Skateboarding is A Form of Exercise

Skateboarding is an alternate form of getting your workout.

Sometimes, we only see the traditional forms of exercise such as jogging, running or even working out in a gym. However when you consider the form of skateboarding, this is also another unique way to get your heart rate up and your calories burnt.

Naturally this is a fantastic form of entertainment among those in the younger age group, and will bring memories to others. It can be seen as well as an extreme sport as the technicality evolves as the skateboarder becomes more proficient in their craft. The easy chat with a skateboarder lets you know that not only is it a physical form of exercise but also a mental one as well.

In this article we will only consider the beginner and how to possibly get started. It is always good to engage a mentor or someone who is a bit of an expert.


As a beginner, skate boarding may seem easy while watching someone else, and can be overwhelming at first. The addiction usually comes from being able to repeat a trick many times. You tend to also continually prepare to learn new moves or tricks and this keeps you as well as the spectators interested while skateboarding.

Many people are searching for tips to perfect their Ollies and Kick-flips to compete with friends to show how much more talented they are than their friends.

The latest tricks in skate boarding can leave a person exhausted.

The following information is about skate boarding tricks as well as a few tips. By reading these tips, this does not guarantee a person will learn the trick. This takes a lot of patience for one to master skateboarding.


Step One:

Think First – Think about a trick and how you are going to duplicate it or actually do it. It’s strongly suggested to think about how the board moves and how you will perform the actual trick. Afterwards, think about how you are going to move your legs and feet to make the board perform its magic.

Then pick out a stance and try the trick a few times.


Step Two:

If you did not learn the trick in step number one. Don’t worry at all because it is no big surprise to fail in beginning. In fact what we may consider a failure may actually be just a short step in our effort.

Remember this is also a form of exercise and while trying to learn the technique – you are still exercising. Try again by thinking about you and your skate board and compare it to how you want your trick to work for you.

If the board flipped too much, then try not to kick it too hard.


Step Three:

Trying step 2 over and over again will help you learn it a lot faster. In other words – repeat step one!

If you fail at the beginning, try it again because with pure determination and perseverance you will eventually learn to master the trick. If you are not getting close to step two, it may be that you must practice a more basic trick. Please don’t skate beyond your ability because we are all not the same and everyone will not progress at the same speed.

Remember your feet and your legs coordination as well as your breathing will start to synchronize.


Remember that skate boarding is supposed to be fun.

Do not burn yourself out by getting overly frustrated. Like the old manta – try and try again. Learn one or two tricks at a time and not too many tricks at once. To be a great skate boarder, just skate, have fun, and remember that tricks are not always instant.
