Extreme Sports

We all know skateboard is an awesome sport. Extreme and fun, it just pushes one to the edge. Guys who play it are dubbed as really cool and adventurous. That’s why a lot of those who do not know this sport attempt to play it, even if it means toppling over and over again!

The beauty of skateboarding lies on the tricks that one can pull off. Without them, this game will turn out to be boring!

So what are your favorite skateboard tricks? If you are a beginner and you want to try this one heck of a sport, figure out the tricks yourself and which of those would be your favorite?

1. Is it the ollie?

A lot of skateboard aficionados believe that this trick is the core of skateboarding. Everything begins and ends with the ollie so if you are already good at it, then you are on your way to becoming a pro.

How does the ollie work anyway? It involves positioning your back foot on the skateboard’s tail, lifting your heel, putting some pressure on the balls of feet, placing front foot in the center, then kicking the tail down hard with your back foot and pulling your front foot up and leveling out the skateboard. After those, you bend your knees and roll on smoothly. Eric Sepulveda is one mean skateboarder who considers ollie as a cinch.

2. Is it the manual?

Manual teaches balance and this one is easy to learn. Just place the back of your foot on the tail and then let your front foot be positioned on the front bolts or whatever feels okay to you. Then lean back and have your front board raised. If you have mastered this, then you can ride away smoothly for the longest time. You can also go from ollie to manual.  Read more...

Hawaii’s Oahu have many fascinating scuba diving locations and perhaps the most popular dive site in Oahu is the Hanauma Bay. Hanauma Bay was formed by the erosion of one side of a volcano crater and is very well protected from the trade winds and surf making it a fantastic scuba diving and snorkeling site in Oahu.

Hanauma Bay’s crystal clear water and diverse coral reef are good introductions to Hawaiian marine environments and its waters are seldom considered to be dangerous to scuba divers.

After the Hanauma Bay are the sea cliffs of Koko Head where scuba diving is done almost exclusively from liveaboard diving boats out of Hawaii Kai. The deep blue color of the water here contrasted beautifully with the mesmerizing white water cascading down the dark brown hilly cliffs.

As you round out Koko Head, you will come into contact with the gusty trade winds. However, the wind will subside when you cruise into Maunalua Bay.

The waters of Maunalua Bay are a lot calmer than the windward side of Oahu. There is even a WW2 fighter plane wreck for those who love wreck diving, an artificial reef of hundreds of concrete modules and even sunken barges. The bay ends at Diamond Head, the final windbreak before the calm waters of Waikiki. There are also some good scuba diving locations off Waikiki on some outer ledges and artificial reefs.

On Maunalua Bay is the Fantasy Reef. Erosion has created many places for the fish to play hide-and-seek. Although live coral coverage is not that high in Fantasy Reef, the corals are healthy and undamaged and thus can be considered as one of the better scuba diving spots in Oahu. Marine life is plentiful here with eels, barracudas, octopus, turtles and sharks are often seen.  Read more...
