8 Skateboarding Safety Tips

Published on July 23, 2008 by Guest Author

skaterman

If you were to ask me for a few skateboarding safety tips I would say…

1. Skate within your level. This means that you should know your limits. If you don’t know how to drop in yet, don’t try to skate the half pipe. If you can’t ollie well, then don’t try to skate stairs. Skating within your own skill level is the best tip for safety.

2. Gradually advance. This goes along with the first tip. Work up to ollieing over four boards by first trying two and then three. Work on variel flip before trying to learn how to do a 360 flip. Skate the four foot ramp, then the six, then the eight. It sounds like common sense, but a lot of times people get into “the zone” and forget what’s safe for them.

3. Know your limit. It’s fine to push yourself hard when you’re skating. It helps you get better overall. You need to know your limit however. If you have tried about a hundred times to land a kickflip on a new stairs set, just give it a break. Those stairs probably wont be going anywhere soon. Remember to rest when you’re tired.

4. Wear your helmet and pads. Some skate parks don’t enforce pads rules. It’s skate at your own risk. That sentence alone should be enough to make you want to wear pads. It is risky to skate without them. I don’t care if it’s not the cool thing or if your favorite pro doesn’t wear them. Most likely, you are not a pro skateboarder. You should wear pads and a helmet anytime you are trying something you are not 100 percent sure of.

5. Keep hydrated. Sounds silly, but dehydration leads to a lot of accidents. Not only that, but it can be bad for your body in the long run too. And, if that’s not enough, you skate better and are more flexible when properly hydrated! So always bring along a water bottle or two.

6. Examine the spot you’re about to skate. Make sure there are no rocks where you’ll be skating. Check for glass, the streets where I grew up were filthy and littered with broken glass. Sweep up that stuff. You don’t want to have to remove rocks from your hands and elbows. Keep an eye out for rusty nails and metal pieces, etc…

7. Skate during the day. It’s hard to see at night. When it’s dark, you won’t be able to skate as well. You won’t land tricks as often and this can lead to more bails and falls. You also can see other skaters better during the day. If you’re at a park at night, there’s a good chance of running into someone else on their skateboard.

8. Be aware of the temperature. If it’s hot out, make sure you have drinks ready. If it’s cold, bring gloves and a beanie. Don’t stay out too long in the cold. You might think your body is fine, because you’re feeling warm and producing heat. You can develop serious health issues from cold weather. Extreme temperatures are dangerous. Heat stroke and frost bite are seriously potential problems. It doesn’t matter what age you are either.

I hope these skateboarding safety tips have given you some insight into safety on your skateboard.

Although these are great tips, there’s no way to completely eliminate risk from skateboarding. Many consider it an extreme sport for a reason. It has obvious dangers. Trust me, getting hurt doesn’t make skateboarding more fun. So skate smart and safely and you will have a good time.

Conquering Your Skateboarding Fears

Published on April 1, 2008 by admin

Are you the kind of person who likes to try everything?

You don’t want any experience in life to pass you by?

You’ve yet to find anything that’s too exciting, too hard, or too dangerous for you?

Do you consider yourself a real extreme sports enthusiast?

Some may consider you crazy, reckless, or irresponsible, but you probably see it as strong, adventurous, and brave!

skateboarding lip slideMaybe you were the first kid on the block to get a skateboard. You played around with it in the driveway for endless hours all summer long. Figuring out whether you were regular or goofy-footed, trying to start and stop and push off without killing yourself, and maybe even traveling down the street to a friend’s house.

Then, one day, you saw another opportunity. Maybe your friend suggested that you go to the local skate park. And then, it was all over…..watching the amazing moves of the older kids, riding the pipes, catching air, all kinds of twists and turns……you just had to know how to do that.

Practice Makes Perfect

So, home you went to learn how to Ollie, carve, bail, grind, and more.

Hours and hours and hours of practice, and many skinned knees and elbows later, you were starting to find your way with the skateboard and master a few simple tricks.

You’ve figured out exactly how to break down the moves into smaller steps, and build them together into spectacular displays. Those simple tricks quickly turned into big ones, with your endless practice and rehearsal.

Now for the big show!

Now You Can Impress Your Friends Even More!

You’re probably wishing that you could watch your own stunts and tricks. Everyone has told you how cool they are.

When you record your entire stunt or trick from start to finish using a helmet cam and mini-DVR, you can not only replay it for yourself again and again, but your friends and family who aren’t lucky enough to witness it directly will be amazed at how exciting your skateboard tricks are.

Give them a bird’s-eye view of everything that you see while you ride the rails and catch your major air.

The new helmet cams, or bullet cams, attach securely to your helmet, and the mini-DVR fits into a pocket. This allows you to have both hands completely free, and to concentrate on your tricks. Just start the camera rolling before you begin, and the entire event is recorded. Play back the video footage on your PC or television after easily downloading the recording.

Have No Fear!

The hard part is done, you’re ready to display your skills………you’re going to want to see this one again!

Use the new helmet cam with mini-DVR and you’ll be able to not only watch it again, but fine-tune your moves to make them even more daring and exciting.

You were the first kid on the block to try the skateboard, now you’ll be the first one to be using a hands-free helmet cam to record every second!
