Here’s a video of a skateboarder doing a triple kickflip. A triple kickflip isn’t too different from the regular kickflip except you do 3 flips.
How to do it?Practice doing double kickflips by kicking the board harder while you jump. If you master the double kickflips, try doing a triple simply by kick
Well, I’ve noticed on our twitter account that user skateparks has a website called Skatepark Directory where you can find skateboard parks in your area using Google Maps API. I typed in “94132″ and pretty much got the above screenshot, it seems it’s missing some parks near San Francisco where I live but heck, nice job with it.
I am sure the directory will get better and larger as we go along but feel
Here’s a really cool snowboard multi-tool screwdriver and pipe from Italy. I do personally own a similar screw tool but this one is extra special since it comes with a pipe that you can use while on the slopes.
The device is sturdy, and the screwdriver’s been helpful countless times I’d want to adjust bindings quickly. The handle and spring loaded release for the tool are easily useful with gloves o
Here’s a fun new technology for snowboards, a banana-rocker that supposedly helps you to float better in powder while achieving better turns. You can get these boards at Lib Tech.
This has several effects: It helps boards float a bit more in powder and over choppy snow, pivot the entire board between the feet for quick slash turns, make the ends less accidentally catchy, and precurving the board’s ends in an arc that allow the board to carve well when yo

Here’s a good video explaining what wakesurfing is.
Wakesurfing is a water sport in which a surfer trails behind an inboard ski boat, surfing the boat’s wake without being directly attached to the boat. The wake from the boat mimics th
I do find that Twitter could be very useful for keeping in touch with friends while snowboarding, especially if you get lost, check out this story of a snowboarder who was saved via his iPhone GPS and Twitter.
Some snowboarders got lost in the alps. The guy with the iPhone, Jason Tavaria, used the phone’s GPS to aid his rescue. Tragically, his friend did not make it. Rescuers found the second lost person’s body at the bottom of a +60 foot fall next to a stream. The lost snowboarders’ friends kept in touch via twitter. It appears that while these skiers and sno

Wow, wakesurfing at its best…
Here’s a really funny iPhone skateboard deck you can get. Too bad it’s not actually functional but if Apple made one that was real, all the skaters would buy it.
