Have you
ever think about what are you going to do in your summer holiday? Why
don’t you try something that you have never done before? Here’s an activity
that you may like or crush into after you have try it.
Skateboarding
is an extreme sport which involves riding and performing tricks using a
skateboard. The first skateboard was born in California. The idea of building a
skateboard was came from surfing, people wanted to play surfing on a flat land
and they started with wooden board with roller skate wheels. Nowadays, there
have been designed a various skateboard using wooden or plastic, with different
patterns and shapes.

| Yeah that's me riding my board. |
You may have seen some teenagers riding their
colorful skateboards. They are called “Penny skateboard” and it set the trend
for a whole wave of skateboarding. It is a long lasting board that is made with
hard plastic and with fresh and abundant colors. The main idea to build this
type of skateboard was used as transportation. The plastic wheels can go far
while rubbing the land, and it is easy to control the direction that you wish.
But there’s a one disadvantage of playing a “Penny skateboard”, doing tricks in a “Penny skateboard’” is harder than wooden
skateboard.
Just
skateboarding on a flat land is so boring and monotonous. Now, I am going to
introduce the most simple and basic trick, “oille”. “Oille” is a trick that
make the board leap without hands. It is a fundamental trick that is used to
leap over obstacles or stairs. Tricks such as “kickflip” and “heelflip” also
depend on the trick “oille”.
Having a new
way to play skateboard using the facilities in a skate park like half-pipe and
rail, training your confidence and balance by using these facilities.
The
Disadvantage of skateboarding is too dangerous and the payment of the
skateboard is expensive. Also, parents may probably against you while you wish
to play skateboard because they may have a traditional way of thinking that skateboarding
is a bad activity which the gangsters or villains do. But skateboarding can
build up our confidence and alleviate our pressure, also as a physical
exercise. Maybe it will be your hobbies and meet some new friends afterwards.
*Skateboarding
is a hazardous sport. Be careful while you are skateboarding or it may cause
serious injury or accidents.
