Flip 4 Life Flip 4 Life How To Ollie Get on your skateboard with your back foot on the tail and your front foot in about the middle of the board. push back on your back foot and quickly slide your front foot up on the board and push down. If you don't get it in the first week don't get discouraged. Just keep trying. Finding The Board You will need a good baoard but dont get a expensive one until you are a little better. Our segustions for a first board are Blind or Baker. When your more experienced you can go with Flip, Enjoi, or Girl. As you get better, you will realize what you like the best. For tucks we highly recomend either Royal, Venture, or Independent. Whether you believe it or not wheels and bearing matter so for wheels we suggest Ricta and for bearings we seggest Reds or Lucky. Griptape isn't extreamly important so anything will do. Shock pads or risers aren't nessecary but for for smoother landings get some. Lucky is our preference. Hardware is the screws, bolts, etc. and are also not really important but Lucky is very dependible. Where To Look Good skateshops aren't hard to find but in our opinion 9star and District are the two we really prefer. 9star also has a great little skatepark but only members can enter. To become a member all you have to do is get a parent signature and $20. You get to skate in the skatepark and you get discounts. It is also a great place to hang out after school because they have a computer for music and a PS2 with Tony Hawk Underground 2. Online is never a bad place either. Skatewharehouse.com or Google search skateboards.
