Want to Really Enjoy Your Exercise? Try Skateboarding!

Health, is a big concern among most Americans. If one wants good health, you must exercise daily in order to gain/maintain good health. Diet also plays a big role in ones health. You must have a healthy diet and exercise daily for best results in health.

Sports are a fun way to exercise as you may do this with friends or family, and when you play sports, you don't even recognize it as a hassle! A few sports a lot of people enjoy are football, soccer, and baseball. There are also a few extreme sports you can take part in if your daring! Extreme sports will make your heart race, and not just because you are working had. Once you get hooked on the adrenaline rush though, your exercise routine will never seem like work again! These activities include Skateboarding, BMX, and Free running (also known as parkour). Although these sports give you the benefits of exercise, they are dangerous! So when skateboarding and riding your bike, you must make sure to wear a helmet, and pads if necessary. In this article we will be focusing on the basics of skateboarding. Some things that are required in skateboarding are, a skateboard, a helmet, and flat ground.

Beginner Trick Skateboard

When you first learn how to skateboard you must first get a feeling of standing, and riding a skateboard. Then, the first trick you would probably learn, is an ollie. An ollie is a trick, where you pop the tail with your back foot, and slide in a rolling motion, with your front foot. This trick will take a while to learn, but you will need to keep practicing, as this is the essential, of skateboarding. I recommend looking on YouTube to learn the basics of the ollie and the basics of skateboarding. The second trick that beginners usually learn, is the shuv-it. The Shuv-it is when the board rotates 180 degrees. The trick is to use your back foot, to scoop the board, giving it the rotation you need. An easier alternative to doing this trick is to ride the skateboard backwards, which is called "fakie", and then preform a shuv-it. Tricks preformed in the fakie position are typically easier than tricks preformed normally. The ultimate keys to skateboarding, are practice, practice, and practice. And also you must understand that you are not going to land every trick you attempt every time.
