SkaterTrainers + $1 To Make Your Own Balance Board
|ROGER HANSEN
SkaterTrainers make learning to ollie easier.  I have taught several kids who wouldn't even get close to landing their ollies and other tricks without skatertrainers.   Its really simple, its easier to learn new tricks without the wheels moving!Check out the SkaterTrainer balance board.   This is a fun twist and a way to work on your balance inside.    It works the same as a $100+ balance trainer (I have several), and only costs you $1 extra.    All you need is a $1 Three Liter bottle of soda....

Beginner Skateboarder Jon (9 yo) Tries SkaterTrainers to Learn Tricks
|ROGER HANSEN
Jon is a young beginner skateboarder at 9 years old.   Jon wanted to try out the SkaterTrainers like the other young skateboarders, so we got some footage.   He was working on his manual and several boneless attempts.   I know for a fact that he would have fallen in a few of these attempts, and even did a few times.   But, the skateboard never rolled out or slipped out from under him, so he was in control the entire time.   He plans to continue to learn...

SkaterTrainer Step by Step Ollie Picture Sequence with Dylan
|ROGER HANSEN
I got some cool pictures of Dylan landing an Ollie with his SkaterTrainers installed. These pictures demonstrate the timing, how to ollie step by step, and how Skater Trainers can help you ollie higher! It’s pretty simple, but the timing takes a lot of practice and effort to get down. The steps are basically Pop, Jump, Slide, and Land…but when you are just starting you know it is not that easy to get your Ollie.   SkaterTrainers can help you learn to Ollie anywhere and keep you from falling as much...

Use SkaterTrainer's to Ollie Curbs and Set up Grinds
|ROGER HANSEN
This is Dylan again working on Ollie up curbs and Ollie-ing up ledges.   This can be helpful in learning how to grind and learning axel stalls.   The SkaterTrainers are useful, especially when you drop down off the ledge.   Dylan even does some 180's with the SkaterTrainers installed.   These types of moves are also fun if you have a pallet or a fun box in your garage on rainy days. Notice how SkaterTrainers allow full contact with the bottom of the board (boardslides and stalls) and allow... Read more...
