How To Do The Walk The Dog On A Skateboard

All skateboarders need to learn how to walk the dog on a skateboard.  This is a fairly difficult trick and should be approached slowly and carefully by beginner skateboarders and the proper protective clothing should be worn.  The following guide will help you learn how to walk the dog on a skateboard.

To walk the dog on a skateboard, you will need:

• A skateboard
• Knee pads and elbow pads
• A helmet
• Protective clothing

1. Put on your protective clothing, including knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet.  Skateboarding tricks are difficult and there is always the chance of becoming mildly to seriously injured while attempting a new trick.  Please use proper safety precautions.
   
2. The first step to walk the dog on a skateboard is to place one foot at the nose of the skateboard and one in the center of the board.
   
3. Use your foot to swing the nose around to the back, so that the tail becomes the nose and the nose becomes the tail.  Be sure not to spin too quickly or push down too hard.  This could cause you to fall and ruin the walk the dog trick or cause you to become injured.  The foot placed on the middle of the skateboard should remain on the middle of the skateboard throughout walk the dog.
4. Next, place your foot back on the nose of the skateboard and flip it back to the starting position.
   
5. Practice walk the dog on the skateboard many times while wearing your protective gear.  Eventually you will be able to perform walk the dog like a professional skateboarder.
