"How you doing there? I'm Simon Bingham. This is No Comply Skateboard Shop in Austin Texas and I'm going to tell you how to do a handstand on a skateboard. First of all you want to put the skateboard a little bit ahead of you. And then kind of eye it out and take a couple steps, and so that you have a little momentum when you put your hands down on the; you want to put them right over each bolt so you don't have the one hand on the tail or one hand on the nose because that'll send you down right away. So basically you want to put your hands landing right on top of the bolts of the skateboard and then lock up and hold your handstand like as if you were handstanding on a bar or something like that. And hold your handstand up and bring your feet back down when you lose balance. And that's basically how you do a handstand on a skateboard."
