Introduction

• My favorite sport is skateboarding.
• Sometimes you fall and sometimes you dont.
• And if your not careful you will get hurt
• And if you keep practicing you will master what
  ever trick you are tiring to land.

Landing tricks

• Some tricks are hard to learn and some tricks are
  easy to learn and land. There are all kinds of
  different tricks. Some skateboarders just make up
  there own tricks. It takes time to practice just
  keep practicing and you will land any trick you
  want.

inspiration

• People dont just skateboard for the fun and
  excitement they skate board so that it will
  inspire younger kids. So that they can see what
  there is to do in life. And so that they dont
  get in trouble or into bad habits.

Equipment

• You should always be safe and wear a helmet. If
  you want to elbow pads and knee pads. A lot of
  people dont ware knee and elbow pads but they
  protect you knees and elbows from getting
  injured. And you need a skateboard.

When it was invented

• Skateboarding was first started in the 1950s
• These first skateboarders started with wooden
  boxes or boards with roller skate wheels slapped
  on the bottom.
• It was a sport just being born and discovered, so
  anything went. But now there are rules in
  skateboarding.

7
How they were made

• The boxes turned into planks, and eventually
  companies were producing decks of pressed layers
  of wood - similar to the skateboard decks of
  today. During this time, skateboarding was seen
  as something to do for fun after surfing.
• Now the are shaped and sized differently out of
  wood.

Different ways to stand on your skateboard

• There are two different ways to ride a
  skateboard.
• The two different ways to stand on your
  skateboard are called stances - Goofy (skating
  with your right foot forward) and Regular
  (skating with your left foot forward).

Never Give up

• This page kind of sums up what I wrote about in
  the earlier pages and I think that everyone
  should at least try to skateboard once at least.
  Skateboarding is a lot of fun so (never give up
  and have a lot of---------
