Editorial Reviews

This is the first in a series of instructional videos that features the 12-time world champion and most successful skateboarder in history. Is there any better way to learn than from the world’s best? The skaters’ casual but insightful narration provides helpful hints that will be of great assistance to the progressing skater.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tony Hawk's Trick Tips Vol. 1, February 3, 2002

This review is from: Tony Hawk's Trick Tips, Vol. 1: Skateboarding Basics (DVD)

This video is the best skateboard video I've ever seen! I bought this video about 2 months ago and I'm starting to get good at skateboarding. First on the video Tony Hawk shows you the board set up at the Boardroom skateshop in California. He also tells you what size and shape boards,trucks,wheels,and bearings are right for beginners. Next , Tony Hawk and Kris Markovich show you how to push,balance,and turn. Next,they show you how to do ollies,180 ollies,pop shove-its,kickflips,and heelflips. The good things they show you in these tricks are in goofy and regular footed and what you should be doing and what you shouldn't be doing and the most common mistakes. Next,they take you to mini ramp skating. They show you how to pump, kickturn,drop in,and rock to fakie. next, Tony and Brian Sumner show the boardslide. And that's about it. I would recomend you buy this video if you want to learn how to skate cause Tony,Kris,and Brian have sure showed me how to skate.

This is an excellent video for beginners (and parents of beginners!). My son is just getting started, after having watched Tony Hawk for many years and playing video games. This video really covers a lot of ground, which parents should also watch. It gives a great start for beginners to learn tricks. Definitely recommended.

This review is from: Tony Hawk's Trick Tips Vol. 1 - Skateboarding Basics [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I got this video for my 9 yr. old son just getting into skateboarding. We found it very informative and easy to follow. Skateboarding is certainly not what it was in my day and I'm glad I got it for my son. It gave us information on skateboard terminology, safety issues and how to build an appropriate board for my son. All tricks were visually easy to follow. The tricks explained by Tony Hawk and friend were easy to understand. We are now able to help my son practice the tricks he is learning from the video. We all educated ourselves in this hot, new sport. I highly recommend getting this video.
