Street - These tricks are literally done on the streets using street



furniture such as rails and steps.

Park - Skate parks have an array of ramps, rails and try to mimic some

of

the street furniture found on the streets.

Vert - These are aerial tricks which are usually done on ramps,

especially

half pipes.

If you decide to take up aggressive skating as a hobby or a profession

then

you need the following to get started:

- A pair of beginners skates (expect to pay around $180 for your first

pair

of skates).

- Safety gear: A helmet, Knee pads, Elbow pads, Wrist protection, and a

Bum

saver.

- Cool loose clothing that is hard wearing and you don't mind ruining.

Aggressive skating is one of those sports that seem to go through

periods of

popularity like BMX and Skateboarding, but you will always find some

aggressive skaters in your neighbourhood, or at you local skate park

Finding

other aggressive skaters will help you improve your skills as they can

tell

you what you are doing right or wrong, and skating with friends will

always

motivate you to try a little harder, and push yourself to try a new

trick.
