Editorial Reviews
Skateboarding idol Tony Hawk leads beginners through an introductory course, starting with selecting the right equipment and ending with intermediate tricks. Hawk teaches the basics of several of the most popular styles, including street, vert, and grinds on rails, with help from Kris Markovich and Brian Sumner, two other pro skaters. The 39-minute video starts out with Hawk and his sidekicks demonstrating balance on the board and the correct way to push and turn. Then they move on to the ollie, kickflip, shove- it, heelflip, and 180s, and finally more complicated moves like dropping into the mini-ramp and how to kickturn and rock-to-fakie. For the finale, they teach the correct way to boardslide on a rail. These pros spend about five minutes explaining in detail how to carry out each trick correctly (and incorrectly--all of the pros take some entertaining intentional falls showing how not to do a trick; fortunately, they wear helmets and encourage all skaters to wear them). A helpful popup dialogue box offers information about the subject. This well-produced video is fun to watch, 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. --Neal Marks

Behind the times - not a jip but not close to the unbelievable "Skateboarding Explained" instructional video (2007-11-26)
Customer Review : 1
The methods, approach and tips are ok with Tony Hawks Trick Tips. BUT purchase Skateboarding Explained if you really want to see Best Trick Tips, Best Explanations, Best Breakdown of Foot and Body positions, Best Successful Approach to each trick. Skateboarding Explained (SE) also is useful longer because it goes from beginning all the way through more accomplished skateboarding. I have used both products while helping teach others and everyone of my camp students, hands down vote for SE.

Tony Hawk--A great innovator and skateboarding would NOT be where it is today without him...However we could have done without his instructional video.
It was a bit unclear and was less than inspiring.
If you are looking for a instructional skateboarding video i HIGHLY reccommend Skateboarding Explained. You can buy it on Amazon too! Check it out!
It is a step by step video that gives endless possibilities and gives you lots of new ways to invent new tricks.
keep Skating!

My son is 6 years old and new to skateboarding. The skateboard scene can be a little mature for that age. I previewed the DVD when it arrived and I founf nothing offensive. Tony Hawk does a good job describing the hows and whys of the sport. The only conflicting message was that some of the other boarders did not wear protective gear. That is the only fault I can find with the DVD.
