SkaterTrainers, unlike Trix, are not just for kids.   If you got that reference, then you will appreciate this article.

Here is a word for word email I just got from Casey!   

"I just ordered a set of SkaterTrainers last week, and they arrived yesterday. I am 34 years old, 6'2", 250lbs and haven't skated in 16 years. Within an hour of opening the package and putting the SkaterTrainers on, I was able to Ollie. I was also able to Ollie switch, which was pretty shocking. Thank you so much for inventing these! I only wish that they had them when I was first learning to skate in the '80s. I wanted you to know that I am extremely happy with my purchase, and plan to get some for my stepsons soon."

THANK YOU CASEY!   This stuff makes selling SkaterTrainers an awesome gig!

At the Skatepark, I am continually amazed at how many 30-45 year old dudes are getting back on their skateboards after ....

SkaterTrainers have been getting great feedback from skaters and experts.  Our users swear by them and we recently received a great review from Steve Cave.   Steve runs the About.com/Skateboarding page and is an authority on learning how to skateboard and skateboard equiement.    Google “How to Ollie” or “How to Skateboard” or “Skateboard Tricks” and many many others, and Steve appears on the first page of results.    Anyway, here is what recognized authority Steve Cave had to Say about SkaterTrainers:
 
“I don't get why no one thought of them before now! They're brilliant, easy to use, and every new skater should get a pair!

“When learning tricks, especially as a new skater, it's miserable to try to learn things like how to ollie, when the board can (and probably will) shoot out from under you. Then you bust up your wrist, and have to spend two months healing before you can get back to it (I'm speaking from experience!).”..............

Learning to skateboard takes dedication.   If you want to learn fast, it helps if you have an order and a strategy.   Many new skateboarders try to learn to Ollie or learn to kickflip before they are ready.  They will try to Ollie before they can effectively push their skateboard or even do a kick turn.   This often leads to frustration and even giving up.   So, for you parents and Noobs out there, here is an outline of some of the very first things you should learn to do on a skateboard.

The following list is a rough order of how you should be progressing as a beginner skateboarder............
