January 2023 Skateboarding Archive – Reiver Skateboarding Hub

Welcome to the January 2023 archive. If you’re hunting for the early‑year buzz, this is the spot. We’ve pulled together everything that went live in the first month of 2023, so you can catch up in one go.

What you’ll find in this archive

Even though the post list is short this month, the bits we did share are all about getting you rolling. Think quick skill tips for street tricks, a rundown of local skate spots that opened up in winter, and a short recap of the UK skate competition that wrapped up in early January.

One post broke down how colder temps affect board grip and gave simple tricks to keep your wheels biting. Another highlighted a community meet‑up at the Manchester skatepark, where newcomers swapped stories and tried a few new slides. We also posted a quick guide on maintaining your board in winter—cleaning bearings, checking trucks, and storing your deck so it doesn’t crack.

If you love video content, there’s a short clip of a local pro landing a front‑side 180 on a newly built ledge. The video runs under a minute but shows the exact foot placement, so you can try it on your own board. It’s the kind of practical demo that saves you hours of trial and error.

Where to go next

January may be light on posts, but the rest of 2023 is packed. Jump over to the February archive for a deep dive into new skateboard tech, including a review of the latest deck materials. March brings a guide on building your own DIY skate spot at home.

Don’t stop here—use the navigation bar at the top to explore categories like "Tips & Tricks," "Events," and "Gear Reviews." Each category holds dozens of articles that will help you level up faster than you think.

Should a child learn to ski or snowboard first?

Should a child learn to ski or snowboard first?

Children should start with skiing first and then gradually move on to snowboarding. Skiing is much easier to learn at first, as it is more stable, and the skills learned can be transferred to snowboarding later. Skiing is also less intimidating and requires less balance.
