Having Fun on a Skateboard
If you’re looking for a new hobby, you should check out skateboarding. If you already have a skateboard, then it’s time to learn some fun things you can do with it. Read on and you will soon know more.
Before doing the fun things that I have put together below, it’s important for you to acquire all the proper safety equipment required for skateboarding. As a skateboarder, you should make safety your priority. If you don’t wear the right equipment, there is a chance that you may never skate again.
Skateboards are great because they can be used almost anywhere. Indoors and outdoors, up hills, down hills, and on flat ground. They’re simple to use, too. Just hop on and go. Skateboarding is the ultimate freedom.
Skateboard ramps are plenty of fun. They can be made without much effort – a classic ramp is just a board stacked up on some objects. A safer alternative is to construct a ramp entirely from wood. Cut a two by four piece of wood diagonally, and nail a piece of plywood to the pieces. Instant ramp!
Street curbs are a classic object that skateboarders skate on. They’re almost like a wave, if you can ride them properly. It’s a lot of fun to ride up and down the street, pumping off the curbs to keep you going.
The curbs are great fun because they’re like a mini skateboard park. You can practice your tricks on them, and jump off them for some big air. You can even jump onto them from the street, like a little gap.
When I was young, my friends and I made things dangerous by jumping over each other with the ramp we made. I can’t recommend this, because it’s just so dangerous. However, we did have lots of fun finding objects to stack, and then trying to gap those.
Speaking of gaps, we used to play a game where you stack up your skateboard and then your friends ollie over it. If someone doesn’t make it, then they add their board to the pile. This keeps going until there’s only one person left, and this person is the winner.
If you don’t have any friends to go skateboarding with, you should head over to the skatepark nearest you. The skatepark is a great place to meet other friendly skaters, who will probably enjoy playing skateboarding games with you.
There are many ways to have fun with your skateboard. You’re certainly not limited to what has been listed here. The best thing you can do is to go outside and brainstorm while you skate. Don’t forget your safety equipment!
