TRICK TIPS
There are many awesome tricks out there but you should start out with the basics.

THE OLLIE

STEP 1. FIRST YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT IF YOU LIKE TO RIDE REGULAR FOOT (LEFT FOOT IN FRONT) OR REGULAR FOOT (RIGHT FOOT IN FRONT).

STEP 2. ONCE YOU HAVE FOUND OUT WHICH STANCE YOU ARE THEN COMES THE FOOT PLACEMENT. PUT YOUR LEAD FOOT AT ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF THE BOARD. PLACE YOUR BACK FOOT ON THE EDGE OF THE TAIL BUT YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR FOOT HANGING OF THE BACK TO MUCH. BUT YOU CAN IF YOU FIND IT EASIER OR IF YOU FIND IT TO YOUR LIKING.

STEP 3. PUSH OFF WITH YOUR BACK FOOT TO GET A LITTLE SPEED. WHEN YOU ARE FIRST LEARNING THE OLLIE TRY NOT TO GO TO FAST BECAUSE YOU COULD FALL. ONCE YOU ARE GOING AT A COMFORTABLE SPEED THEN GET YOUR FEET BACK INTO POSITION FROM STEP 2. BEND YOUR KNEES A LITTLE. THE MORE YOU BEND YOUR KNEES THE HIGHER YOU CAN GO.

STEP 3. WHEN YOUR FEET ARE IN PLACE JUMP UP INTO THE AIR, AT THE SAME MOMENT PUSH DOWN ON YOUR TAIL WITH YOUR BACK FOOT. THIS SHOULD CAUSE THE FRONT OF THE BOARD TO RISE OFF THE GROUND. AFTER YOU HAVE JUMPED INTO THE AIR AND PUSHED DOWN ON THE TAIL, SLIDE YOUR FRONT FOOT UP. WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO REACH THE PEAK HEIGHT LEVEL OUT BY BRINGING YOUR KNEES TO YOUR CHEST.

STEP 4. TO LAND JUST PUT YOUR FEET ON THE FRONT BOLTS AND LAND WITH YOUR KNEES BENT.


THE FRONTSIDE 180
STEP 1. GAIN A LITTLE SPEED JUST LIKE IN THE OLLIE.

STEP 2. PUT YOUR FEET INTO OLLIE POSITION. WIND UP IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION YOU ARE GOING TO SPIN.

STEP 3. DO AN OLLIE, BUT WHILE YOU ARE IN THE AIR UNWIND INTO THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO SPIN AND THEN TURN YOUR BODY AND FEET. WHEN YOU HAVE TURNED 180 DEGREES YOU SHOULD STOP ROTATING.

STEP 4. LAND ON YOUR BOARD WITH YOUR KNEES BENT AND YOUR FEET SHOULD LAND ON THE TRUCK BOLTS.


THE POP SHOVE-IT

STEP 1. GET A LITTLE SPEED.

STEP 2. GO INTO OLLIE POSITION.

STEP 3. DO AN OLLIE BUT AT THE SAME TIME KICK YOUR BACK FOOT OUT AND SWING IT. THIS SHOULD CAUSE THE BOARD TO SPIN.

STEP 3. AFTER THE BOARD HAS SPUN 180 DEGREES CATCH IT BY PLACING YOUR FRONT FOOT AT THE FRONT TRUCKS AND BACK FOOT ON THE BACK BOLTS.

STEP 4. LAND ON THE BOARD AND RIDE AWAY.

THIS TRICK IS HARD AT FIRST BUT ONCE YOU GET USED TO IT YOU FIND OUT HOW MUCH POWER TO USE TO SPIN THE BOARD.





THE KICKFLIP

TO DO THIS TRICK YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DO OLLIE'S CONSITANTLY, AND YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO OLLIE AT A PRETTY MODERATE HEIGHT. IF YOU TRY THIS AND YOU CANNOT OLLIE THAT HIGH YOU CAN INJURE YOURSELF, OR YOU CAN BREAK YOUR BOARD.

STEP 1. GAIN A LITTLE SPEED BY OUSHING OFF YOUR BACK FOOT. GO INTO OLLIE POSITION BUT THERE ARE A FEW CHANGES TO MAKE IN YOUR FOOTING.

PLACE YOUR FRONT FOOT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE MIDDLE OF THE BAORD, AND THE FRONT BOLTS. PLACE YOUR FRONT FOOT AT 35-35 DEGREE ANGLE. YOUR HEEL OF YOUR FRONT FOOT SHOULD BE HANING OFF A LTTLE BUT YOU CAN HAVE IT HANG OFF AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE.

THE BALL OF YOUR BACK FOOT SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE EDGE OF THE TAIL. PUT YOUR BACK FOOT AT AN ANGLE ABOUT THE SAME AS YOUR FRONT FOOT.

STEP 2. ONCE YOU HAVE GOT THE CORRECT FOOTING DO AN OLLIE BUT WHILE SLIDING YOUR FRONT FOOT UPWARD SLIDE IT TOWARDS THE HEEL SIDE AND WHEN YOUR FOOT IS ALMOST AT THE EDGE OF THE BOARD KICK DOWN. THE BOARD SHOULD DO A FULL ROTATION AROUND.

STEP 4. WHILE YOUR ARE IN THE AIR TRY TO CATCH THE BOARD. WHEN YOU SEE THE GRIP TAPE PLACE YOUR FRONT FOOT ON THE BAORD AND THEN YOUR BACK FOOT. YOU SHOULD TRY LANING WITH EACH FOOT SO THAT YOU GET COMFORTABLE. THEN WHEN YOU GET COMFY WITH LANDING ON EITHER FOOT TRY TO LAND ON BOTH FEET.

THIS TRICK IS A HARD TRICK TO UNDERSTAND IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS SPORT. IF YOU HAVE ANY FRIENDS YOU SKATE WITH ASK THEM TO HELP YOU IF THEY CAN DO ONE.

IT TAKES TIME TO LEARN THESE TRICKS. JUST BE PATIENT AND WITH PRACTICE IT WILL COME NATURAL TO YOU.


THERE WILL BE MORE TRICKS ADDED SOONER OR LATER.



TIPS ON MAINTAINING YOUR BOARD

1. DO NOT RIDE IN ANY WET CONDITIONS UNLESS YOU HAVE TO. THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR DECK TO DELAMINATE AND CAUSE CRACKS

2. IF YOU HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR BEARING FOR ANY TYPE OF REASON JUST PUT THE WHEEL AND BEARING ON THE EDGE OF THE AXLE. PULL ON SIDE OF THE WHELL UP AND KEEP THE OTHER SIDE FROM MOVING DOWN OR OUT OF THE AXLE.
SOUNDS CONFUSING RITE.

3. IF YOUR GRIPTAPE IS DIRTY ALL YOU NEED IS A BRUSH WITH PLASTIC BRISTLES AND SOME WATER BUT NOT TO MUCH. YOU FIGURE WHAT TO DO NEXT

4. WHEN DOING ANY TYPE OF TRICK TRY TO LAND ON YOUR BOLTS. THIS WILL HELP YOUR BOARD LAST LONGER AND PREVENT PRESSURE CRACKS. IF YOU SEE AND CRACKS THAT GO THROUGH MANY LAYERS DONT RIDE IT. IF YOU WANNA RIDE IT GO AHEAD. ITS NOT MY PROBLEM.
