The 1st Step: Basic Tricks skateboarding instructional video is supposed to teach the basic beginner tricks of skateboarding. While 1st Step: Basic Tricks does look good and cover some important tricks, for the most part the 1st Step series is mediocre at best. The video gets choked with extra stuff, and the instruction could go a little deeper. However, 1st Step isn't badly done - in fact, the video editing is great, and some of the tricks are rare to find teaching on. Read this review!
