Beginner Tricks
Ollie
Step 1: put your back foot on the tail and your front foot in the middle of the deck. Step 2 snap the tail, jump and slide your front foot up the deck. Step 3 as soon as you get your ollie high enough press the nose down with your front foot to level it out. Step 3 bend your knees and roll away.
Varial
Step 1: place your back foot on the tail normally and your front foot like this /. Step 2 pop that tail and kick your back foot underneath you and your front foot ahead just a bit. Step 3: let it spin a 180 underneath you and then land it.
PoP Shuvit
This is my opinion so do what you like! Have your front foot right behind the screws and have it at a slant toward the nose, have your back foot on the tail like you would as an ollie. Pop up the skateboard as in a ollie and spin the board in 180º spin to the left, then land on the board with both feet and sk8 off!!!
Intermediate Tricks
180 Nose Plant
Step 1: Skate up to a bench of something flat that is atleast 1 1/2 feet off the ground.Step 2: Ollie your nose up on the bench. Step 3: Place yer front foot on the nose of your board and make sure you press on it firmly so it won't move. Step 4: Spin your back foot (with the board) around the front end of your board just until it is a few inches from the bench. Step 5: Jump off the bench and ride on.
Nose Varial
Ride with your front foot on the tip of the nose and your back foot on the screws of your tail truck, put pressure on the nose, lift your body and swing your back foot out. Let the board spin 180 underneath your. Land and ride away.
Kickflip
To do this trick you have to place your feet like in an ollie, and pop the tail. Kick your front foot off the side of the deck to make it spin. Let it spin once and land back on it.
Nollie
A nollie is just a front ollie. Put your front foot on the nose and your back foot around the middle. Now, press down on the nose as you would the tail on an ollie. Then you Slide your back foot back to catch the tail. Then at the peak of the nollie put your feet on the trucks and brace for landing. Land and ride away
Fakie Disco Flip
To do this trick you roll fakie which for those of you who don't know is rolling backwards with your backfoot in front. Do a kickflip and in the air do a body varial.
Melon Grab
Plant your feet like your going to ollie, now snap the tail and slide your front foot up just like an ollie, but as the board levels out scrunch your back foot up to you and extend your front foot as far as it will go keeping both feet on the board, now reach down under your upper leg with your front hand and grab your heelside, hold it fo as long as you can without killing yourself, level your feet out, and land knowing that musta' looked pretty damned cool.
Hard Tricks
Ollie Impossible
First learn to oliie real high. I mean real high. Then as you slam the tail slide your front foot up and off the nose. With the rear foot push the tail forward. The board will do a vertical flip then if you jumped high enough land on the board and ride away.
Heelflip
Place your back foot normal and your front foot on the toe-side of the board, snap the tail and kick your heel up and out let it spin, then land.
Backside 180 Heelflip
Learn BACKSIDE 180s, then learn how to HEEL FLIP once you learned them combine them. First you start your BACKSIDE 180 then at the same time throw your front foot out toward the heel side, keep doing the whole 180 after spinning your body catch the board bend your knees and land and ride away clean.
Frontside 180 Kickflip
To do this you go at a moderate speed. Snap the tail, kickflip and frontside ollie at the same time. Don't get your feet all mixed up with the board, just catch it and roll away.
"Boneless" Fingerflip (Old School)
When riding up a ramp 1) grab the inside of the board with your left or right hand and plant with the opposite foot. 2) finger flip (or spin) the board and catch it. It'll usually spin 2 or more times. 3) since you've footplanted and gotten air, you have enough time to let the board spin about 4 times 4) after catching the board, land and ride smoothly away. try this at home.
Big Spin
The big spin is a very hard trick, what you do is you ride fakie and spin the board a full 360 and while it is spining you turn your body 180 the same way the board is spining so it's like your doing halfcab and a pop shuvit together.
Backside Crooked Grind Shuvit
1. ollie high enough to get your front truck onto the object that you are grinding. Once on, put most of you're weight on your front foot with the board stuck to the object grinded... the nose of the board should be stuck on the ledge while you are pushing the grind. 2. when you feel the grind start to slow down, use you're front foot(the foot on the nose) and give it a slight push and the board should spin under you're feet. Catch it and ride away.
