Real Skateboarding

This page is for newbies and wanna-be skaters who have just started out.  Send me stuff, such as tips for beginners, your personal best of ollies, and anything else that is interesting

This part of the site is dedicated to real skateboarding, not Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.  Here you will find movies for beginners, such as the ollie, kickflip, and some of me skating.  I started skating in June 2000, and have gotten pretty good.  I can ollie about 14 inches, and 50-50 grind a rail up at the local skate-pad. I can also grind it, then drop off in mid-grind. If you have any advice, or videos of you skating, please send them.  If you are sending a video, make sure it isn't too big, try to keep it under 3-5 megs, and zip it with WinZip.  Thanks!

Last year I discovered a real skatepark nearby, it's cool! It has a mini-ramp, a  small spine, a funbox, a table, and a bunch of cool rails and random ramps.  I learned how to kickflip the day before Thanksgiving (2001), and have just learned how to heelflip and boardslide.  I like transferring hips, although I am not that good at it yet.  Some free advice: having your own stuff is really good to learn on.

I am not responsible for anybody getting hurt trying to skateboard.

This was a decent ollie last winter, but junk now.

Sweet trick, I've gotten it pretty good, this is the best one on tape.
