Hey, this is skate tips #2!
how to ride your skateboard.
first step is to find if you are regular or goofy, Regular use the left foot as the front foot.
Goofy uses their right foot as the front foot. I'm regular
Step my front foot first, padle and put my back foot on the board.
It's important to always bend your knee a litle.
If you want to turn right, press the right part of the board, and left, the left part.
When making turns it's very important to look where you want to go.
While downhill, you will need to control your speed
You can make carves (turn from one side to the other of the hill, slowing the board down).
You can also use your hands, making a "chair". Put your left hand in the nose and the right on the street.
And right hand on the shape and left on the street.
A commum mistake is to grab the board beetwen the legs. It's unstable and very ugly.
Another way is the foot break. The front foot points to the hill and the back foot slides on the ground.
The disadvantage is that you burn your shoes, The advantage is that you break without turns.
