 Excellent
Reviewer: Randy Given Manchester, CT 10-28-2003
This is an excellent video for beginners (and parents of beginners!). My son is just getting started, after having watched Tony Hawk for many years and playing video games. This video really covers a lot of ground, which parents should also watch. It gives a great start for beginners to learn tricks. Definitely recommended.
Cool

do an ollie, heelflip,pop shuv-it,kickflip,double kickflip, and boardslide.I can also nollie and feeble grind and manual.I've only been skating for 2 or 3 years and this video has been a big help. I would definetly recommend this video to a beginner.
Best Skate DVD ever!!!
Reviewer: M.S.A. California 01-18-2005
I got this about a week ago on barnesandnoble.com. It just arrived today. I also borrowed my friend's skate video with Andy Macdonald in it and it was short and did not teach you the tricks that well (I mean that if you ask someone else who knows how to do it, they will say that Andy only said a little part of how to do the trick). His is the average skating video and the stough it teaches are as follows: Ollie, Kickflip, Shuv-it, Heelflip, boardslide, and to always wear a helmet. The video also only took about 30 sec. on each trick. Now, the stough Tony Hawk's trick tips vol. 1 skate boarding basics teaches you are as follows: boards, wheels, trucks ,bearings, safety equipment, pushing, turning, ollies, 180 ollies, shove-its, kickflips, heelflips, pumping on mini-ramps, kickturns, dropping in on mini ramps, rock to fakies, boardslides, lipslides, 50-50 grinds, noseslides, tailslides, 5-0 grinds, nosegrinds, and finally, crooked grinds. Tony also takes about 1-2 min. explaining each trick. What I am trying to say is this video teaches you way better than the competition. I highly recomend it.
 Not THAT much help
Reviewer: "mouthy86" Grand Island, New York United States 07-29-2003
Though the movie does show step by step how a trick is done its nothing like jsut doing out and practicing yourself. It does not let you know that skateboarding is much about your own style and how YOU compelete a trick. Don't waste the money...just go ask a friend how its done and learn it your own way. --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition
 Helpful I suppose
Reviewer: "mouthy86" Sudbury, Massachusetts United States 06-29-2003
Basically, they show tricks being done slowly and give advice on how to do them correctly. This can be very helpful or totally useless depending on how you use it. It is something that you only watch a couple times and then never watch again.
Helpful

My 12 year old son is very happy with this DVD saying he "wished he had found it a long time ago." Each trick seems to broken down in a step-by-step format that he found very helpful.
Holds your interest at first, but fades quickly
Reviewer: Anonymous Tucson, Baja Arizona 11-10-2002
OK, this is Andy's dad writing this review. Dad got this, I mean Santa got this for Andy, a 10-year-old Skater dude. He watched it a few times and raved about how great Tony Hawk was, then the DVD got set aside and he hasn't watched it since. I saw some of it and it was informative and entertaining, but this is definitely something I'd recommend that you borrow from a friend who has it, or check it out if it's at your local library. Unlike great movies on DVD, this will get a few watches and then sit gathering dust...
very good
Reviewer: Myles Canada 09-25-2002
This is a great video. When I got this video I could do it all easily. Even a double kickflip. But this video will raise the self-esteem of a beginner after they had watched it. If you are looking for a video on how to learn the basics(kickflip, ollie, heelflip, boardslide, shuv it, 180 ollie)this is the video for you.
great and funny way to learn to skate
Reviewer: Alice Sondike Pt. St. Lucie, FL United States 07-07-2002
this is a great video to learn to skate. It shows you how to, ollie ,180 ollie,pop shoveites,kickflips,and heelflips. Next to the mini ramps it tells u how to drop in and rock to fakie.
I am a ten year old boy who can do all these tricks but heelflips.
QUALITY skating video
Reviewer: Gina Hayworth "eandahowse" Pueblo, CO 05-08-2002
Tony Hawks Trick Tips video starts out by showing you safety equipment and selection. The videos orderly and starts out by showing you how to ollie (that's the basic trick you need for a lot of tricks) and then goes on to more advanced tricks. Tony keeps it an interesting and relaxed video by adding some humor after they teach you a couple of tricks, and using pro skateboarders to show you how they do it.The humor helps keep the viewer entertained, but not that you'd be bored anyways with Hawks easygoing and detailed way of teaching the tricks.It'll help you relax so you can learn the tricks better.The videos good, and not weird shaky camera, cheap sound, ect.(if Tony Hawks going to be in it, I don't think it would!) And all in all a fun instructional video. It may sound like I'm a huge fan of Tony Hawks, but I'm not , I just want to learn skate and the video was great compared to a lot of others I'd seen.And I'm impressed with the way Tony, (and the film crew)did the video, real fun! BUY IT! don't get conspiracy weird on me, I'm not a marketer, I'm a seventeen year old girl, that likes to learn to skateboard from the best!
a very fun and educational movie well not really educational
Reviewer: Anonymous 03-24-2002

