My name is Chris Rushton and I am living in Calgary Alberta, Canada. My web page is under major construction, as I have alot of stuff to add to it. What bothers me the most is that everyone makes skateboarding out to be a crime instead of the sport that it is. Another thing is, we should not get fined for something we like to do. If you're ever in Calgary some good places to skate are City Hall, Board of Education, Petro-Canada Building, James Short Parkade, Eu Claire Pool, Riley Pool and Olympic plaza.
Since I'm new to the web page creation thing my page will slowly get better but for now I will have a few pictures of my friends and myself and some trick tips. Have fun reading my page and enjoy. Hey all you skateboarders, how about sending me some e-mail.
First
you need to learn kick-flips and half-cabs, AND you must be able
to land them pretty well.
Going
a speed that you feel comfortable with, ride along fakie, bend
your knees and start to fakie Ollie.
Start
to turn your body back side.
Start
the flip about halfway through the back side turn.
Catch
your board as soon as it is under your feet.
Turn
until you've rotated 180 degrees.
Land
it smooth and ride away.
Come
up to the ledge, curb, rail, at a bit of an angle.
Ollie
as high as needed
Land
with both trucks on the ledge. Your front foot should be over the
front truck and your back foot should be between the back trunk
and the tail. Don't lean to far forward or two far
backwards.
Once
you have grinded as far as you can, put pressure on the tail, lift
the nose slightly and drop off.
Make
sure you land with your knees bent.
