Skateboarding Videos

Peruse the section set aside for skateboard videos, and you will be treated to a cornucopia of different skateboarding videos. Some are hardcore instruction aimed at the advanced skateboarder who can do an Ollie in his sleep, has mastered the kickflip while eating a banana, and is now secretly dreaming of the 900. The more extreme skateboarding videos feature stunts that are not only dumb and unsafe, but also disingenuous in that they are so cleverly edited that the average viewer will not realize that some of these stunts are merely staged and not actually one continuous skateboard video.

This kind of skateboarding video is dangerous and has been at the root of many younger skateboarders ending up in hospitals with broken limbs or worse. While many brick and mortar stores will not carry this kind of trash, the Internet with its free skateboarding video download sites has more than made up for the difficulty in getting the material, and kids are still exposed to the antics by the actors.

Of course, there are sites where you can download skateboard videos of the greats like Tony Hawk or Rodney Mullen. Skateboarding videos of this caliber are usually not free - skateboard video downloads that cost nothing are always preferred by the perpetually broke group of youngsters – but if you are looking for the real videos of skateboarding that is done right, challenging and at the same time will help you to get more air, do more tricks, and stay safe, free skateboard videos might not be the best choice. Sure, you can download free skateboard videos and watch a bunch of guys jumping off roofs while doing the 900, but would it not make more sense to buy skateboarding videos that show you how to get the air in the first place that will then enable you to do the 900 without the need of a roof?

Another form or extreme skateboarding video is the competition and event footage. Whether you look for the Plan B skateboard video or some free skateboarding videos that are used as promotional materials at the local skateboard shop, these skateboarding videos are amazing in that they showcase what a serious skateboarder can do in competition when putting in the time to practice. The ultimate goal of these skateboarding videos usually is to sell some brand of gear, but the bigger picture should encourage you to look past the endorsements and the strategically placed logos of all the gear – see them as skateboarding videos that give you an aim!
