I am interested in skateboarding, where can I get lessons or go for a clinic?

Question

I am looking around the San Jose, San Francisco area. Oh, and are Airwalk skateboarding good?

Answer 1

When it comes to Skateboarding Lessons, Youtube is my best friend. But for those hard to nail tricks (Kickflips, Stalefish, etc.) It helps to have a personl opinion, so try either a friend or a Skateshop. And some advice, I would start out with these basic tricks: Ollie,Caveman, Droping in (if going to a skatepark), Developing a manual, and A Pop Shove It.

Airwalk is okay, ButI wouldn't recomend their boards. Their shoes are decent, but I would get you some Vans, Emerica, Fallen.. something allong that line.

Good Luck Skateboarding!!

Answer 2

Dude just practice with friend and by yourself. But anyway here are some places. Check out:   http://skateboardlessons.com/    http://www.skatelog.com/skateboarding/so...    http://www.school-of-skateboarding.com/s...  

You just needed to Google:  skateboarding schools in California.

Pretty easy. Oops those are in southern Calif! Just Google Skateboarding schools in northern or middle California or the San Jose/San Francisco area.

Do you mean Airwalk shoes, their decks or the trick? Cause the trick is super awesome. The shoes and boards are BAD and not a good bad. They are cheap and will fall apart quickly. Buy shoes and boards at your local skate shop.  The skate shop's decks are cheap and good. Good luck.

Answer 3

Check at a local skate shop.  They should know of someone who gives lessons.  

Years ago, Airwalk used to be the s**z, now it;s a pile of it.
