Check out Jeremy Flores, another talented pro surfer on the rise.

From Quicksilver Bio:

In 2007 Jeremy Flores, the youngest competitor ever on the ASP world tour, made history by winning rookie of the year en route to a spectacular 7th place finish. Despite growing up in far flung Madagascar and Reunion Island, Jeremy was recognized early for his talent and moved to Australia at age 8 to devote himself to competitive surfing. Now living in France and New Caledonia, Jeremy speaks 4 languages and is comfortable anywhere in the world. He won the WQS title in 2006 and was a standout in all three Young Guns films. He even beat mentor Kelly Slater last year at Teahupo’o and his fast, aggressive surfing and fiercely competitive spirit are set to make him the first ever European world title contender.

One of my favorite tricks on a skateboard is a heelflip.  Heelflip is basically the opposite of a kickflip where you use your heel to kick out instead of flipping in.

Heelflips can be great for jumping high too as you are kicking more “out” instead of trying to flip your board.

Well, don’t listen to me, watch as Tony Hawk and his friend shows you.

Well, these guys are calling a long board a skateboard, I don’t know why but it does look cool seeing the champ’s head go back and forth as he goes down the hill.

Check out these new skateboard-like orbitwheels. They are much more portable than a skateboard and might be a good substitute while you commute back and forth to work.

Like a cross between a skateboard and inline skates, but with more freedom and simplicity than either, the Orbitwheel is a brand new concept for wheeled sports.

The design is simple: two feet, two wheels… and you’re ready to go. The Orbitwheel’s concept is basic, but with the wheels whirling around your feet, you are capable of countless tricks and maneuvers that can be as complex and creative as you can come up with.

With the Orbitwheel’s minimalistic design, fun and transportation have never been so portable and convenient. The large wheel radius enables you to enjoy the Wheelblazer on a variety of different surfaces. The two thin, light wheels require no folding down or taking apart, making them easy to slip into a backpack or carry in your hand. And when you’re ready to get going again, you don’t need to fuss with buckles and flaps – just step into the hoops and take off.

Well, one of the most important things to do with a skateboard is to jump, or ollie as we skateboarders call it.

Basically, you will need to do the following:

1. Be in balance at constant speed.

2. Hit the back foot pretty hard while simultaneously jumping and sliding the forward foot up the board. (This should get you airborne)

3. Bring up the knees and finsh nice.

Here’s a nice video from YouTube on how to ollie:
