SKATEIMPACT SKATEBOARD ETIQUETTE The Unwritten Rules of Skateboarding - By Ashraf of SkateImpact in Egypt... 1. Dont mall grab. Mall grabbing is when youre carrying your board from the trucks, dont do it dont ask questions, always carry the board from the deck. 2. Never be the thats easy I can do it better jerk. When someone has been trying a trick for the past two hours or so, that trick not the nicest thing to do easily in front of him, you could be the local Micheal Jordan of skateboarding and can do all the tricks in the book, but hey ... not this one and not at this time. 3. Never cut turns. When everyone is skating one obstacle always know your turn never cut turns. 4. Respect priorities. If a friend is filming a trick at a spot that you might get kicked out of at any second its best to sit down and wait for him to film his trick. More than one skater skating a spot will increase the chances of attracting security guards. 5. Never Ollie when playing S.K.A.T.E no one cares if its an Ollie North, South, East, or West ... if its an Ollie dont it in a game of S.K.A.T.E. 8. Speed is the epitome of gnar. When filming lines the amount of speed is much more important than tricks ... that Nollie Lazerflip would look wack if youre moving as fast as a girl in a shopping mall. 9. Dont be a poser. Skate because you love skateboarding not because youre going filming and becoming popular, seeking attention, or want to be the sk8er boi so you can get the skullxx nirvana girl. 10. Support beginners. Always appreciate a landed trick or a close try even if its too easy for you now, remember it was once hard. 11. Skate for fun. Dont focus so much on getting sponsored, skateboarding is about fun. Focusing on getting sponsored and forgetting the fun part of it might make you eventually quit, if it wasnt the time for you to get picked up by a sponsor. 12. Have patience. If youre filming never keep complaining that the skater cant land the trick already. Give him his time, if you volunteered to film then sit your ass down and wait for a landing. ________________________________ BASED IN ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT, SKATEIMPACT WAS FOUNDED IN SUMMER 2005 BY SKATERS WHO LOVE AND HAVE THE PASSION FOR SKATEBOARDING. ________________________________ You Got any to add ???
