WHAT IS SKATEBORDING?

 
  Skateboarding is a sport that consists of sliding on a table with wheels and in turn can perform a variety of tricks, much of them raising the floorboard and making figures and tricks with it in the air.
 This may be a simple definition but the perfect definition for those who practice it is more than a sport. It is the moment of life when you realize that you can do great things and that life has no limits .. it is a passion.

Alana became the youngest X Games medalist in history when she took silver at age 12 in Women's Park at Barcelona 2013. Since then, she's established herself as a rising force. Her go-for-broke approach to contests can be risky, but there are rewards: She was the first woman to land a McTwist in a vert comp, and she won best trick at the Kimberley Diamond Cup Mini Mega contest in fall 2014 with a backflip, beating the men. In 2015, she collected wins at the prestigious Girls Combi Classic and Vert Attack 9. She says she's trying to be more consistent, so look for her to add a second X Games medal.

The gold came after earning silver at both Austin 2014 & 2015; she's the most consistent skater in the women's game right now. Growing up in a poor family in Brazil, skateboarding is helping better her family's status. She's shy, and the attention she's garnering (she already has more than 41,000 Instagram followers) is a bit intimidating. But competing sure doesn't intimidate her, and she has a nice bag of flip tricks, including her favorite, a backside double flip. The teen will graduate from high school in Nov. 2016).

TRICKS DIFFICULT

360 FLIP
 A 360 flip (also known as tre-flip) is sometimes called "the best skateboard trick" because they look so geniales.Un 360 is basically a combination of a kickflip and 360 shove-it. They can be a little difficult to master, because the calculation must be accurate.
     Place your feet in position kickflip, then move your front foot back so that it is in the center of the table. Let the fingers of your back foot protruding from the edge of the table.

 

HARDFLIP

 A hardflip is a pretty difficult trick, as the name implies. It is essentially a kickflip frontside pop shove-it.
  Start with your front bolts behind the table, fingers pointing almost directly toward the front foot. Place your back foot on the back of the table, with the heel protruding from the rear edge. Try to balance on the balls of your two feet as this will cause the execution of the trick easier.
     Raise the floorboard, then slide simultaneously your back foot forward to rotate the frontside table (like a frontside shove-it) and use your front foot to flip the table (as in a kickflip).

TRICKS

KICKTURN
 The kickturn basically involves leaning back on the table to lift the front wheels off the ground and make a 180 degree turn.
This allows you to give a very quick and accurate rotation can be done on the floor or on a ramp.
It is a good basis for more advanced tricks.

 NOLLIE

 A Nollie is a variation of the ollie, which basically involves raising the floor the front of the skateboard to jump, instead of the back. Once you've mastered the ollie, the Nollie will be easy to learn.
  To make a Nollie, place your front foot on the front of the table and place your back foot in the middle of the axes. Crouch, then jump, raising the floor the front of the table with force.

MANUAL
 
A manual is almost like doing a wheelie bike, where you lean back and lift the ground the front wheels of the skateboard while still rolling.
  The manuals have much to do with balance, so take some time to put your feet in the right position. Place your back foot on the back of the table (almost covering it) and place your front foot just behind the front axle.

180 
 180 is basically an ollie where you and your board rotate 180 degrees in the air, landing on switch or fakie. This is one of the most difficult basic tricks, so you must have mastered the ollies and kickturns before trying it.

BASIC TRICKS I

OLLIE

Basically it is based on chopping (jump) on the tail Tricks Basics Skatey drag the front foot to the Nose for estabilisar the table. This trick is one of the most complicated to learn at first, but after much practice will have great results !!

POP SHUVIT
 
This trick is to drag the back foot (like making a '' taco '' in football) and jump forward to fall on the table. This is the 1st Fliptrick that deves learn as you get used to leave the table and then jump down!

KICK FLIP 
The trick is to click on the tail, drag the front foot diagonally to the left, is similar to ollie but one that is different kick !!

HEEL FLIP
 Identical to the previous but the kick to the other side but giving the kick, you try to hit him with the heel (not exactly but it helps to turn the table) !!

 I HOPE THAT THEY HAVE SERVED, basically practice and dedication. Do not worry if you do not succeed PRONTO PRACTICE AND NEVER GIVE UP .. THE WAIT FOR THE NEXT TRICKS..
