Do you want to freestyle Rodney Mullen style? It\'s actually not that hard to do some really cool freestyle stuff!
Hint 1: Understand the meaning of \'freestyle\'. This means you can do
anything what you want, if it feels good to you! This means dancing on
your board is also freestyle in a way. I\'m not saying that\'s the way
you want to be skating, but that\'s up to you.
Hint 2: Combine tricks! It\'s really impressive what you can do with
some really easy basic tricks. I suggest you practise the shove-it,
walk-the-dog, pivots, end overs and multiple 360\'s first. Then just be
creative and combine these tricks into long combos. Later you may
replace the shove-it\'s by bigspins. Combining tricks with manuals are a
lot of fun too. This is a little harder, but it sure feels good when
you\'ve mastered it.
Hint 3: Although end overs are the backbone of your freestyle combo,
you might want to throw in some of those goodlooking freestyle tricks,
such as casper flips and primo/reemo tricks.
Hint 4: This one is related to \'Hint 1\'. For freestyle, don\'t be afraid
to use your hands, or put a feet on the ground doing a trick. Try to
invent other ways to use the board. To give some examples: casper,
railstand, handstand, truckstand, pogo air... What you do and how you
do it really doesn\'t matter! As long as it makes you feel good. That\'s
my opinion on freestyling and on skateboarding in general.
Now jump on your board (or jump off it!) and have fun freestyling!
