2.0 out of 5 stars can't ollie..., July 28, 1999

This review is from: Learning How: Skateboarding (Learning How Sports) (Hardcover)

man, I don't know what the heck these guys were thinking. I've been in the scene since Powell-Peralta was a glimmer in their daddy's eye. I tried to do some of the tricks in here the way they described and ended up tearing two ligaments. These guys are dangerous! I gave the book two stars just because I liked the pictures. I tell you what, though... there was not nearly as much info. on the better features of helmets as I like to see. I can't get enough about HELMETS! Skate and create, but for the love of Christo, don't read this freakin' book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Switch 360 flip to backside nose blunt slide on a handrail, June 25, 1999

I thought this book would teach me how to do a switch 360 flip to backside nose blunt slide on triple kinked handrail. Boy was I wrong, it only tells you how to do a switch Mctwists to nose wheelie off a launch ramp.
