This is how you skate

I seriously doubt the practical application of the Guardian's guide to skateboarding:

Step 1

First things first. To get on a skateboard, stand to the right of the board. Keep your right leg on the floor by the front right wheel, and step your left leg on to the board. Position it over the front bolts, foot facing forwards.NB. These instructions suit most right-handers - switch sides if you're left-handed or don't feel comfortable

Step 2
Step your right leg up on to the board, positioning it over the back bolts, facing outwards. Bend your knees and get your balance - holding your arms out should help

Step 3
To move, simply push along the floor with your back foot. Keep pushing to build up speed, or bring your foot back on to the board to cruise along

Step 4
To turn, keep your weight on your back foot and gently lift the front of the board, replacing it on the ground in the direction you want to go
