My 20% Group Project Skateboarding Trick Tips.#1

 

 

My group and I are going to work on doing trick tips for people who are trying to learn to do tricks. We are going to make videos 1-2 minutes long of a trick and we are going to show you step by step how to do it. The first trick tip we will show you is how to do a ollie, and a kick-flip for our first video. We will try soon as possible to post it up. We will also show you how to set up your own complete skateboard. We will also show you professional trick tips done by a pro skateboarder. We'll also show you how to do tricks on a rail like a board-slide. Me and my group will try our best to show you guys how to do tricks and give you tips about skateboarding.
