[Beginners Guide]

　　初学指导

　　Ok, so you want to start skateboarding, the first thing you need to do is the gear.

　　你想开始玩滑板，首先要买好装备。

　　Skateboarding is a big sport now and a lot of companies are trying to get noticed, lower there prices is one thing they do, it isn't the best idea to by a Walmart or Zellers skateboard and now a days you can usually get a really good board for a low price.

　　滑板现在是项体育大项目了，很多公司为了努力使自己的产品被关注，降低价格是一件事，去沃尔玛等大商场买就不是好主意了，现在你完全可以低价买到很好的滑板了。

　　Go to a local skate shop and tell the guy you want to start skating but don't have lot's of money. He will probably point you straight to the decks, the blank decks.

　　去当地的滑板店告诉他你想开始学滑板，但没有多少钱，他会带你去看没图案的板面。

　　I know when you start skating you want pictures but later you will realize it's not a big factor of buying a deck.

　　我知道你刚开始想买有图案的滑板，但你后来会意识意识到这对买板面并不是很重要。

　　Look at the deck, now you have to know something to judge if it is good or not. First thing you want to look at the width, it should be big enough so that when you step on it your feet hang out on both sides, I would recommend starting with a 7.5" deck. Most people like that size and keep with it the whole time they skate. Then you should look at the concave, (the dip in the board, it helps you flip tricks and it feels nice) it doesn't matter much at the start, later you will find out if you like them or not as you go through decks and try other peoples boards. If the deck look alright just take it, black decks are usually cheaper then decks with pictures.

　　看板面的好坏你要知道的是：首先看板的宽度，它应该足够宽你双脚尖和脚跟可以挂在板外，我推荐刚开始用7.5英寸宽的板，很多人喜欢这个大小的，一直用到最后不玩。  其次看看板的脚窝（在板头尾翘起的地方，练翻板时用得着），刚开始关系不大，用过一段时间并你试过其他人的滑板后，你会发现你喜欢脚窝深的或浅的，如果你觉得这个板面可以，那就买下吧，空白板比有图案的板更便宜。

　　Now you need some trucks, all trucks pretty much cost the same, but if there is no picture they can cost less.

　　桥的话，价格都相差无几，但没图案的便宜些。

　　I would recommend starting with something durable, strong and that turns well.

　　我推荐开始用一些耐用的，高强度的并且转的灵活。

　　Independent's are a good choice.

　　Independent牌子不错。

　　For a beginner all wheels are the same, only the color and picture are different. A good choice of wheels are bullets, they are blank wheels (even though they do have a little picture) and they are really hard, but not too hard. They last forever and don't chip, plus they cost less then most wheels.

　　对初学者来说各种轮子都一样，就颜色和图案不同，Bullets牌子不错，它们算是空白轮（尽管可能有小小的图画），它们的硬度很高，但不是太高，它们持久可用不变形不破裂，加上它们比很多其它牌子便宜。

　　Next are bearings, you will find that most bearings are rated ABEC 3, 5 or 7., For a beginner 3's are perfect, even for people like me that have been skating a long time ABEC 3's are still good. A good type of bearings to start with are Reds. A lot of people like them, they aren't bad and they don't cost too much.

　　接下来的是选轴承，你会发现很多轴承上有精密度标志：ABEC-3，5，7等，初学者-3够了，我也是很长时间一直用-3就够可以了，一款很不错的轴是Reds。很多人喜欢用的，它们不差且不贵。

　　Everything else won't matter as much, hardware, risers and grip tape don't matter a lot.

　　其它的装备关系不大，工具、垫片和砂纸。

　　Having skate shoes helps a lot, they are designed to be wide and stable so it is very hard for you to land on the side of you foot and damage your ankle. They are also designed to withstand the way you treat them when you skate.

　　用滑板鞋很有好处，它们设计得比普通鞋子更宽更稳，因此你不大会因站得少被扭到脚，它们也是特地做得耐磨的。

　　Now since skate shoes are one of the biggest style of shoes you will see lot's of people wearing them and many new companies are coming out.

　　现在滑板鞋是最流行的种类之一，你会看到很多人穿的，

　　If you go to a sports store and look at some shoes I will pretty much guarantee you that you will find some kind of skate shoe. Sports stores have great shoes, I admit I used to by shoes from there, I find they last longer then some of the more well known companies like DC or Osiris.

　　如果你去运动鞋店，就会看到很多板鞋（在美国），我建议你去那些店，我发现它们比一些知名的板鞋品牌如：DC、OSIRIS等能用更久。

　　These shoes that I am talking about (the sports store shoes) are really cheap too, you can get shoes around $30 U.S.D. that will last you up to four months of really tough skateboarding. I once bought shoes for $35 U.S. and they lasted me four months, of skating every day for at least one hour after those four months they just started to rip and they got there first hole.

　　这些鞋也很便宜，在30美元（240人民币）左右，它们可以用4个月。我曾买了一双35美元的，每天平均玩一小时，4个月后才磨出第一个洞。

　　Another time I bought these shoes that I saw advertised in a magazine for about $60 and I put in 3 holes where I drag my shoe for an Ollie in less the an hour of skating. These shoes that I am telling you about the ones for cheap also look nice, some of the shoes that I see at these sports stores you can tell that they are based on shoes that cost tons of money the kinds you see in magazines that cost a lot and look really nice. The cheap shoes look a lot like them. Anyway I HIGHLY recommend buying these cheap skate shoes that you find at sports stores, most of them are around half the price of a running shoe.

　　另一次我花了60美元买了双在广告上的名鞋，但只练跳板，1小时不到就磨出来一个洞。而那些鞋既便宜也看起来不错的。很多广告上的鞋很好看的鞋一定价格不菲。无论如何我还是推荐买那些经济实用看起来也不错的，这些比流行的价格会低半。

　　Ok now you have your skateboard, and some shoes it is time to learn some tricks. The first thing you want to know how to do is push and ride and manual a bit to get a sense of balance.

　　你有了装备后就开始学些简单的技术了，滑行、后轮滑等。

　　This might take around a week to get good at. Just ride to school everyday or something and eventually it will be like walking.

　　这个能花一个星期才练得好一些，你只要每天上学或工作来回滑，最后你就像走路一样。

　　First trick you want to learn is an Ollie, the jump of skateboarding. Go to the trick tips to see how to learn that. Next you want to learn the shove it and then a F/S 180. After you learn these it is time for the hardest part of being a beginner, learning how to kickflip. Once you have that trick down, most people won't think of you as such a beginner. Then you are ready to go to skate parks and start learning grinds and board slides and doing some gaps.

　　第一个技巧你要学的是跳板Ollie。去我的Ollie技术指导看看怎么学。接下来你可以学倒板、跳板180转体。  然后你就可以练Kickflip，你一旦会这个动作后，很多人不太认为你是个初学者了。  最后你可以去滑板场地练其它更难的动作了。
