Paper Skateboard or "Tech Deck" by Themanmatt13

Step 4: Your Done!

One of the main things to do with this is to ollie. To do so push back on the tail with your ring finger, and when the board goes up quickly mover your hand to get it in the air.

You can jump over stuff, do stalls, grinds, and other stuff. Olling is easy to master and once you learn it, the rest is your imagination and new tricks.

Hope you like playing with your new skateboard!

PS. I need to think for a name for these... I used to call them Mech Decks but... if u got a good name LMK please!

instruct0r says: Mar 18, 2008. 2:42 PM
its all one motion really, pop the board on the tail, and move your hand forward, to bring the back of the tail up, at this point you should have the board in the air, now just land, note it does take practice

sk8rdude, I took my paper skateboard to school. I never got it taken away. When I took my tech deck to school my teacher took that away but gave it back in perfect condition. My teacher always gives it back. My math teacher Ms.Sherman hates those she hates every toy or paper used to make a toy. If Ms. Sherman saw one it would be hers forever.
combot55 says: Apr 6, 2008. 2:03 AM
MS? Sherman? I think she hates them cuz shes bitter and alone!
