Skateboarding is my favourite activity. It is a very difficult activity for many people to master. It can also cause a lot of injuries, including broken bones, as you can fall and hit the concrete.
However, I love skateboarding because I like learning new skills that make me happy. Riding my skateboard with my friends is really fun! Skateboarding is similar to snowboarding so, if you can master one, you can probably master the other quite easily.
I have provided some instructions for people who are new to skateboarding or who would like to try it.
Instructions:
Stand on the skateboard with both feet next to each other a little bit far apart.
Balancing can be a little hard for a beginner, so first just practice standing on the skateboard for balance.
Keep your arms natural and relaxed.
Move one foot off the skateboard.
Then, push the skateboard with your foot on the concrete.
To stop moving on the skateboard, move one foot off the skateboard and let it touch the concrete and slide.
Enjoy!
