HOW TO PLAY A SKATEBOARDS

Skate is a competetion between two or more skaters. The rules of skate are similar to the rules of the basketball game horse.

Rules:

In skate the two or more playes start out a game, many times they will pick who goes first by flipping their board into the air and one player calles out griptape or graphic. if it lands on whichever they picked, they go first.
The first player will start out and do a trick. if they land it then the next player(s) will have to do that trick in the same stance.

If the first player lands a trick, and the following player atttemps the same trick and fails to land it, then they get a letter of the word skate. The players continue playing until one player does not land enough tricks to spell out the word skate. If there are more than two players they continue playing (while the players that lost are eliminated from the game)until there is one man standing that hasnt spelled out the entire word skate.


If you are the player that gets to choose the trick and u succesfully land your trick, then you get another turn to choose a trick, this continues until you dont land a trick.
Questions

Can a player do the same trick twice?

No. If a player could do the same trick twice all they had to do was learn like lazer flips or sumthing and they could do it 5 times in a row and i doubt anyone could keep up. A player can do a trick in a different stance.
Like if someone does a kickflip another player can do a nollie/fakie/ or switch kickflip.


This isnt tony hawk version budds

Some people think that when they play skate all the other person has to do is do a trick better than that to not get a letter. Like someone would do a pop shuvit down a two stair and the other player would do a nollie heel and say that the nollie heel was better.

how long do I have to hold a trick
Some people say when your doing a trick all you have to do is stick the landing for 3-4 seconds. So if somone does a tre flip and lands it and rides away clean for 3 seconds then hits a random little pebble its okay. but some people dont like that rule.



Heres an example of a game of skate.

There are 3 players. they decide to start in order of age.

Players A, B, and C.

Player A goes first. he does a varial.

Player B goes and lands a varial,

Player C goes and catches the varial high but he only lands it with one foot.
oops S for him

Player A goes again he does a kickflip

Player B lands it
Player C lands it and unluckily slips out.
Uh oh looks like player c gets K

Player A goes and does a bs flip
Player b lands it
player c lands it

Player A goes an does a fs flip but doesnt land it so player B gets to do a trick
Player B does a tre flip
Player c doesnt even come close, A for him
Player A lands it but loses his balance. S for him

Player B does a double kickflip
Player c doesnt land it T for him on an unlucky streak.
Player a doesnt land it k for him

Player B does a no comply hardflip
player C gets eliminated because as u can probably guess he doesnt land it
Player a gets an A

Player B does a varial heel
player a gets a T, he doesnt land it


Player b does a switch double kickflip
Player a gets eliminated.

you can watch this and get an idea of how the game is played.
