Tony Hawk's Trick Tips, Vol. 2 - Essentials of Street (2001)

2010-12-11T03:26:00.000-08:00

Product Description
Tony Hawk's Trick Tips, Vol. 2: Essentials of Street is a good sequel to Tony Hawk's Skateboarding Basics, with more advanced tricks that pick up where the first video left off. In the street section, featured tricks include the feeble grind, 360 flip, and hardflip, with help from the infamous Eric Koston, the 2000-2001 street skateboarder of the year and the X- games street gold-medalist. In the vert section, Hawk demonstrates ramp tricks like the 5-0 grind, frontside ollie, and backside disaster, with help from pro skater Colin McKay and Hawk's young son, Riley. Each pro skater has an animated portrait that randomly pops in and out of the screen, sometimes to give helpful bits of information or comments. But a little of this goes a long way, and it tends to be overused. --Neal Marks

Tony Hawk's Trick Tips Vol. 1 - Skateboarding Basics [VHS] (2000)

2010-12-11T03:22:00.000-08:00

Product Description
Skateboarding idol Tony Hawk leads beginners through an introductory course, starting with selecting the right equipment and ending with intermediate tricks. Hawk teaches the basics of several of the most popular styles, including street, vert, and grinds on rails, with help from Kris Markovich and Brian Sumner, two other pro skaters. The 39-minute video starts out with Hawk and his sidekicks demonstrating balance on the board and the correct way to push and turn. Then they move on to the ollie, kickflip, shove- it, heelflip, and 180s, and finally more complicated moves like dropping into the mini-ramp and how to kickturn and rock-to-fakie. For the finale, they teach the correct way to boardslide on a rail. These pros spend about five minutes explaining in detail how to carry out each trick correctly (and incorrectly--all of the pros take some entertaining intentional falls showing how not to do a trick; fortunately, they wear helmets and encourage all skaters to wear them). A helpful popup dialogue box offers information about the subject.

This well-produced video is fun to watch, whether or not you are trying to learn tricks, since it also contains skateboarding humor and the culture of boarder life. It's a great video for beginners, and it will still be useful once you master the basics. It also teaches more advanced tricks that will provide a challenge for quite a long time, since, as Hawk himself says, it takes years to master them. --Neal Marks

Skateboarding Safety Tips

2010-12-11T03:19:00.000-08:00

Skateboarding is a popular activity enjoyed by many young people. However, it's also an activity that causes many unintentional injuries. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons encourages physical activity as part of an overall health and fitness plan. You can have fun, but it is always important to be safe!

Each year in the United States, skateboarding injuries cause about 50,000 visits to emergency departments and 1500 children and adolescents to be hospitalized. (Source: AAP, March 2002.) According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), more than 15,600 persons need hospital emergency room treatment each year for injuries related to skateboarding. Fractures are a frequent type of injury. Deaths as a result of collisions with motor vehicles and from falls are also reported.

Irregular riding surfaces account for more than half of the skateboarding injuries caused by falls. Wrist injury is the number one injury, usually a sprain or a fracture. Skateboarders who have been skating for less than a week suffered one-third of the injuries. When experienced riders suffered injuries, it was usually from falls that were caused by rocks and other irregularities in the riding surface.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP):

* Children under age 5 years old should never ride a skateboard.
* Children aged 6 to 10 years old need close supervision from an adult or trustworthy adolescent whenever they ride a skateboard.

The National Safety Council offers these skateboarding tips:
The skateboard/protective gear

* There are boards with varying characteristics for different types of riding; i.e., slalom, freestyle or speed. Some boards are rated as to the weight of the intended user.
* Protective equipment, such as closed, slip-resistant shoes, helmets and specially designed padding, may not fully protect skateboarders from fractures, but wearing it can reduce the number and severity of cuts and scrapes.
* Padded jackets and shorts are available for skateboarders, as well as padding for hips, knees and elbows. Wrist braces and special skateboarding gloves also can help absorb the impact of a fall. Heavy duty pads are also available and recommended for large or difficult stunts.
* The protective equipment currently on the market is not subject to government performance standards and careful selection is necessary.
* In a helmet, look for proper fit and a chin strap; notice whether the helmet blocks vision and hearing. If padding is too tight, it could restrict circulation and reduce the ability to move freely. Loose-fitting padding, on the other hand, could slip off or slide out of position.

