Tips for Becoming a Better Skateboarder
Although it looks easy, dropping in on a ramp in a skateboard park is not a very easy thing to do. If you haven't done drop ins before, try attempting them and you will see how difficult they are to do and there is a high chance that you will just end up with your body sprawling down below with your skateboard flying off across the ramp.
So, if you don't want to make a fool out of yourself or worse, spend time in the hospital, you will want to know about the basics for doing drop ins properly.
First of all, you need to remember that safety is everything. Always wear your safety equipment whenever you are skateboarding. Even pros wear safety equipment.
The drop in doesn't necessarily take a lot of skill. However, beginner skateboarders will tend to get nervous whenever they attempt to drop in on the ramp. This means that their body will tense up which will force them to shift their weight and eventually fall.
Drop ins are basically what skateboarders do to enter bowls or the vert ramp. This will allow the skateboarder to instantly gain a lot of speed and get big air to perform their tricks.
If you are just a beginner, you first need to get comfortable riding your skateboard by riding on the ground around the park.
Dropping in won't necessarily mean that you need to know a few skateboard tricks, but it just means that you should know how to ride your skateboard comfortably and with proper balance.
You have to remember that once you've dropped in, there is no turning back. You will gain a lot of speed at a very fast rate. So, you will need to know how to be comfortable riding your skateboard.
To drop in, the first thing that you need to do is check out the ramp. If it's too big, start off with mini ramps. This will not necessarily give you a lot of speed, but it will be good for practicing.
After checking out the ramp, set the tail of the board on the coping which is the edge of the ramp. Hold the board with your back foot by stepping on the tail. If you are ready to go, place your front foot just behind the nose or just above the front trucks of the skateboard. Then shift your weight forward and stomp your front foot and let gravity do the rest.
As mentioned before, there is no need for you to know different tricks when dropping off a ramp. Just get good balance and you will also need a bit of guts and will.

Skateboarding Alternatives
No, I'm not telling you to stop skateboarding and switch to another sport. What I mean with skateboarding alternatives is the things you can do with your skateboard when it is wet, raining, cold, and snowing.
First, a skateboard should not be kept in your house until spring or until the weather permits. There are lots of activities you can do with your skateboard aside from going out and hitting the sidewalks and parks.
Indoor skateboarding Do not ride your skateboard and chase your cats, dogs, and brothers around the house. That's not what I meant. What I mean is you can practice your tricks inside your house, in your room or on the carpet of your living room. You can practice your balance, kickflips, kickturns, ollies, and other freestyle tricks without going out of your house. Be careful though. You don't want to annoy your mom and dad with broken glasses, and windows.
Garage skateboard If your house is not good enough, you still have your garage. Clear out the cars and boxes and you are good to go. Transform your garage into your personal skate park. Construct a mini ramp and short rails. Skating in your garage is the best way to beat the rain, snow, and cold.
Indoor skate parks If you are doing all your skateboarding on the street and parking lots, then you may have forgotten all about indoor skate parks near you. Here, you can improve your skateboarding techniques regardless of the weather. It might cost you some money, but if you can afford to buy wheels and trucks, you can definitely afford to pay for the use of the park. After all, you are just paying here to survive over the winter months. When spring comes, go back to your favorite skate spot.
Snowboarding It's winter and the snow is falling. You can't roll but you can definitely slide. So, grab your snowboard and head to ski parks. If you don't have the money, your neighborhood is all yours. Remember this: many skateboarding tricks are derived from snowboarding so you can definitely improve your riding when you get back to your wheels in the spring.
Being a couch potato when you can't skateboard outside is really up to you. But if you want to improve your skills, be creative. Use every available space you have and get better each day.

The Great Fun Involved with Skateboard Ramps
First off, you have to fully understand that using skateboard ramps is highly dangerous and the event of an injury is likely. But because most skateboarders live for the thrill of doing tricks and catching big air, skateboard ramps are essential in any skateboard park and there have also been many skateboard ramps that have been homemade and used on their own property.
Ramps for those that are newbies to skateboarding, although it is unlikely that a person who wants to go skateboarding hasn't seen or heard about one, are sloping, usually wooden, objects that allow a person to ride a bike, skateboard or such to give them leverage when they do leaps. In buildings, ramps are used for easy access to those who are disabled.
As mentioned, ramps are great obstacles in a skateboard course which can allow a person to do jumps and to perform tricks after taking off. Some ramps are also used for taking off to allow a skateboarder to gather momentum easily. Skateboard ramps that don't have a sloping or curving surface are called wedge ramps. They look like triangles and have a straight line going up.
Using the internet, you can purchase ramps and avoid having to build one your own. Many websites offer large and small ramps and some of them even offer free shipping and delivery. All you have to do is find the right one for you. Factors that determine which type of ramp you will need will include the space you have where you will place the ramp. Take into account the obstacles that are lined up near the allotted space.
Another factor to consider is your skateboarding skills and abilities. If you are a new to using ramps, then you may want to stick with the smaller ramps first. Practice with the small ramp then as you get used to doing jumps and other tricks, you may move on to larger ramps.
For the do it yourself kind of guy, there are skateboard ramp plans available for download on the internet. Some plans can be downloaded for free, but for the more comprehensive plans, you may purchase them for a low fee.
But always remember, when it comes to skateboarding, like in other different types of sport, safety is the main issue. Don't forget to wear your safety gear and don't get over eager.
