Another huge moneymaking plan that someone else beat me to the punch on. I guess I’d better get moving on my 900 phone-skating number.

Speaking of techniques for improving your skateboarding without actually skating, some crazy fool is giving away his tips for success! Check out the video for How to be awesome at skateboarding after the jump. – Thanks to Griptape Flip and others for the tip.
Secrets of Skateboarding- Skateboard Trick Tips Exposed!
Is this for real? It seems like a joke, but I suppose it is possible that someone thinks they can make money off of unsuspecting kids this way. Skateboarding really has reached a different level if people think they can make money with this type of garbage. If on the odd chance, anyone has actually paid for this crap, we’d love to see it. It’s almost too easy to make fun of. Maybe we should take up a collection and buy it just to see. If it was actually printed, I’d pay a buck to see it, but a download… no way.

It’s pretty funny overall if you stick with it. This kid should be Grover’s intern… or maybe vice versa.

Hahahaha you are are so stupid. Do you KNOW how easy it is to lure sucker fish like YOU in for my scam?
Obviously not or you wouldn’t have read this far.
Ha Ha, advertisement works. You just supported me!
MuHAHAHAHAHAHA EVERY CLICK IS A DIME FOR ME!

These books didn’t help my skating but they made my penis grow an extra 7.75 inches. Totally worth every cent.
Tony Waters
Yes! You should buy my piece of bullshit book that I use to scam loser kids with! All I do is watch trick tip videos and repeat exactly what they say and tell you to practice! I’m now bathing in my piece of crap pool and drinking turd juice, FUCK ME!!! 😀
Jesse

secrets to radicalness? they have books like that for golf too. as far as the kid on video, i thought it was great. i have seen loads of kids that follow that philosophy, but somehow they are not as funny. i dont know why theres a picture of a ramp plans book though. thrasher has sold plans for years, and it’s not really stupid at all to tell people how to build one…we’re not all diy bowl builders with a buddy that has a mixer.

Just like my experience with Skate and Annoy. I started reading about skateboarding and after a short time I was annoyed.
That post from Tom has to be astroturfing

It took me years to land an ollie north
Tom
Tony’s guide is awesome i bought it and after 2hours of practicing i was able to land a 1 foot ollie and this is after never using a skateboard ever before

Tony Waters also has made another site skateboard-trick-tips.com where he lists a bunch of trick tips, then has a review section where he rates professionally made trick tip videos, then compares his ever changing ebook, to the very videos where he gets his material from! Each review ends up with suggesting his rip off ebook Secrets of Skateboarding! I am telling you, this guy cant even do the tricks that he’s claiming to teach. If you are reading this Tony Waters, I am going to expose you as much as I can! I hope Tony Hawk sues you for using his “Secrets of Skateboarding” title! I should have never fallen for your scam! Now you got a mad consumer!

That kid rules. So funny. Best Youtube tricktip I have ever seen.

I would definitely like to see this book. He does do a good job at sparking curiousity about his claims. Where “Tony Waters” falls short is, it’s a book and he does not preform any of the tricks himself. Plus he seriously has absolutely zero credit in skateboarding. I beleive what he does is, studies the best skateboard instructional videos out, and then, since he has an e book, he updates his text with his newly ripped off expertise. Show yourself Tony Waters! I know you’re going to read this!

It’s that true? u can’t become a good sk8er if u don’t practice and thinking a lot, skateboarding = practice , practice , not abracadabra and u can make a hardflip… tell me somebody who bought this book, what he get from this book.. thanks
john
i want this book so bad
Frook
It’s unbelievable, no pressure to buy this, right? I mean it’s only highlighted in yellow and constantly reaffirming that one is making a “HUGE” mistake if they pass this up…garbage. Well, it makes me laugh because of its claim and then it’s garbage, poor kids that want tips might waster their cash on this. So i take it this is embracing the commercial money making aspect of skateboarding.
colin walsh rules
i think this kid is pretty funny, because there are a lot of kids that do that w/o the joke aspect
damienhialation
I bought them… They didn’t help my skateboarding, but they did wonders for my self-esteem. I haven’t cried after sex in months! Thank you Tony Waters!

I can’t believe there isn’t anyone with anything to say about any of this.
