Skateboarding Tips for Beginners

Video Transcript

"Hi are you doing there this is Simon Bingham we are chilling at the No Comply skateboard shop in Austin, Texas. I'm going to give you a few tips for beginners starting skateboard. Basically the first thing you want to know right off the bat is that this does involve getting hurt. You will fall down. So if that deters you at all, then maybe skateboarding is not for you. But pretty much any sport you get hurt so. You know might as well give skateboarding a try right. The next you are going to want to do is basically get a skateboard that matches your body type. Height, width, you know weight all of that. And most importantly is to make sure that the board is the right width for your feet. Because if you got really big feet it's hard to ride around on a really skinny board. Or vice a versa. If you got little feet, you don't want to ride something that's too big. And you want to make sure that it's relatively light and easy to ride around and that's basically a few tips for people that are just beginning in skateboarding."
