Competition Buzz: Who's Shredding the Scene?

The skateboarding world is always buzzing with excitement, especially with big competitions like the X Games and Street League Skateboarding (SLS) popping up throughout the year! It's like the Olympics of skateboarding! We're always on the edge of our seats to see who's going to land that gnarly trick or invent a completely new one. Just last month, a young skater named Chloe Covell, who's only 13 years old, became the youngest X Games medalist ever! Can you believe it? She landed a mind-blowing 720 on the vert ramp. That's two full rotations in the air! Talk about defying gravity!

Speaking of incredible athletes, Tony Hawk, the legend himself, is still out there shredding at 55 years old! He recently landed a 720 at a demo, proving that age is just a number when you're passionate about something you love. And guess what? He did it on the very same vert ramp where he landed his first-ever 720 back in 1999! Now that's what we call dedication! If you're curious about this iconic skater, check out more about Tony Hawk!

New on the Scene: Gear and Trends

Remember those cool shoes with the big puffy tongues that were all the rage back in the day? Well, guess what? Skate shoe trends are always changing! These days, it's all about slimmer profiles and vulcanized soles for better board feel. But hey, no matter what's "in," the most important thing is that your shoes are comfy and help you land those tricks! Speaking of gear, have you seen the new pro model boards from WKND Skateboards? They're seriously eye-catching! From vibrant graphics to unique shapes, these boards are a work of art. They even have a special edition board designed by a famous street artist. How cool is that? To explore more about this brand, check out this article about WKND Skateboards.

And don't even get me started on all the awesome skate videos dropping online these days! It's like having a front-row seat to the action. One video that blew my mind recently featured a group of skaters hitting up an abandoned water park. They were grinding on water slides and doing ollies over pools – it was insane! It's so cool to see how creative skaters are getting with finding unique spots to shred. If you're looking to up your skateboarding fashion game, you might want to check out New Balance SB, they have some pretty sweet kicks!

Skateboarding Tips and Tricks: Stay UpToDate

Master the Basics, Then Get Fancy!

First things first, make sure you've got the basic skateboarding moves down pat. Think of it like learning your ABCs before you can write a story. You gotta master the ollie (that's jumping with your board, for all you newbies!), the kickturn (steering your board), and how to push and balance like a pro. Once you've got those down, you can start learning cool tricks like heelflips, kickflips, and maybe even a boardslide or two! Don't worry if you don't get it right away, even the pros were wobbly beginners once! Check out our article about how to get started with skateboarding to learn the basics!

Watch, Learn, and Try It Yourself!

One of the coolest things about skateboarding is that there's always something new to learn. Thanks to the internet, you can find tons of skate videos online! Watch how the pros do their tricks, pay attention to their footwork, and then try to copy them. It's like having a free skateboarding lesson anytime, anywhere! You can also learn a lot from skating with friends. If your buddy is awesome at boardslides, ask them for tips! Maybe you can teach them how to grind a curb in return. Sharing skills is what makes skateboarding so awesome. If you're looking for some inspiration, check out this article about skateboarding legend Tony Hawk!
