This is so cool! I had given up on trying to learn tricks on my skateboard because I just didn't have much luck. I'd practice for hours with my buddies, but as they got better I just stayed the same... Actually, I got worse because I'd end up tearing my knees, elbows and hands!
And just when I was gonna hang up my boards for good, I saw this cool device that has helping skaters like me learn tricks that used to be "impossible".
When I first saw them, I was like, "Dude, what the hell...??" But then I saw them in action by some noob skater, and he was rockin' it big time. They are an actual product called SkaterTrainers. I spent a few minutes talking with the kid and he gave me the run-down on them, told me about how they work, how long he had been using them, what they cost, and how they helped him. But the real proof was when he showed me what he could do. He said after two days he perfected his Ollie. And then in another two days, his Kick Flip was golden!
It works by stabilizing the board so it doesn't roll or fly away after each practice attempt. That is HUGE!!! It will save me TONS of time and effort if I don't have to chase my board every time I execute. They come in a set of 4 and just slip over the wheels of the board.
It looks kinda funky, but I can live with that if makes me better.I just ordered a set and can't wait for them to arrive so that I can learn to do stuff like this...
