Revolutionizing How To Learn Skateboarding!

Описание: You’ve probably heard someone say work smarter not harder. But have you heard someone say skate smarter not harder. How is it that some people learn at a snails pace while others are consistently unlocking new tricks and progressing at light speed? Today I’m going to try and answer that question and show you how my answer can help you learn tricks faster.

I believe every skateboard trick requires four key ingredients I’m going to call these the four pillars of skateboarding buy my book someday!

The first pillar is POWER. Skateboard tricks demands strength and athleticism in order to 1) get our body into the air and 2) be able to manipulate the board under us before our air time runs out. Explosive power or athleticism is like the gas to your car. No matter how nice the car is without a power source it’s not going anywhere. In Skateboarding different tricks may require different foot or body positions but regardless of the differences if you can figure out how to generate sufficient power from the various foot and body positions that’ll get your foot in the door to learning whatever skateboard trick your thinking about and later I’ll show you how but for now let’s talk about pillar number 2.


Pillar number 2 is TECHNIQUE. Technique is what you do with the power you’ve created. If power is like the gas in a car then technique is the steering wheel. Without technique your skateboarding is like a car with no steering wheel. Sure the car moves but it can’t take you to your destination with the steering wheel. Technique is probably the Pillar we as skateboarders fixate on the most. This is the pillar with the least general application because every trick is different from the next but later we’ll discuss how to learn new techniques and how all the pillars work together to help your skating progress.

Pillar number 3 balance. In terms of Skateboarding balance isn’t just staying upright it’s keeping a specific part of your board centered under your body. For flip tricks it’s generally the center of the board but for manuals it’s over the axle and for grinds it can be all over the place but the point is every trick has an ideal body position above the board and understanding what it is can allow you to practice the balance without necessarily trying the trick which we’ll get into later.

If you can get enough power, the right technique and keep your body centered over the board the final pillar is Mental. You’ve heard the classic “you just need to commit!” Which is always true to some extent but if our commitment is there but our balance, power, and technique are all lacking then we’ve created a recipe for a solid slam or injury. Conversely isolating and practicing each of the first three pillars of a given trick is the key strengthen ing the mental pillar giving you confidence to commit to a trick. So how do we work on each individual pillar in order to systematically learn tricks faster? I’m glad you asked let me give you an example.
