Hello friends. Today we'll teach all you kids on skateboards how to do some tricks.

Skateboarding is an ever growing sport among Oak Park's youth. Skateboarding can be a very leisurely sport, or it can get very extreme. There are tons of ways to skateboard, and tons of things you can do with a skateboard. Pro skaters like Tony Hawk have really boosted the sport, not only in Oak Park, but all over the United States, and probably all over the world.

But before we start we have to insist on your using safty gear. Got it? Now, we start skating.

If you allready know some of this skip it; if you don't know what we're talking about look through it. Even if you are good it might be nice to brush up on the basics.
