What are some skateboarding tips for beginners?

Answer by  Mary07 (199)

Make certain you have proper safety gear, because you fall off a lot. Practice your balancing on the skateboard. Try to practice on soft surface, like a rubber baseketball court.

When learning how to skateboard, a person has to remember to start slow. Do not attempt anything that you feel uncomfortable doing. Make sure to maintain balance at all times.

Play with the different parts of your board and get comfortable with actually riding it before you jump into those crazy tricks.

When first learning to skateboard just find which way you feel standing on the board. After that dont try to go overboard, just get good at riding regulary, pushing off and staying balanced then once you get really good at that then try some smaller tricks and work your way up that way. Balance and control are the most important.