Wear proper protective equipment

Before getting on your skateboard, empty your pockets of all hard and sharp objects and put on your protective gear. Aways wear your gear whether or not you are simply going from one point to another or attempting a new trick or not. Wear your gear every trip, every trick, every time. Essential protective equipment includes:

* A properly fitting helmet
* Wrist guards
* Knee and elbow pads
* Shoes

Helmet

To protect your head from injury, always wear a properly fitting helmet. This is true no matter what your age, level of experience or location where you are skateboarding. Get a quality bicycle or multi-sport helmet. It should meet or exceed safety standards of the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or Snell Memorial Foundation. You may need to try on several sizes and models to find a helmet that fits your head correctly and securely. A properly fitting helmet:

* Is worn flat on your head with the bottom edge parallel to the ground
* Sits low on your forehead but does not interfere with your movement, vision or hearing
* Has side straps that form a "V" shape around each ear
* Has a buckle that fastens tightly (there should be room to put only two fingers between the strap and your chin)
* Has pads inside that you install or remove so the helmet fits snuggly
* Does not move in any direction when you shake your head in any direction

Replace your helmet when it is damaged, outgrown or at least every five years. You may need to replace it sooner if the manufacturer recommends it.

Note: Effective January 1, 2003, California has expanded its bicycle helmet law to require that children under age 18 wear helmets each time they use a skateboard, inline skates, roller skates or scooter, making the state's child helmet law the strictest in the nation. Violators face fines of $25, most of which benefits local health departments promoting helmet safety education and subsidizing helmet purchases for low-income families.
How to fall

Learning how to fall may help reduce the chances of a serious injury.

* If you are losing your balance, crouch down on the skateboard so that you will not have as far to fall.
* In a fall, the idea is to land on the fleshy parts of your body and make as many parts of your body land on the surface all at once avoiding harsh impact on any one body part or try to roll rather than absorb the force..
* Even though it may be difficult during a fall, try to relax your body, rather than go stiff.

Tips for using a skateboard

* Give your deck, wheels and trucks a safety check each time before you ride.
* Always wear safety gear.
* Never ride in the street.
* Obey the city laws. Observe traffic and areas where you can and cannot skate.
* Don't skate in crowds of non-skaters.
* Don't skate on another person's or business' private property.
* Only one person per skateboard.
* Never hitch a ride from a car, bicycle, etc (skitching).
* Don't take chances; complicated tricks require careful practice and a specially-designated area.
* Learn to fall—practice falling on a soft surface or grass.

Skateboarding Tips on tricks :The manual

2010-12-11T01:26:00.000-08:00

The Manual is where the skateboarder balances on his or her back wheels while rolling along (something like a wheelie on a bike) The Manual is a great skateboarding trick to learn – it’s different from all the regular technical flip tricks, and adds a good variety. Plus, learning to manual on your skateboard isn’t all that hard – it just takes balance and lots of practice. If you are brand new to skateboarding, you may want to take some time getting used to riding your skateboard before learning to manual. It will also help if you’ve already learned how to Ollie. Of course, it is totally up to you – if you are aggressive and want to learn to manual on your skateboard before learning how to actually ride, that’s up to you! Make sure you read all of these instructions and use skateboard safety gear while you try to manual.

Now remember – there is no right or wrong way to skateboard! But, right at the start, I recommend putting your feet in the following position. It works best for most people.
Foot placement to do manuals is important. You’ll want to have your back foot covering most of the tail of your skateboard, and the ball of your front foot right behind your front trucks.

For the manual, you shift your weight toward your back foot (slowly at first), while you lean a little forward (also slowly at first).
However, if you feel more comfortable with your front foot more towards the nose of your skateboard, or back more, or even over to the side – feel free. Do what works.
And now lets start to manual. You’ll need to be good enough at cruising around on your skateboard to be able to get up speed quickly, and keep it up for a little while without more pumping. Choose a line (a route you will go), get up some speed, and get ready to manual.
The basic maneuver of a manual is balance. Normally while skating, you have your weight spread out to about 50% on each foot, right? And if you are going downhill, you shift some of your weight to your front foot (perhaps making it 60% instead of 50%).

The manual is mostly about balance, and is performed on the back two wheels with most of your weight on your back wheels. During practice the skateboard tends to shoot forward and the skater to fall backward with a good chance of hitting your head hard. It would be very wise to wear a HELMET and WRIST BRACES (and maybe a little more padding on your butt).

You might not think that helmets look cool, but drooling out of the corner of your mouth for the rest of your life doesn’t look very cool either. Wear a helmet! You might also think about wearing wrist guards. Avoid using your arms/wrists when falling.
You’ll want to have plenty of flat ground to practice on. The skate park, sidewalk, parking garage or a large flat clean parking lot should do the trick. Just make sure it’s flat, and mostly smooth. Once you have your spot, get going at a pretty good speed.
Make sure you do NOT lean backward. Instead, lean the upper body (shoulders and head) toward the nose of your skateboard, while you shift your weight to the back foot.
This is pretty tricky stuff, and you will probably feel like you are loosing your balance. A balance trick is to hold your arms out and use them to catch your balance. Everyone does it – even pros!

