How should skateboarding be introduced?
interest
Interest is important. You can be handsome if you play skateboarding well, but it is unrealistic to play skateboarding for the sake of being handsome, because the skateboarding threshold is too high and the effect is too slow. Skateboarding Club recruits 100 people in Xindu every year, but only two or three people can stay at the end of the term. Skateboarding is really, really hard. There is no end to the practice of introductory sports. Even professional skaters can't guarantee that they can do every flop, but that's their charm.
So I suggest getting to know more about it and buying an ordinary skateboard first. If you can't hold back your crazy agitation every day, turn on the computer to see if there are any video updates today, then welcome to join the skateboarding family.
Selection and purchase
I think it is more appropriate for beginners to buy a set of domestic boards first. At present, domestic brands have mushroomed, especially Taobao explosions. For example, products owned by Boiling Point and independent brands of skateboarding shops can be bought. Of course, if you have a keen interest, you can import it directly.
Domestic plates are very good at present, but there is still a gap with imported wheels and brackets. After getting started, you can buy imported plates, which need to be assembled by yourself, including plate brackets and wheels. Some people think that the brackets must be imported, while others think that the wheels should be imported, because some domestic brackets will be particularly loose or tight, some domestic wheels will not cover the bearings, and the four wheels will be unevenly worn.
For beginners, I suggest that the hard bridge is more stable, and the wheels must be hard, otherwise it will be easy to stop when landing. The imported plate surface is mainly different in shape and footwell, and the imported bracket is different in hardness and wheel grip hardness. There is no difference between good and bad, you need to experience it yourself.
practise
Skateboarding doesn't have so many rules, and everyone's posture is a little different. Starting with two basic movements, Ollie and the push, it doesn't matter whether you practice in place or run. These two moves are good enough, and the rest are waiting for you to play. There is no saying that you should practice which one first and then which one. Complex movements are made up of simple movements. The better the foundation, the better the action and the faster the action.
There are a lot of online teaching. Let's take a look at slow motion first, understand the principle of this action, and then pay more attention to the rhythm of sliding hands when doing this action at normal speed in the video. The most important thing in practicing movements is rhythm and coordination of front and back feet. Take your time. There is nothing you can't do. You must think more, shoot more videos to find out the reasons, and you can make mistakes and correct them every time.
