In a way, to me, it is a way to express myself, calm myself, or if i'm angry in any sort of way, i can take it out in my skating. If i had the option i would be out on the board every hour of every day, not just to get better, but because i love it more than what most people, ( apart from other skaters ), could ever hope to understand. Nobody on this earth can teach you how to skate, they can give you tips on tricks, foot placements and the basic guidelines, but the only person that will do it yourself.
Santa Cruz Skateboards, is by far my favourite skate company out there, it has its own unique style, like the skaters endorsed by it. The boards are usually very light, very durable, and have a brilliant 'pop'. Many of my past boards are made by this company, and i have not found a downfall to one of them yet, serving me well through many months of skating.
The trick called a 'No Comply', along with its many variations, is by far my most used, practiced and favourite trick. It basically involves placing your front foot on the floor, then popping or scraping the board along the floor, keeping the back foot to the board, then quickly jumping the other foot back onto the board and rolling away. I shall post some links in this post in which you can watch to have a better understanding if you please here.
