How to minimize physical injuries from sk8boarding. DON'T BREAK YOUR SPINE BRO

Sk8boarding is a fun activity, but it can also be dangerous. I don't want you guys to get seriously injured and stop sk8ing forever. Here are some beginners tips to prevent serious harm to your body.

• 1. First make certain you have all the proper protective gear. Your skateboarding gear must include:  a) Skate shoes; b) A helmet; c) Kneepads; d) Elbow pads; and e) Wristbands. Proctect that spine.

• 2. Familiarize yourself with your sk8board.  In order to do so, find a grassy area or rest the board on the carpet in your house.  Become comfortable with the sk8board underneath your feet.  Place your feet in different positions on the sk8board.  This includes placing the majority of your weight on the tail or end of the board.
• 3. Next determine if you feel more comfortable heading off with your left foot or right foot.  Stand on the board and conclude what feels most natural.  The foot that is your strongest or most dominant is your back foot.
• 4. Learn to push.  Always push off using your back foot.  This is a basic technique.  There are a number of ways you may push off after this basic technique has been fully mastered.
• 5. Learn how to turn.  Bend your knees to get in a low position then turn the board using your feet.
• 6. Practice braking by foot.  Start slow and do not perform initially at a high rate of speed.
• a) Turn your toes to face the nose or the front of the sk8board. 
  
  • b)  You are also facing toward the front.  Place all your weight onto your front foot.  Keep your back leg straight and slowly lower your back foot to the ground.  c)  The weight of your body is on the front leg.  The body is centered properly as you drag your back foot in order to decrease speed.  
  • c)  Apply light pressure in order to slow down gradually. 
  • d)  Using heavy pressure will slow you down quickly.

Dealing with ankle injuries

Being in college and sk8ing everyday may cause some unexpected injuries. Like for instance, lets say you're listening to your ipod and sk8ing and suddenly a tiny pebble comes out of nowhere and you stumble and you cry to catch yourself but instead you roll your ankle. Yeah worst injury ever. This is what i do to remedy my pain.

• I get an icepack and i put it on top of my foot. The physical touch of the ice might hurt but it's okay. If my  feet gets numb i like to think it's working.
• 
  
• Then I elevate my ankle so it's above my head. I use a shit loads of pillows and i put it on top of my desk. I heard this like stops swelling by getting the blood down to body.
• 
  
• Then when my feet get's all cold and numb, i put it in hot water. i heard this breaks up the blood inside my foot.
• 
  Then i pressurize it for the swelling to go down.
• 
  
• Then i wrap my foot in a t shirt just for funnies. mental therapy

After like a couple of hours or a day my feet would be fine.

I hope this helps you!

Also if your ankle is hurting and causing major physical pain, then you should contact your physician or doctor and go to hospital.  They be something wrong with you.

Hopes this helps guys!
