The next trick you will want to learn is the 180 ollie.
180 OLLIE
Ok first start out at a comfortable speed dont do this trick not moving because you might get to used to it and lose your balance when you try to do it moving! Alright now get in the ollie position and ollie and twist your body the oppisite way you are going to turn then spen your body out the oppisite way and slide you front foot up and take your back foot and front foot at the same time and spin them the way your body is spenning and then when the board starts to stop spenning land it evevnly make sure you dont land the board sideways then you wont be able to ride away straight and you might lose your balance and fall off!!
GRIP TAPE
Some tips to keep up with mantinence with your skateboard.
Does your grip tape get muddy easy and you cannot get the mud out well this is a tip to get it out fast and easy most of the time. All you do is take some windex ( or any kind of glass cleaner) Get a scrub brush and spray the glass cleaner on the Grip tape untill it is covered up with the glass cleaner and take the scrub brush and scrub and then when the wet mud comes out take a dry rag and wipe it off and when all the mud is out that you can get let it sit and dry for a half hr. or so and there you go no more mud!
BEARINGS
How to Keep up woth the bearings with your board, when they get greasy or dirty just take a dry rag and wipe them off. Do they feel real dry? well just take some type of lubricator Example.(wd40) and spray a little bit on each bearing and when you ride again you will see a big improvement! (hold on tight!)
KING PIN
Are your trucks lose and no matter how tight you get them they become lose again? well it may be your king pin that is the pin if you take the trucks and the sqaure that holds the screws in on the top of your deck. and there will be a pin that is proabbly lose you need to push it up as far as it will go and hold it there and tighten the truck and then put it back on to the board.
Ho- grab
How to do the ho grab it is simple it is for small ramps and halfpipes. What to do, first when you hit the ramp kick the board out in front of you and when you are about to land pull the board back under you.
How to do your first rail slide.
First you must be able to ollie as high as the rail is you are gonna slide. Ok get a fast start as you are moving fast ollie on to the rail and turn while you are in the air. So you will go down it sideways and when you are at the end of the rail turn the board back straight and ride away.
HOW TO GRIND.
Ok start out the same way you would if you are gonna slide and this time ollie on to the rail straight and make sure you land on your trucks not your the bottom of your board like you would a slide. When you land on your trucks just grind straight down and you wont even have to worry about turning the board because you will ride right straight off of it.
How to Do a manual.
You must first learn this before you start tail grinds. Ok start at a comfrtable speed and at that speed you will need to push back with your foot on the tail. Then lean back with it and have your front foot in the middle. The board will rise up on its 2 back wheels. You should be able to ride it for at least 7to8 seconds to be able to do a tail grind and then when you want to stop put some of your weight back on the nose and the board will go back down again.
HOW TO DO A NOSE MANUAL.
Ok you will need to learn how to do this before you can nose grind ok do the same thing as a regular manual except put your weight on the nose instead of the tail. you should at least be able to do this for 7to8 seconds.
HOW TO DO A TAIL GRIND.
Ok to do a tail grind you will have to have balance patince and alot of time!! Ok start out at a comfortable speed and when you get close to the rail ollie and when you get on the rail you must quickly lean back and put your back foot on the tail and your front foot in the middle just like a manual. Untile you here your trucks rubbing against the rail. Then when you go to get off of the rail land just like you do when you land a manual put your weight back on the nose.
HOW TO DO A NOSE GRIND
This is just like the tail grind except you gotta put all of pressure with your front foot on the nose and your back foot in the middle.Get at a comfortable speed and ollie on to it and just do a nose manual untile you here your trucks scraping against the rail then stay in that position then when you get close to the end of the rail get back in the riding position and go off. (quick tip) Always lean forward while going down a rail if now when you lean back you will fall and who knows where your board will go.
HOW TO DO A KICKFLIP
Ok first you get in the ollie position and oliie slide your front foot up the board as far as it will go. Then scoot your back foot into the middle and lift up the back foot and kinda lean to the right and this will cause the board to flip. As you go down for your landing make sure you let the board flip all the way around so you dont land on the bottom.
THE DARKSLIDE
This trick (which is a slide) you have to know how to do a kickflip. You have to slide down a rail on your grip tape. Ok get at a comfortable speed like you would doing a regualr slide or grind. Kickflip up there but this time dont let the board flip all the way around when you see the bottom that is what you gotta land on is the bottom and you have to have lots if speed because if you dont the griptape will grip and you will not move. When you land on the bottom slide like you would the first slide jump sideways onto it. The tricky part is getting off it you must do another kickflip but only half way and when you see griptape that is where you should land on your board then ride away.
NOSE GRAB
This trick is pretty simple if you are not afraid to go hi in the air on a skateboard. What you do is if you hit a ramp or you are on a halfpipe when you go into the air you curl your body upwards and grab the nose of the board while you are in the air. Until you get close enough to the ground. You should stop grabbing the nose and get back in the regular position when you are about 5 inches. Away from the ground.Then make your body staight again and land it.
TAIL GRAB
This is the same thing as a nose grab just reach behind you and grab the tail until you get about five inches away from the ground and follow the same directions as you would on a nose grab except use the tail.
