Culture: DIY Roots and Respect

Skateboarding grew from garage ramps and street missions. Respect the spot, take turns, and back each other up — progression is a crew sport.

Spots: Street, Park, and Bowl

  • Street: Ledges, rails, stairs, manuals — the city is your canvas.
  • Parks: Flow lines, hips, and spines built for progression.
  • Bowls/Pools: Carve, grind, and pump for speed without pushing.

Gear: Board, Trucks, Wheels, Shoes

Deck width matches feel and shoe size; trucks should fit deck width; wheel duros trade grip for speed; skate shoes with reinforced ollie areas last longer.

Foundation: Balance, Push, and Ollie

Master stance, smooth push, and stable stops. The ollie unlocks manuals, ledges, and stair sets — practice timing, pop, and slide.

Safety and Etiquette

Warm up, fall smart, and give way. Helmets and pads help you skate longer; wax respectfully and clean up the spot.

Quick Tips to Progress

  • Reps over perfection: Short, focused tries build muscle memory.
  • Film yourself: Spot posture and timing tweaks.
  • Skate with friends: Feedback and stoke accelerate learning.
  • Maintain gear: Fresh bearings and wheels keep speed alive.
