Hello friends and fellow skaters. Okay, In the following there will be a list of tricks. Some being hard or easy. I reccoment starting off with the easy and make your way up to the hard. Kickflip A kickflip is a hard trick, and is the trick you need to learn before you go big, but definitely not impossible. Foot placement: front, on the edge of the board and it should be turned slightly away from you. Back, regular ollie position. Ollie and when you are sliding you foot up slide it out off the deck too. The board should do a flip. Let the board spin under your legs and catch it when the grip tape shows up. Switch-Stance Noseslide to Crooked Grind 1. Ride backwards and parallel to the bench you will be doing this trick on with so much speed you can feel the heat of friction from the air going over your body. 2. Switch-Stance ollie 90 degrees and push the underside of the tail into the edge of the concrete ledge. 3. You should now be sliding a switch-stance noseslide. 4. Shift your weight over the ledge, and push forward on your foot until you feel the truck grinding the edge of the ledge. 5. Yes, Sir you're switch-stance crooked grinding. 6. Come off just as you would for a normal frontside tailslide. And ride away like a stud. Ollie The ollie is the basis of almost every trick there is. The ollie is performed by a number of fairly simple steps: 1. Stand on your board. You should have one foot on the tail (back) of your board. The other foot goes in the middle. Simple enough? Just wait. 2. Hit you tail. (This is the gentle way of saying smash your tail into the ground with most or all of your might.) 3. As you are "smashing", jump into the air off your smashing foot. 4. Lift up your front foot into the air. 5. Lift up your back foot into the air. TIP!!! Both of your lifting feet should come up at pretty much the same time. Your back foot should follow your front foot upward. TIP!!! A common mistake is not to lift up your back foot and keep it straight. It is important that you do so. 6. Get the board level in the air. Do this by catching up your back foot with your front foot. 7. Stay on your board and land. When you come down bend your knees to cushion your landing. Manual Get some speed going first of all. Then push back slightly on the tail. It helps to keep your knees bent for balance. Make sure that the tail doesn't touch the ground. Pretty Simple, Huh???? POP SHOVE-IT OK. This trick is rad. Depending on how you skate, you may find it easy, or real difficult, but once you got it, it's really simple. Right, the first thing to do is get you footing right. What you gotta do is place your back foot on the tail at a slight angle, depending on which way you want to pop the shove-it. Next put you front foot to the heel edge of the board, adjust your foot to however you feel comfortable. Now pop the tail down as you would with an ollie, but instead of sliding your front foot up toward the nose, kick the board around, use you back foot to guide the board around. keep you eyes on the board at all times, this should help you land it correctly. Once the board has gone 180 degrees catch it with your feet (push you feet back onto the board). Hopefully you will have just landed a pop shove-it. The pop shove-it can either be done 180 or 360, the board goes 360 degrees. At first it's best to try this move stood still or holding onto a rail or something, but see what you feel best with, then try it moving. Manual to Shuv-it first learn ollies, manuals, and shuv-its 1.ride up to an object and ollie into a manual 2.ride the manual until you reach the edge of the object 3.shuv-it 4.land 5.ride away """360 EASY CASPER""" 1. PLACE THE BOARD UPSIDOWN AND PUT BACK FOOT ON THE TAIL, WITH THE FRONT FOOT UNDER THE MIDDLE. 2. NOW, JUMP PULLING THE BOARD UP WITH YOU AND PUSH DOWN THE TAIL WHILE KICKING OUT WITH YOUR FRONT FOOT. (THE BOARD SHOULD DO A 360 WHILE FLIPPING SEVERAL TIMES) 3. KEEPING YOUR EYES ON THE BOARD AT ALL TIMES PUSH DOWN YOUR FEET AFTER THE BOARD HAS DONE THE 360 AND YOU DEE THE GRIP TAPE. ....HOPEFULLY YOU LAND IT, BECAUSE IT�S A HELL OF A TRICK WHEN DONE RIGHT.... pressure flip 1: get speed 2: position your back foot at the edge of the back tail with your foot halfway on the tail and halfway on the flat part of the deck. let your toes hang off the board. 3:then put your front foot on the board where it can easily be removed. 4: then as you pop the tail you have to sweep your back foot and move your front foot out of the way simultaneously. you have to get used to not using your front foot or else the board will not flip correctly. 5 once the board is in the air position your body over the board and try to catch it . once you catch it land with your feet over the bolts and roll away 50-50 YOU CAN DO THIS TRICK ON A CURB,RAIL, AND BENCH. ANYTHING YOU CAN GRIND ON. STEP 1.COME UP WRIGHT NEXT TO THE OBSTACLE. STEP 2. OLLIE AND LAND WITH BOTH YOUR TRUCKS ON THE OBSTACLE AND GRIND FOR A WHILE. STEP 3.NOW YOU CAN EITHER TURN YOUR BOARD OFF OR OLLIE OFF.(AFTER A WHILE YOU WILL BECOME REALLY GOOD AT IT AND START KICK-FLIPING OFF) The Nollie This trick receivers that you are god at Ollies cause it�s exactly the same thing, think you can do it. 1.GET SPEED 2.Place your front foot at the front tail and the back foot on the middle of the board. 3.smash the front tail down, drag the other leg (back leg)up. 4.This should cause you to ollie, if not PAY ATTENTION. 5. Land with your knees bent and skate into the sunset. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