Make sure you keep those shoulders forward, and when you are done performing the manual, just shift your weight back on that front foot and put the front wheels down. You should be able to ride away from a manual comfortably.
The Manual is just the beginning.
Once you feel comfortable with your manual, you can do all kinds of things to tweak it. Try to Manual on a sidewalk. See if you can manual from one thing to another. Try to manual off of a curb or if you really want to impress your friends, do a manual one footed (for more advanced/ confident skaters which takes a lot of practice and BALANCE).

Skateboarding Tips And Trick: How to Ollie

2010-12-11T01:03:00.000-08:00

1. Get comfortable with standing on and riding your skateboard before you learn how to ollie. You might want to tighten your trucks so you’ll be able to balance better.

2. Put your back foot on the tail and your front foot in the middle of your board and the front bolts. Put the ball of your back foot in the middle of the board so when push the tail down, you feel pressure on the balls of your foot.

3. Next, bend your knees and crouch, as you prepare to jump. You must be able to balance your crouch! Do not bend out your back too much or stick your butt out too far out. Keep your shoulders square and level with your feet.

4. Pop down the tail of your board with your back foot. Immediately after your board makes contact with the ground, drag your front foot toward the nose. The friction and dragging motion from your front foot and the board will cause it to rise off the ground.

5. Be sure to jump forward. Immediately after you pop, drag your front foot up and “jump forwards.” This will be tough at first, and you’ll have to practice to get the timing down.

8. After you get of the ground, you want to level out. You can do this by sucking up both of your legs.

9. Land with both feet at the same time, preferably with front and back foot as close to the bolts trucks as possible.

10. Ride away with a smile on your face. Congratulations, you just learned how to ollie!
How to Ollie Tips

1. Learn how to ollie stationary at first to get comfortable with the basics of the trick. Once you feel comfortable with the motions, you can start trying the trick moving, and then start jumping off of or on to things.

2. The most difficult part is the trick is timing when to pop the tail, when to jump, and how to suck up your legs quickly. You’ll discover that it's actually all done at the same time! Learning how to ollie will become easier when you do everything faster.

A Message from Andy Macdonald

Skateboarding has always been, first and for most, about having fun. As a professional, I've always wanted to be able to give back to the sport that has given me so much. One way to do that is to make skateboarding--fun skateboarding--more accessible to more kids. That's the idea behind Andy Mac Skateboards.

The age at which kids begin skateboarding has become much younger in the past five years. In most instances, these new skaters are not buying their boards at specialty skate shops. Rather, they get their board where their parents shop--at a discounter, mass merchandiser or a sporting goods chain. Most all skateboards found at these retailers are designed as toys, not sports equipment, meaning the quality and performance is poor, and the experience of using them not fun.

And I was getting pretty tired of seeing kids have a bad first experience on their new skateboard.

"Toy" skateboards are available just about everywhere these days and they cost about twenty bucks. Although they look like true skateboards, they definitely are not. A real skateboard turns when you want it to turn and has wheels that grip and roll smoothly. Traditionally, the only place to find such a product was in a specialty shop, where even a first-time skater must spend more than a hundred dollars for a "complete" board. That’s a lot of money for a new skater or their parent to spend--more than most can afford. That's where my brand comes in.

An Andy Mac complete costs $59.99 and is the perfect entry-level skateboard. These are real boards--the same exact board I

ride when I street skate. And I even use a modified version of this board in all my vert competitions! I spent two years developing this board with Powell Skateboards, a company that has been building skateboards for almost thirty years. The idea was that if we can build it good enough for me, it’ll be good enough for any new skater.

I want kids to have an awesome first experience skateboarding and I know my boards can provide that. My hope is that kids all over the world will discover the same fun and enjoyment I get from skateboarding every day.

So enjoy, and please let me know how you like this board. There is truly no other board on the market like it.

IPath Men's Gall Skateboarding Sneaker

2008-05-04T01:08:00.000-07:00

Product Description
New Jersey native and I Path team rider Fred Gall introduces his first pro-model shoe in this mid cut skate shoe. Fabric or sport suede upper in a technical high-top skate style. Signature Fred Gall Jersey Devil screen print embellishes the padded tongue with hidden stash pocket. Full lace up front, padded tongue with elastic keeper straps and padded collar. Velcro(R) hemp strap. Fabric lining, removable cushioned logo insole, striped vulcanized midsole. Grippy rubber outsole.

With its mixed-material upper and high profile, Ipath's Gall sneaker has a stylish street look that's great for everyday wear, but this shoe means business, too: The extra-thickly-padded collar and tongue will protect and support, and the herringbone-treaded outsole will provide excellent grip for skating. Bonus: The tongue has a hidden pocket.
