Creatine and Skateboarding, really? Can it help? First up, It Increases Power Output. That means it can help us to have more power. More power means more pop, better ability to hold balance in manuals and grinds, and a better ability to do tricks.

With the X-Games just finished down in Sydney, It’s got me all excited for the Olympics. The level of skateboarding and the entertainment the X-Games brings is undeniable.

Here’s a look into the Olympic level skate training facilities currently popping up around the world. Which park would you most want to skate?

I'd skate every day. I remember buying my first ever skate VHS - Globe Opinion. Chet Thomas in it mentions: "I'll skate 'till I cant walk". This instantly resonated with me.
I'd skate too and from school, I'd skate after school, on the weekends and any/ all other moments I'd have my board with me.
