Carving

Картинки по запросу skateboard carvingCarving is an essential technique to upgrade your longboard dancing style and is used with almost every trick. Carving is a move of board from left to right. This move makes any tricks look more smooth and stylish.
To start carving you simply have to move your body weight from one side of the board to another. While you are doing that the board should move freely and it should feel like you are surfing.
If you find it hard to carve you may want to loosen the screws on the wheels so the board makes bigger turns. This parameter is up to personal preference but generally the looser it is, the easier it is to carve.
Every skateboarder needs to find a balance between loosening your board so you can carve and do tricks at the same time.

Shortboards are the shortest style board and are designed and shaped for

Second in my list is Malmo, Sweden. Even though it rains for an average of 169 days a year and snows in winter. Malmo's long summer days with up to 17 hours of daylight and plenty of smooth pavements mean it’s an amazing place to roll around in the summer. It is a centre for Swedish skateboard culture too. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is the must go of any skateboarder. It is rightly famous for its beaches and promenades, all
