Rebounding from an injury

Posted by tj in Tips on March 16th, 2009

skateboarding-smallHave you, for some reason or another, spent time off of your board and feel like you lost the ability to ride?  Skateboarding is just like anything else, the more you do it the better you get, the less you do it the more you lose. So, what should you do if you can’t ride for an extended period of time?

The first thing I would say is don’t worry about it, it’s not the end of the world. I have had a few times where the time spent off of the board actually helped me lose some bad habits.

When you are finally on your board, ease into your riding. You can not pick up where you left off. This is important to remember for two reasons. The first is that you will probably hurt yourself the second is that you will probably end up disappointed.

When the time comes to ride again, start slow and go with the tricks you are comfortable with. Cursing around doing ollies and 180s may not seem like a ton of fun but after an injury you would be surprised. By sticking with the tricks you know your self esteem begins to build and your muscle memory begins to come back. After a day of landing every thing you tried you would be surprised how good you feel. Before you know it you will be back to where you were prior to the short absence.

What would you like to see from this site?

Posted by tj in Uncategorized on March 12th, 2009

The incentive for anyone visiting this site is the free board and I am fine with that I hope it attracts a ton of people and I hope we can give a ton more away. However, for that to be a reality this site needs to become more then just reoccurring giveaways.  What else would you guys like to see from this site? Forums? Reviews? What?

This site is for you by you so what ever direction you would like it to take please let us know. Add a comment or send an email to tj[at]skateboardingcom.com.

Perhaps you could share what you appreciated from other websites…

Cheers,
TJ

How the drawing will work

Posted by tj in Uncategorized on March 10th, 2009

After all 50 entries are received I will determine the winner with a random number generator. Each entry will be given a numeric value between 1 and 50, this number will correspond with where you sit on the list which is in chronological order.

Again I would like to remind everyone that only complete entries will be accepted.

Thanks,
TJ
