1, skateboard selection:

This is the most important tool for skateboarding, which can be divided into professional and non-professional. Do not buy toy boards, which is very dangerous. Toy boards are irregular and easy to fall, resulting in poor experience.

2, skateboarding shoes:

The quality of skateboarding shoes is also very important for a skater.

Strength of board shoes: The soles and uppers of skateboarding shoes are made of polyurethane, and the uppers are made of thick suede leather, which is more wear-resistant. Pay attention to the position of the shoes you usually use when Ollie takes the board, and try to avoid the shoes with wiring in these positions when choosing shoes, so as to prevent the board shoes from being scrapped prematurely because of off-line.

Comfort of board shoes: "For some skaters with delicate skills, they prefer to use relatively thin board shoes. The soles of these shoes are relatively thin, but they usually have thick insoles or insoles with air cushions. The leather used in the uppers is relatively soft, so you can clearly feel the sand on the board sticking to your feet when you do the action. However, skaters who are more active generally choose thicker skateboard shoes. For example, the sole has an air cushion or an oil pad, and the tongue is thick, which makes it feel more foot-bound.

3, protective gear:

Skateboard protective gear includes helmet, knee pads, wrist pads (elbow pads), etc. It is recommended for beginners or for difficult movements. Generally, protective gear is required in competitions.

Helmet: A high-quality helmet is your most important safety device. If you don't wear a helmet when skateboarding, you can recover from scratches and sprains quickly, but the head injury will greatly affect your later life.

Kneepads: The most significant thing for kneepads is the invention of plastic kneepads.

Gloves: Skateboarding gloves come in many shapes and sizes. In the United States and Japan, some people use motorcycle gloves as skateboarding gloves, while others use gardening gloves instead. The ideal gloves are suitable for your hands and can protect your palms from injury when you fall.

Wrist protector (elbow protector): Like knee protector, wrist protector with plastic brim is the best wrist protector, and there are many substitutes with the same function.

Extended data:

Skateboarding skills:

The board is under your feet, and the danger is on your body. Friends who play board can't live without board, let alone fall. Beginners, in particular, are still unfamiliar with the board, and it is still difficult to control the center of gravity. If you are not careful, you will hurt others. There are the following points that need special attention:

First, if you are a beginner, please read more basic action materials, video articles, etc. before boarding the board.

Second, when beginners generally fall, the center of gravity is unstable. If they lose their center of gravity when sliding, simply follow the center of gravity and press the end or tail of the board hard with your feet, so that the end or tail of the board can be wiped to an emergency stop.

Third, if you do technical actions such as flying to the ground, and when falling is difficult to avoid, try to bend your body, tighten your neck and stretch up away from the ground.

Fourth, it is suggested that if you play board, you'd better bring protective gear, especially beginners, so don't bother.

Mentality:

During skateboarding practice, there are many problems that belong to mentality:

1, first of all, you should know that skateboarding is difficult, which is why you choose skateboarding, because you decide to challenge yourself. If you are the kind of personality who can't accept challenges, maybe you should consider giving up.

2, practice frequently, the ground is best to be flat without edges, and the frequency is high.

3. Don't be afraid of losing face. Beginners should concentrate on their own practice. Just be careful not to bump into people or get in the way of others. As for what others think of you, it doesn't matter.
