“I haven't skated in 15 years since high school and I just started getting back into it. I wish I had "Volume 1" back then but its never too late to start skateboarding. I'm loving it, I like the systematic approach to the volumes and been having tons of fun skating again. Thanks Braille team and hopefully these old bones can handle doing tricks again.”

“A great start to get me and my boys into skateboarding together. I'm 41, I've only really cruised around on a longboard off and on for the last 6 or so years. My 7 and 12 year old boys are really into skateboarding and want to learn along with me. I can now do a decent stationary ollie, working on a moving ollie. I highly recommend SMS.”

The Story Behind Skateboarding Made Simple
My name is Aaron Kyro and I have been skateboarding for over 29 years. I currently ride Pro for ReVive Skateboards and I have been sponsored by some of the world's largest skateboard brands including Volcom, Real, Thunder, Bones, Swiss Bearings, and Circa shoes! Rather than telling you that I know how to skate and can teach you, I figured it would be better if I just showed you one of my personal skateboard video parts. So here you go…
What exactly is Skateboarding Made Simple?
I have been teaching people how to skateboard for many years and have found the key things in common amongst new skaters. I have figured out what skaters run into that prevents them from being able to land kickflips, heelflips, or any other tricks they may have trouble with.
New skaters running into this problem often get frustrated and give up. It is true that skateboarding does require practice and work. You don’t just wake up one morning with the ability to land 360 flips every time. It is also true that there is an exact, correct gradient to learning all of the tricks. There are exact ways to do each and every trick there is. I have isolated the exact motions necessary to doing each trick and broken them down into practice steps. Doing these practice steps separately drills in the muscle memory so that you can then put all the steps together and learn the full trick. This is a completely new method of learning it is not just a trick tip video.
If you are really into skateboarding and you REALLY WANT TO PROGRESS FAST, this video is for you! Once you get the learning technique down, you will use it for the rest of your skateboard career, I guarantee it!

Two things, really:
1) This is a full lesson plan that has all of the tricks together in one sequence one after the next.
2) This video was created with the purpose of taking your through all of the basics in the best possible sequence so that you can master the fundamentals of skateboarding. Using those fundamentals and building a solid base you can then go from there and master the more hard tricks because you are building a solid base to learn from. We are always striving to create the highest quality tutorials bot for free on YouTube and for sale on our website and after 13 years of doing this I still consider the SMS series my most complete and best video series.
I recommend you skate for at least 20 minutes every day. This consistency will really really build up your skills. Start off with the easiest trick on the list and then work your way up the trick list every day until you can do them all. 20 minutes a day will get you a lot farther then 3 hours 1 day a week. The amount of repetition you do on the practice steps will determine how fast you build the muscle memory and learn the tricks.

Customer Reviews
My 10 year old recently took up skateboarding, and I have never skated. Her only teacher was this video, and she is up and skating and loving it!
Great
If your thinking about buying volume 1 to test the waters before you plung in, and fully invest in buying all the volumes of Skateboarding Made Simple... that's just fine, but if your ready to fully get your skate-on, all of these digital downloads are amazing and literally just waiting for you. I personally learned best with Aaron Kyro volumes 1-6 but really the entire series is truly epic. It's just as simple as add any volumes to your Braille cart, digital or DVD version, get your paid copys and learn how to skate the fastest way that I have seen for skateboarders of any age. Commit, learn the skate tricks, and shred the gnar.... P.S. don't forget to check out my art on Instagram at pjh_studios. From Paul with PJH STUDIOS. Don't be bored skate a Braille board.
Wow - thanks so much for this review! We're glad the SMS series has helped you! Keep skating and progressing :)

Thanks for your review! Have fun skating!
Music is too loud, it looks old and the whole body movement in the tricks is missing. Really disappointing
