Will skateboarding on carpet ( or maybe anyhting) with just the skateboard deck ,( no wheels, trucks), improve the actual tricks on the real thing? Thanks.
No, it will not help you at all. I can triple kickflip on a trampoline with just the deck but rarely get a double kickflip on pavement with trucks and wheels. They have a completely different feel. I wouldn't recommend getting used to skating on carpet, cause then you will have to relearn the tricks on pavement that you learned on carpet cause they have to be done a little bit differently on pavement.
yes it can you just need to have a good tail so you can push it down. its also really good to practice popshovets goodluck
it does for some people. people learn diffrently so what mite hep some one may or may not help you. you should definitly try it. it never really work for me but i know people that it has helped and my point is proven by the two answers above me
First off, the I feel carpet boarding has some merit, even without trucks and wheels. It will definitely help you get the feel for having a board under your feet. It's also very helpful when trying to learn spin tricks (like shuvits and big spins). Having no wheels, you wont have the same friction you would on the street (no wheels to rub against the concrete), but you will be able to learn what it is you need to do to spin the board (and build some confidence after landing on it). Carpet-boarding wont help much with pop-type tricks (ie ollies, kickflips, etc). Sure some of us can do those tricks on decks on the carpet, but it's definitely _nothing like doing it with trucks and wheels (it's actually a lot harder on carpet). Carpet also wont help a whole lot with your balance on the street, even with wheels. With just a deck, you'll be sliding all over the place. With trucks and wheels, the carpet effectively stops your wheels from sliding out from under you, and hence, doesnt require your to keep your weight distributed the same way as you would on concrete.
