges to board slide them\n\nAlso, im not joking, but keep it away from brothers, neighbors, and people u just dont trust with a skateboard. I cant tell u how many times new boards have cracked because i let Skateboarding Retards get on my boards....

He is right. Those measurements are for something else. Bearings are standard size and should fit any skateboard wheels, provided that you have skateboard bearings and skateboard wheels. :) It's all preference.

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.

With a skateboard! :P\n\nActually, you'll need lots of practise and a good sense of balance. If you ahve any friends with a skateboard, you shoudl ask if you can borrow it, and get some help. It'll take awhile to get the hang of it. You'll fall and get mad, so be careful, but if you stick with it you'll be fine.\n\n\nAnyways, to start you have your one foot on the board (around the middle or so) then use the other leg to pull yourself forward. It's ahrd to explain. Wacth some videos and stuff and you shoudl be able to get the basics of it.

you unscrew  the nuts in the wheel that attach them to the trucks. the best way to do this is with a standard skate tool from your nearest skateshop. remove the current bearings with a screwdriver by poking them out and replace the new bearings and the little pipe piece in between in the same placethey were before. this can be done with your hands

Well, 1st off, I suggest you buy one,(its alot less hassle). If you want to make one you would need "marine" plywood", "fiber-glass resin and Cloth", Paint, Small "skegs" and a "design-shape" to cut your board with. It is not an easy task. Alot of sanding.layering "glass". BUY a board don't try makin one!!!!!.....good luck!
