Slap gravity, not your tail!

skateboardingHave you ever seen a skater ollie, but without slapping their tails to get a pop? It seems magic-just a hop, and the Executive Board remains glued to the bottom of the skater's feet! Rodney Mullen does this all the time in his skateboarding videos, and it looks like the easiest thing in the world.
So, how does it work?
Well, the trick is usually in the front foot, and while it might look easy, you should see your Ollie mastered before you try insulting of gravity. Gravity can be a jerk of an enemy! So, first learn how to ollie, Ollie skaters can then read without slapping their tails on the ground?

New Guards protect your laces of you

element Slays skateboarding shoe laces. It simply does. It also kills your shoes, your deck, the town of uprisings and terrorism. But today, I'm talking ' bout laces!
A technical trick you do implies you sliding the side of your shoe-Office of the Council, and times from bits of shoe laces with your deck of sandpapery grip tape. This is a huge problem, and solutions are limited! You can mess about the affected area with Shoe-Goo, you can tie the laces on and re-if they break, you can try duct tape (which doesn't work so well), or you can simply replace your laces over and over again. Check out the what should you do about torn laces FAQ for more ideas.
I just came across another possible solution-Flauge ELTZ. These are small plastic-ish clip-things around the lower part of your laces, to help protect them against getting carried away align. They look cool and come in 4 colors, and are cheap ($ 5 a set). Some skate shoes come with an additional valve which do the same, but many non-and even with those who do, often flap comes ground road. Take a look at the and see what you think, Flauge website, post a comment below!
