Here are the tricks...
Put your front foot just
behind the screws and your back foot on the back(your
back foot should be on the back but not too much, you
should be able to see a little bit of the tail behind
your foot). All your weight should be on your toes and
your toes should be in the middle of the board. Bend your
knees so you can touch the ground. Slam the tail down(I
mean it!!) When you salm it the board
should almost be vertical. As soon as you slam it you
should jump upwards (and forwards a little). Then slide
your front foot up the grip tape to level it out(you
should use the part of your shoe where your four smaller
toes are located, to make it easier try turning your
front foot a little away from you). Depending how high
you jumped the board will level off and hit your back
foot. Bend your knees when you land. Hint: When you bent
your knees to slam the tail down, you should be in that
same pose when your at the peak of your ollie, your knees
should be bent a lot.
Start to ollie. When
your just coming of of the ground, swing your two legs in
opposite directions(ex. backt leg swing back and font leg
swing forward) The board should spin around 180 degrees
and you should catch it with your feet .
A shuvIt is like a
Varial but it is done on the ground. You should tilt the
nose up, and again swing your legs in opposite
directions. You should catch it when its done
spinning.
Same as the Ollie180, but
instead of rotating 180 degrees you rotate 360. You need
a really high ollie to do this trick. Or you can do it
off curbs and stuff.
Put your arm across you
chest and begin to ollie. Then when your foot is
beginning to slide up rotate your arm towards you back.
Then twist your whole upper body, your feet and the board
will follow. Try an ollie90(only rotating 90 degrees) it
will help you build up to an ollie180
A kickflip is a hard
trick To learn, and is the trick you need to learn before you go big,but definetly not impossible.
Foot placement:
front, on the edge of the board(heelside) 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.
Ollie. Then land on your
back wheels and ride it out for a while. Hint: don't
slide your foot up to far to leave the deck at an angle,
this will make landing easier.
Approach the curb at a
45(or slighter). Then ollie and put your trucks on the
curb and ride it out, or ollie off the curb. If your
riding parallel to the curb ollie and push your trucks
down and on to the edge of the curb.
The noseslide is the
opposite of the Tailslide. You ollie 90 degrees and land
on your nose.
Ride parallel to the
curb. Ollie 270 degrees and land on the middle of your
board on the edge of the curb.
Ollie and twist 90
degrees landing your tail on the curb. To get off just
twist.
Ride parallel to the
curb. Ollie 90 degrees and land on the curb on the
middle of your board and slide down until the end. If
you want to get off push your tail down and twist
off.
When you ride, make the tail side that you use most be backwards. Also, when you ride but your foot at the front of the board istead of the front. Then just get on your board and ride backwards,
and do an olllie.
To do a nollie, do the same thing as on a fakie, but do it switch stance. There is a nollie.
To do a half cap, go in fakie stance, then do a backside ollie and ride it out.
footing:
put your feet in normal position, with the exception of your back foot. Put your back foot's toes off the board. Jump and twist your body into a 180 in the opposite direction.
Go into fakie stance and do a 180.
