I've only been sk8ing for about 3 or 4 yrs and I've pretty much been into the "new-school" style because that's what I saw when I started. However, I'm becoming more and more interested in earlier forms of skateboarding, thanks largely to guys like Mullen and Alva. I also work at a place called Comet where they make slalom and longboards in addition to the short ones I ride. I'm not sure where I should start though. What are some good basic tricks to begin learning freestyle? I can do basic railstands but not much else in the way of freestyle.
Enjoi life!!!!

Hey,
I just called Casper Industries about Dennis Marteniz's Christian Rock/Skate event, see about 10 posts down. It will start at 1:00, and the location is 1440 Hotel Circle North, San Diego (what used to be the Cinema 21 theater). Lots of freestylers will be there. One of my favorites, Primo Desiderio, should be getting there at about 11:00, since he has to leave at about 2:00.

Well, the word is out and response is GREAT! Thank you all for the fantastic comments about the new "FLATLANDS" movie. We put a lot of work into promoting Freestyle (old and new) within this movie and for those of you that have called or written, your comments made it all worthwhile! :)
Thanks again. If you want to pass this along, please tell people to visit www.skatelegends.com for more details.

Thanks Richy! The long beach Extreme show was a lot of fun. There was not the turn out we had hoped for from a trade and spectator show that was this big, but next year will be better. Thanks to Bobby and Casper Industries for sharing the Casper booth with the other freestyle companies, and the WFSA. Casper Industries will be a sponsor of Dennis Marteniz's Christian Rock/Skate event on July 27th in San Diego. The Casper Team will be doing demo's and jam's and a showing of The Casper Video at this event, like they did at Long Beach. There will be a street and vert course also, with pro demo's and open to the public skate sessions...free food and four great bands...no admission, call 760-439-9944. Casper Industries will also have a booth at the San Diego ASR trade show and will have domo's and jam's.
The WFSA has been doing demo's and jam events in the L.A. inner city areas featuring Jonh Pope, George Douville, James Santillan, and whats left of Bob Staton. These events are the work of Hiedi Lemon of the SPA USA organization.
SPAUSA and WFSA have formed a group of the more active and consistant inner city kids they call The L.A.Metro All Starz. Next year there will be an L.A. Metro Skate Series that will include street, flatland, and flatland slalom run by SPAUSA, WFSA and Bob Staton's Cal South GRS Chapter. There will be a grand opening of the Hollywood Extreme Sports Theme Park on the 8th of July...Casper team will be there also.

Just came back from my first ride on my new freestyle board, a cut down new skool deck.lol. I shortend and squared off the end, then cut down the nose and redrilled the trucks an inch or so closer togethere. So much more a free ride, the board just does exactly what your feet tell it, great fun. 360 spins never felt so easy (a few months ago I had a scare after i couldnt complete a single 360) and shove its and flips just seem to fly like never before. I cnt belive it took me so long to do it, id have paid 4 a deck designed for freestyle (i was considering the yoyo freestyle) but im so broke its not funny. So there you go, ever stuck for a board, just cut down a 'nu-skool' deck thats unused:)

Scott, good to see some one around here can list tricks off Tony Hawks. I was starting to get worried that no one here was able 2 write lists with the intention of impressing people they had never met. My faith has been restored.

I just ordered the On Skateboarding WInter 02 video from Longskate and the Rodney Mullen Introspective is so beautiful I wanted to cry. The section contains old home video from 1979, footage from the Oceanside contest where he beat Rocco, clips from several more recent videos, and a slew of pros saying "he invented every trick I know how to do" Best $20 I've spent in a long time. And as near as I can tell, a helipop is a 360 trick consisting of a 180 backside nollie to rear wheels and the last 180 pivoting on them.
