Skateboarding Tricks
Kickfilp- This trick is done by putting your feet in the ollie position. Your foot that is in the middle of the board should be different this time. Move it down toward the side that is facing you and turn it at a 45º angle. Now ollie, but kick with your front foot downward to make it spin. Wait for it to rotate and then catch the board with your back foot. Once you have landed with both feet on the board you have completed the Kickflip.
180 ollie- Start by putting your strong foot on the front of the board and the weak one in the middle of the board. Then slightly lean to the front of the board and let the back end come up halfway. Place your weak foot on the side of the board and turn it the way that you are comfortable with. When you see the board in front of you get back to normal position as soon as you can. Once you have landed you have completed the 180.
Pop shove it- To do a pop shove-it roll along (try doing it standing still and on the grass if you are a beginner). Begin as if you were to ollie, drag your front foot up the board but drag it slightly over towards your body. While doing this the back foot should be pushing the tail end of the board in an opposite direction to the front foot. The board should travel 180 degrees in the air ON THE WAY UP. It should be caught at the peak of height with both feet and stomped to the ground. A good pop shove-it is caught and the very peak of it's flight and any good skater will do exactly that.