The best
Reviewer: Justin Ray Johnston City,IL USA 02-03-2002
This video is the best skateboard video I've ever seen! I bought this video about 2 months ago and I'm starting to get good at skateboarding. First on the video Tony Hawk shows you the board set up at the Boardroom skateshop in California. He also tells you what size and shape boards,trucks,wheels,and bearings are right for beginners. Next , Tony Hawk and Kris Markovich show you how to push,balance,and turn. Next,they show you how to do ollies,180 ollies,pop shove-its,kickflips,and heelflips. The good things they show you in these tricks are in goofy and regular footed and what you should be doing and what you shouldn't be doing and the most common mistakes. Next,they take you to mini ramp skating. They show you how to pump, kickturn,drop in,and rock to fakie. next, Tony and Brian Sumner show the boardslide. And that's about it. I would recomend you buy this video if you want to learn how to skate cause Tony,Kris,and Brian have sure showed me how to skate.
Great for the Beginner Boarder
Reviewer: Anonymous 01-18-2002
I bought this for my 10 yr old son. It was fun to watch it with him and actually makes me want to re-learn to board again. Tony teaches with wit, humor and stresses the safety of the sport.
He teaches and shows how to do the tricks in a way that is real. IN other words he doesen't sugar coat the fact these things take LOTS of practice, you will fall and can get hurt but to never give up. My son now has the courage to keep on trying and is finding out he can do it.
Excellent DVD for beginners
Reviewer: Teresa York, PA 12-31-2001
I bought this DVD for my son.He said this DVD was great...he's 14 years old, alot of his friends skateboard so he decided he would learn but having his friends teach him just wasn't cutting it. He now has alot of the basics down and is starting to learn tricks. This is great for the beginner.
very sick
Reviewer: "iambam" 12-16-2001
its a really good starters video i think the transworld starting point one was just as good if not better. they talked through things that will mess u up and other hints like that. tricks like the kickflip, heelflip, shuv-its FS and BS, flat ground 180s BS and FS, and how to Ollie. then on mini ramp/vert had rock to fakie, drop-in, pumping,and kickturns. that part was tony and kris markovish. then on rails the BS boardslide with tony and brian sumner. also board setup,pushing and other stuff like that pretty ill intro to sumner does a kickflip BS 5-0 on a rail and kris does a double kickflip... and mess-ups at the very end ull laugh at.
Awesome!
Reviewer: "iambam" Pueblo, Colorado USA 11-16-2001
This video looks very good. I am definitely getting it. I'm not too good at skateboarding. I think something like this would encourage me to keep on trying, even when I look like an idiot. I think I'll be able to learn from it as well. You should get this too
Good stuff
Reviewer: Terry Kansas 11-04-2001
This video is fun to watch,But you should see Ultimate street Brawls at streetbrawls.com.Whether or not you are trying to learn tricks, since it also contains skateboarding humor and the culture of boarder life. It's a great video for beginners, and it will still be useful once you master the basics. It also teaches more advanced tricks that will provide a challenge for quite a long time, since,
Awesome Skating Video
Reviewer: "mxracero3" California 08-01-2001
This video is possibly the most useful video for beginning skaters that has ever been made. If you are a beginning skater buy this DVD.

Covers the basics and still entertaining
Reviewer: Ryan Olsen Bellingham, WA 06-11-2001
This DVD is great because it has some good skating, even if some of it is pretty basic. Tony Hawk, Kris Markovich and Brian Sumner do a great job of breaking down the fundamentals of skating, as well as showing how to do some basic street tricks such as ollies, boardslides, 5-O grinds and 50-50's. They also do some mini-ramp skating, showing the how-to for kickturns on transitions and rock-to-fakie. They also show the proper way to set up your board.
With the current lack of skate videos on DVD, this one is entertaining, as well as being funny. For more tech skating, "The Storm" from Osiris might be better, but Tony Hawk's Trick Tips is fun to watch for skaters of any skill level, and would be a great introduction for someone just getting started in skateboarding.
good instructions!
Reviewer: "f47r1" 05-20-2001

Reviewer: "cody_clark19" ohio 03-21-2001
very good dvd to teach you the basics. i loved it i learned how to improve all the tricks i already knew how to do. thanks tony!
good overview of the basics
Reviewer: Brian Kessler Cedar Rapids, IA 12-31-2003
This video is a good overview of the basic moves. Tony and Kris show both goofy and regular, which is nice. Its humorous as well. the only problem with the video is that it doesn't cover all that much material. Other than that an excellent video for the beginner.
Helpful Basics
Reviewer: Anonymous 12-30-2000
I got this video for my 9 yr. old son just getting into skateboarding. We found it very informative and easy to follow. Skateboarding is certainly not what it was in my day and I'm glad I got it for my son. It gave us information on skateboard terminology, safety issues and how to build an appropriate board for my son. All tricks were visually easy to follow. The tricks explained by Tony Hawk and friend were easy to understand. We are now able to help my son practice the tricks he is learning from the video. We all educated
Learning From the Best and Greatest
Reviewer: Anonymous 12-05-2000
This is an excellent instruction DVD for beginners with no skating experience, thru intermediate skaters who want to move on to advanced techniques. Although Tony Hawk makes every trick look easier than walking and chewing gum at the same time, his instructions are thorough and understandable. This DVD will make you get off your couch and become a better skater. If you know someone who has a skateboard lying around the house, who used to use it years ago, get them this DVD - they'll be back on their boards having more fun than they ever had on it before.
I love this vidio game!
Reviewer: Anonymous 12-15-2005
This game really lets you understand the moves and shows you the names of moves. It is fun and all ages can play.
