skateboarding

some 1 shuld come talk about the greatist sport.

This is what I roll on. I've been at it for about 4 months now...It's so fun.

If you can find a long down-hill with not much traffic, you'll be loving the carves you can do. The only problem with the board is that the wheels don't last very long, especially the back wheel. The nature of the self-propulsion means that this is something you just have to accept. I usually go through a set of wheels every 2 weeks. If the weather is hot, then you can halve that time. It burns rubber, duuuuuuuuuuuuude.

thats pretty cool.

Hmph, I've been searching all over for a skating thread and couldn't find one. No wonder, the last post was posted over a year ago.... rolleyes1

Anyway, I'm quite amateur and would like some advice....

make sure you have good balance or you're screwed.

if you wanna get serious, have no fear. try whatevers out there and learn to fall.

Yes, have good balance, and don't try to do tricks that you know your not ready or aren't able to do, and skate everyday.

Thanks, there aren't any skateparks here though, so it's gonna be quite some time before I can really get in some serious practice. But I wanna get really good. I hope to be able to do major street and vert tricks eventually.
