Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice moving yourself forward. Practice turning, or carving, on your longboard. Find a way to stop your skateboard or to slow down. Practice sliding after you've mastered these concepts. Save yourself some road rash and learn to slide with gloves before you get going really fast. Don't worry if your board doesn't look like the one in the videos. Have fun but be careful.

Answer: Take your back foot off the board and use the ground as something to push off of. You can go for one big push, or several smaller pushes. Try to keep your body loose as you push off; the stiffer your body is, the harder it will be to keep your balance. If you want to use your front foot to push off, give it a try. Most boarders don't do this it's called "mongo" but it's more important do ride comfortably than do what other people do. After you get the hang of it, practice generating more speed by doing harder kicks. You'll find that, after you've gotten to a certain speed, one good push will keep you going for quite a while. You'll need to practice turning on your board if you want to ride around. Turning is quite easy. All you have to do is put pressure down on one side of the board, leaning in that direction, and you'll turn: Heel edge carving: you move your heels downward and you turn to your inside. Heel edge turns for people who ride regular give you left turns. Toe edge carving: you move your toes downward and you turn to your outside. Toe edge turns for people who ride regular give you right turns. Foot-braking, where you drag one foot on the ground, is probably the most reliable way to stop or slow down: you're creating a lot of friction with your foot, thereby slowing the momentum of the board down. Other ways that you can break include: Carving: snaking down the hill by leaning from side to side pushes on your wheels and will help keep speed down. Air braking: at high speeds, simply standing up and putting your arms out can slow you considerably. If you ever want to go faster than you can run, save yourself some road rash by learning how to slide. In order to slide, you should either buy slide gloves, or attach squares of cutting board (find it in the supermarket) to work gloves. Once you have your gloves, you're ready to go learn to slide! In order to slide: Point your front foot forward while bending your knees; shift your weight to the front. Slide your back foot off your board, flexing your front knee to make contact with the ground. Apply gradual pressure to stop Try not to use your toes or heel to touch the ground; instead, opt for the middle of your sole. It is also very important you don't put weight on your back foot. Doing that will almost ensure you will slip backwards. Try to keep more weight on the foot you have in front, leaning forwards is much safer than leaning back. Start slow, and work your way up. Rome wasn't built in a day. Getting comfortable with a board takes time and the techniques work for almost any shape and size board. Hard wheels (durometer of at least 86a) break traction easier, making learning to slide easier Longboarding is a ton of fun, but pushing it too hard can cause serious injury. You never think it'll be you until it actually happens to you. Be mindful of potentially dangerous situations and prepare accordingly or take yourself out of them before it's too late. That being said, have a blast cruising on your new toy!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Color in the tab of the can. Drain half of the soda. Crush in the sides of the can. Plant the soda for the trick.

Answer: With black dry erase marker, color in the tab so that it appears to be opened. You want to give the illusion that the tab of the can has been opened. Any other easily removable ink is also a good choice. The black coloring on the tab will be wiped away as part of the act, so make sure the ink can be wiped away quickly and easily. Markers labeled with a "W" denote they are water washable, and will more easily be removed from the can. Paint pens are also widely available and can easily be removed, depending on when they were applied to the can. Using a tack, needle, or other pointed object, punch a small hole in the can. Drain the soda through the small hole until roughly half of the contents remain. The soda will naturally drain to below wherever you placed the hole, so make sure you place the hole high enough to properly pour out the can when performing the trick. If you place the hole too low, position the can such that the can does not leak when you get ready for the trick. Give the can a used, beat-up look by slightly crushing the sides of the can. Make sure you can crush the sides without soda draining out of the hole. Don't crush the can too hard, as this can make restoring the can more difficult. Put the can somewhere that gives the appearance that it has been used and emptied. The trash bin is a good spot, but the recycling bin or simply laying around in a messy room is a good idea as well. Make sure to place the can down so that the remainder of the soda does not leak out through the hole you created. The soda should stay carbonated for a long period of time, provided the can is not jostled or moved too much prior to performance.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Buy plain or unsweetened almond milk, if you are going to flavor it yourself. Sweeten almond milk with maple syrup, honey, agave nectar or granulated sugar. Add 1 of the following flavorings to your milk, according to the flavor you prefer.

Answer:
Commercially-made chocolate or vanilla almond milk is usually fairly high in sugar content, containing more than 20 g (1.7 tbsp.) of sugar per serving. Stir in 1 tbsp. (12 g or 14.8 ml) of the sweetener for every 4 cups (0.95 l) of unsweetened almond milk. Stir very well, until the granules dissolve. Add more, if desired. Flavoring should be done to taste, starting with the measurements below. You can measure enough flavoring to mask the taste of the almond milk altogether or simply to enhance it. Pour in 1 tsp. (4.9 ml) of vanilla extract for every 4 cups (0.95 l) of almond milk. Double the amount if you prefer a strong vanilla taste. Stir well. Create a stronger almond taste by adding almond extract. Pour in 1 tsp. (4.9 ml) of almond extract for every 4 cups (0.95 l) of almond milk. Stir well. Add 1 tbsp. of sugar or agave syrup and 2 tbsp. (14 g) of cocoa powder to 4 cups (0.95 l) of unsweetened almond milk to create chocolate almond milk. Add a pinch of salt. Stir well, until everything has dissolved. Withhold the sugar if you are using plain, sweetened almond milk. Add 1 tbsp. of sugar or agave syrup, 1/2 tsp. (1.3 g) of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. (0.5 g) of nutmeg and 1/8 tsp. (0.25 g) of cloves to 4 cups (0.95 l) of unsweetened almond milk to create chai almond milk. Do not add the sugar if you are using sweetened almond milk. Stir well. The longer you allow the spices to sit in the milk before drinking, the stronger the taste will be.
