Tony Hawk's Trick Tips, Vol. 1: Skateboarding Basics

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: This is an excellent video for beginners (and parents of beginners!). My son is just getting started, after having watched Tony Hawk for many years and playing video games. This video really covers a lot of ground, which parents should also watch. It gives a great start for beginners to learn tricks. Definitely recommended.

Summary: good overview of the basics
Review: This video is a good overview of the basic moves. Tony and Kris show both goofy and regular, which is nice. Its humorous as well. the only problem with the video is that it doesn't cover all that much material. Other than that an excellent video for the beginner.

Summary: Good stuff
Review: This video is fun to watch,But you should see Ultimate street Brawls at streetbrawls.com.Whether or not you are trying to learn tricks, since it also contains skateboarding humor and the culture of boarder life. It's a great video for beginners, and it will still be useful once you master the basics. It also teaches more advanced tricks that will provide a challenge for quite a long time, since, as Hawk himself says, it takes years to master them

Summary: Awesome Skating Video
Review: This video is possibly the most useful video for beginning skaters that has ever been made. If you are a beginning skater buy this DVD.

Summary: Tony Hawk's Trick Tips Vol. 1
Review: This video is the best skateboard video I've ever seen! I bought this video about 2 months ago and I'm starting to get good at skateboarding. First on the video Tony Hawk shows you the board set up at the Boardroom skateshop in California. He also tells you what size and shape boards,trucks,wheels,and bearings are right for beginners. Next , Tony Hawk and Kris Markovich show you how to push,balance,and turn. Next,they show you how to do ollies,180 ollies,pop shove-its,kickflips,and heelflips. The good things they show you in these tricks are in goofy and regular footed and what you should be doing and what you shouldn't be doing and the most common mistakes. Next,they take you to mini ramp skating. They show you how to pump, kickturn,drop in,and rock to fakie. next, Tony and Brian Sumner show the boardslide. And that's about it. I would recomend you buy this video if you want to learn how to skate cause Tony,Kris,and Brian have sure showed me how to skate.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This video looks very good. I am definitely getting it. I'm not too good at skateboarding. I think something like this would encourage me to keep on trying, even when I look like an idiot. I think I'll be able to learn from it as well. You should get this too!

Summary: Not THAT much help
Review: Though the movie does show step by step how a trick is done its nothing like jsut doing out and practicing yourself. It does not let you know that skateboarding is much about your own style and how YOU compelete a trick. Don't waste the money...just go ask a friend how its done and learn it your own way.

Summary: british guys are cool
Review: tony hawk is not a street skater, he shouldnt teach street tricks. having markovich and sumner was cool, but it needs other guys too. since this says its vol. 1, maybe volume 2 will be better. oh yeah and the trick tips arnt very helpful, except for the noseslide... that was a good one.

Summary: QUALITY skating video
Review: Tony Hawks Trick Tips video starts out by showing you safety equipment and selection. The videos orderly and starts out by showing you how to ollie (that's the basic trick you need for a lot of tricks) and then goes on to more advanced tricks. Tony keeps it an interesting and relaxed video by adding some humor after they teach you a couple of tricks, and using pro skateboarders to show you how they do it.The humor helps keep the viewer entertained, but not that you'd be bored anyways with Hawks easygoing and detailed way of teaching the tricks.It'll help you relax so you can learn the tricks better.The videos good, and not weird shaky camera, cheap sound, ect.(if Tony Hawks going to be in it, I don't think it would!) And all in all a fun instructional video. It may sound like I'm a huge fan of Tony Hawks, but I'm not , I just want to learn skate and the video was great compared to a lot of others I'd seen.And I'm impressed with the way Tony, (and the film crew)did the video, real fun! BUY IT! don't get conspiracy weird on me, I'm not a marketer, I'm a seventeen year old girl, that likes to learn to skateboard from the best!
