Summary: The sport of skateboarding is a far cry from its humble beginnings in the suburbs of a 1950s America. The skateboard started as nothing more than a wooden plank with wheels. We can now thank the radical, perception-altering influence of the 1960s for the increased popularity and production of skateboards. Certainly still holding some cache as an activity with instant street cred even today, skateboarding has been passed on to a third generation of shredders and grinders, who have taken the sport to a whole new level.

If you decide that you’d like to take up thy skateboard and ride, you have to learn how to do some tricks. Once you’ve figured out how to stay up on the board and keep your balance, you’ll need to learn how to ollie, a fundamental skateboarding trick. We do have a video series on that as well. In this particular series, learn how to do a boardslide, which is when you ollie up onto a rail or other object and slide across it on your board. Our expert skater will show you step-by-step how to do this trick, and then teach you how to put it all together. Also learn some techniques you can do to add a little style to the trick and make it your own.
