Forest skating

Skate where no man has skated before.

A forest doesn't seem like the ultimate skatespot, but if you're creative you can find ways to skate everywhere. And skating where no one has skated before can give quite a kick!

I have to warn you though, only use an old board because this will mess up basically every part, especially bearings and griptape.

The biggest issue with skating in forests is surely the ground. If the ground is hard and dry, it can be possible to skate it, but this is almost never the case. But put some plywood on any surface and it becomes skateable. You won't need that much, just enough to get you rolling.

After that, just use what nature gives you. Find a broken tree and put it on a slope so you can easily grind down it without needing lots of speed.

Try to wallride a tree, drop from a rock or ollie a little forest stream?

you should try (if possible) finding a creek with a low tree going from one end to the other and use a kicker to reach it and boardslide it fair enough it would be scetchy but it would look awesome (Y)
