SkaterTrainer Ollie, Heelflip, Pop Shove-It Demo from Dylan

Here is some footage of Dylan demonstrating how to Ollie and How to heelflip with his SkaterTrainers at the Skatepark and talking about his thoughts on SkaterTrainers.  Dylan is a very solid vert, pool, and street skateboarder.  He really has fun trying new and bigger things with his SkaterTrainers.  



Dylan is well past being a beginner skateboarder but is still learning every day. The first evening spent shooting videos, he thought of several new and fun ways to use the Skatertrainers, including ollie up onto ledges and off of ledges.   Dylan did say that he regrets not being able to use SkaterTrainers when he was learning to Ollie and falling down all the time. He sees the potential for them to help him with his flat ground tricks as well as big potential for teaching beginners how to skateboard, how to pop shove-it, how to ollie, and how to kickflip.

Like most things, the answer is "It Depends".   Short answer, get a Skateboard or a Longboard.   You don’t need the top of the line, but you need one that is good enough to be safe and to not limit beginner performance.

If they have any specific riding experience and ask for a specific board, then generally go with what they want.   Also what their friends have is very important, as you generally need a specific type of board for specific activity.   And always get quality components or the experience will be terrible, they will quit, they may get hurt, and you will have wasted your money.   More on that later.

If they are unsure, here are some specific guidelines and recommendations.......
