For The Beginners

I have compiled this list of past blog posts in order to better help you on your journey to becoming a better skater.  The next few links will enable you to have the basic essentials for skateboarding.  These essentials include:
Skate Park Etiquette,
Skater Survival Pack
Where To Purchase Skate Materials
These past articles which I have written are the essentials for when you first start to skate board.  The articles explain how you should act a skate park, materials to bring to the skate park with you, where you should purchase these materials, and the best skate parks in IL where you probably will want to visit.  After mastering the basics, you will want to move onto tricks.  In order to enable you to do these tricks I suggest reading these articles:
How To Board Slide
After reading these articles and diligently practicing these tricks you should be well on your way to becoming a great skater.  The thing to remember about skate boarding is that it takes a very long time to learn these tricks and maneuvers do not get discouraged if you do not pick these tricks and concepts up right off the bat.  I happen to be one the most uncoordinated individuals ever and I have managed to become a pretty decent skate boarder.  Also injuries in the sport are very common so make sure that you take the necessary precautions in order to save yourself from any unneeded agony.  Also, if you do get hurt take enough time to heal before stepping on the board.  Personally, I just got off a three month injury in regards to my knee.  The worst thing you can possibly do is push yourself to hard coming out of an injury and getting re-injured.
