At Skateboard Basics, our mission is to help make skateboarding more accessible and welcoming to beginners of all ages. We believe skateboarding is not only an incredible way to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors, but also a vibrant culture filled with creativity, self-expression, and community.
However, we know that getting started on a skateboard for the first time can be intimidating. Our team consists of experienced skaters who remember those early days of constantly eating pavement and feeling like we’d never land a simple ollie.
That’s why we’ve created this online resource – to share our hard-earned knowledge and help demystify the process of learning to skate. From choosing your first board, to step-by-step trick tips, to overcoming fears, to skating safety and etiquette, we cover it all through detailed guides and video tutorials.
Our goal is to equip beginner skaters with the foundational skills and confidence needed to progress their skateboarding journey. We believe if you stick with it, this incredible sport can enrich your life mentally and physically in so many ways.
So don’t be intimidated by the roads and parks full of talented riders. Skateboarding has a chill, supportive community at its core. Let Kondo be your guide from taking those first tentative pushes to rolling away from your latest slams with a smile.
Skateboarding is for everyone – join the eternal pursuit of catching air and landing that next trick! Let’s roll.
