How to do a Boneless in Skateboarding

Video Transcript

"We're going to talk about a simple street trick a fundamental of skateboarding called the boneless. The boneless is simply running with the skateboard, lifting it up with one hand and jumping on it and riding away. While it's not a very advanced trick, it will prepare you for landing after making high ollies and get you in the practice of traveling straight and compressing your knees when landing. What you want to do is take a few steps, lift the board in front of you as if it would be in a position where you would stand on it, then jump on the board, level it out in the air, compress your legs and roll away as you would in an ollie. Let's demonstrate. With practice you can make your bonelesses even higher. This will prepare you for ollieing higher and for landing on higher objects when you do learn how to ollie. Let's try another boneless let's try to make this one a little higher. Just remember the key to the boneless just like the key to the ollie is compressing your legs. When you land, this will stabilize the board, add style to your tricks and keep you from getting injured."
