  Skating goofy in skateboarding means your right foot is on the front of the board and you push with your left foot. In pro skateboarding, most of the skaters skate regular which is where your left foot is on the front of the board and you push with your right foot. There aren't many goofy skaters that are pro out there, but there are a couple and they make a name for the goofy skaters.

The shoes also include PopCush insoles on the inside of the shoe which are really nice providing an easier pop and impact protection. The shoe also has good protection over your ankle which is really nice because your board has less of a chance to...

Tony Hawk is an excellent man and I am proud that he is a big part of skateboarding and its community. Starting with the Birdman's skill, in total Tony won 73 titles over the span of his career. Tony was named the top vert skater from 1984 to 1996 and he also created several moves impacting the entire sport of skateboarding.      Furthermore, Tony Hawk has done alot for the community of skateboarding which pushed not only his career but the careers of many others at the same time. Firstly, he created and funded The Skate Park Project, which is a project that helps communities build public skateparks in underserved areas. Over 10 million dollars was funded into The Skatepark Project which all went into the development of over 600 skateparks worldwide. In addition, througho...
