Skateboarding is fun

  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.
