Where can you get a skateboard?

I think the most important thing is to define what you mean by skateboard coach. Do you mean someone to help a young skater with the actual act of Skateboarding, or more of the how-to-get-started-in-skateboarding-for-a-career type of coach?

Both will be somewhat hard to find in any legitimate sense, simply because part of the allure of skateboarding is that, simply put, there are no coaches.

Which way do you attach the trucks to a skateboard?

But some bolts if you havnt already and just put them through the eight holes in the skateboard face down, (do each truck individually) then put the trucks on >>>>>>MAKE SURE THE BUSHINGS ARE ON THE INSIDE!!!!!!!<<< If not when you try to go left your board will go right, vice versa. Then finnaly put the bolts onto the srews so the trucks are sanwitched between the bolts and the deck and your done. But make sur the bushings ae on the inside!!!!!!

In skateboarding what is a jump into the air by stamping on tail of board called?

Step One

Stand on the board with your rear foot placed on the tail and your front foot between the middle of your board and the front bolts.

Step 2

Place the ball of your rear foot in the middle of the board so that when you push the tail down, the ball of your foot feels the pressure.

Step 3

Place your front foot nearly straight across the board.

Step 4

Practice pushing down as fast as you can with your back foot and putting all your weight on the tail. This is the initial motion of the trick.

Step 5

Notice that the harder you push, the more your board wants to keep going up once the tail is on the ground. You will use that motion in the next step.

Step 6

Strike the tail on the ground and jump off with your rear foot as you slide your front foot up the board (so your knee moves toward your chest).

Step 7

Drag the side of your foot up the board as you are jumping. This will cause the board to come up with your jump. Once both feet are in the air, the board will seem to stick to them.

Step 8

Come back down

How do you ride a longboard?

Longboard skateboarding is form of surfing and snowboarding combined. With the fast flow and rhythm of surfing and the hard griding surface of pavement and carving turns of snowboarding. To ride one, you must combine these two with you confidence to succeed. Once all three are combined, put both feet facing perpendicular to the longboard... maybe angled a little foreward for comfort. Face down the hill and begin the roll. Now, moving at a rapidly accelerating speed, start leaning to one side putting emphasis on the front foot, either the toes or the heel depending on the side you are turning to. then coming to one side of the street switch the weight to the heel or toe,(the side opposite of the one you were on) use this technique to carve the whole width of the street. If you start gaining too much speed deepen your turns and make them sharper by putting more weight to the side ure turning.
