FREE Learn to Ride a Skateboard DVD!

Monday January 12, 2009
Learn to Ride a Skateboard FREE DVDLooking for an instructional skateboard video? Don't want to spend money? I've got your solution - check out this crazy free DVD offer! You can download and copy this skateboarding DVD, absolutely free, and absolutely legally!

Here's what their press release says:

Filmed entirely in California and independently produced by Eric Muss-Barnes, veteran skateboarder and artist, Learn To Ride A Skateboard is a new skateboarding instructional DVD which showcases the teaching talents of professional skateboarder Holly Lyons - ranked the #1 Female Bowl Skateboarder in the World according to her standings in the 2006 World Cup Skateboarding.

Unlike every other skateboarding instructional video ever produced, Learn To Ride A Skateboard is available absolutely free-of-charge and people are actually encouraged to copy the DVD and give it away. Created without any copy-prevention security, when the DVD is placed in a computer, instructional files are available on the disc explaining how to duplicate it.

Free is a tough price to beat! You can order the DVD from the Learn to Ride a Skateboard website, or you can just download it and make your own DVD - which is the way they would prefer it. Want to have a free instructional skateboarding DVD to give out at your next event, or at your shop, or camp? Make your own, and hand them out!

I haven't seen the video yet, so I don't know how good it is - I'm hoping to have a review of it up soon. Until then, if you watch it, come back and leave a comment below and tell us all what you think of it!

This DVD is a great way to get started with some good interviews and info in it. The DVD keeps a light hearted feel throughout the entire production.

The downloading is a little confusing, but I do think spending $7 would be well worth it for shipping if you aren’t technical enough to download/burn the DVD yourself.
