I've been skating for about a month now and was wanting to know if anybody had advice on tricks, speed, balance, etc. (I've almost got the ollie down)

What you want to do is not fall off.

playing Tony Hawk underground trained me into being a professional skater it can probably help you too!

what i like to do is wrap myself in bubble wrap, sit on it, and go down a hill.

Make sure to put on your elbow and knee pads and advice everyone else to do the same.

If you don't want a broken richard, arm , nose, leg, face, rib or whole spine don't do tricks.
I usually use my board to cruise around or go to a friends house

[ßlöükfáce]

go down declines for maximum thrill and roadrash

[Aware]

try not to land on your head or face

[/Pacha]

Go to a skate park with some friends if you wanna get in some good practice.

I haven't used a skateboard in a long time, but there's still some things I know (I also caster board, snowboard and inline skate, so that helps too). First off, keep your legs loose! Don't catch a bad case of stiff leg syndrome. Don't exaggerate it either, though - you'll fall off then too. Just keep in mind that your legs will, and always do, act as the most effective shock absorbers on a board or skates.

For skateboard, I don't really have anything else, but I've got tips for inline skating if you need them. ;)
