How to kickflip

Being an old dude who took a big break from skateboarding I felt like an overweight has been stepping back onto that board. 

 

One thing I did notice, was everything required a bit extra thought now that my brain has become non skate related wisdom. I feel beginners are at a much higher advantage these days with millions of people on online willing to share their knowledge and trick tips.  

 

Back in my day we either had to spend every free minute of the day making mistakes, a paperback tutorial in a skate magazine or a little help from our friends. 

 

Well, if you don't have any friends or at least any rad ones who skate, let the power of the internet help you, I will be posting 'how to's' every now and then from who I find provide the best explanation.

VIDEO: Lil Wayne skateboarding in Miami

Lil Wayne's skateboarding does seem to be improving ever so slightly, YouTube clip by clip, day by day. Everyone starts somewhere and some of the negative comments people are putting out on social media regarding his skateboarding is a bit disappointing in my opinion.

Here is one of his latest video features, skating what looks to be a DIY skate spot with his crew Evan Hernandez, YO YO, Shuriken Shannon, Andre Colbert amongst others.

Heck I don't even get this kind of exposure and i've been skating mediocre for years now.

Supreme – Leading the Skater Generation Since 1994

Supreme was founded in 1994 in downtown Manhattan on Lafayette Street by a group of skater enthusiasts who wanted to work with what they loved. In the last 18 years Supreme has become a center point for the skater generation and a vibrant and rebellious little home for the skate culture the world over. Supreme started with a handful of New Yorkers, who proudly took up the titles of skaters and artists, who wanted to infuse the skaters, hip-hop and punk generation with clothes and accessories that embodied the skater movement and all it stood for. 

Since that time Supreme has exploded onto the skater scene and taken the lead in the skate culture, expanding their locations from the small founding store to 15 locations worldwide. From the punk generation in London, to the hip-hop scene in LA and the new-punk genre in Tokyo; Supreme has defined the skater, hip-hop and punk generation. Supreme has given its competitors such as Stussy, Obey and Carhart a run for their money. Supreme’s stylish street wear clothing has given the skate culture a springboard for individualism and creativity, creating a progressive platform for skaters, b-boys, punks and more to show their spirit and their uniqueness to the world. 

Since its inception Supreme has lead the skate culture to higher levels by offering clothes and accessories to fit the needs of its customers. Supreme has shown its staying power in a fumbling economy and promises to continue to define the skater generation for years into the future.
