Ollie
If you wanna do something more than ride around on your board, you better learn to ollie. Almost every trick involves some sort of an ollie.1| Place your front foot in the middle of the board and the balls of your back foot on the tail. Everybody has their own placement for their feet, you just have to find what works best for you.
2| Crouch down and get close to the board. Then throw your weight upwards and with your back foot you want to push down your tail onto the ground. Once the nose has come off the ground, slide your front foot up from the middle of your board toward the nose. The secret to this trick is timing - this takes practice, so be patient and you will improve. Tip: You are jumping off of your back wheels, before your tail actually hits the ground.
3| When your in the air, your front foot should level your board out.
4| To land, you pretty much just wanna keep your balance and absorb the impact.
180 Ollie
Learn to ollie first. The frontside 180 ollie is an ollie with a 180 spin. You have the same stance as the ollie but ya twist your torso backside (your leading hand should "reach" across your stomach). As you jump into the ollie, spin frontside. You should spin 180 degrees. When you land you'll be ridin switch-stance.Nollie
The nollie is just like an ollie but you pop the board on the leading edge, not the trailing. you do the same motions only the opposite way. roll along with moderate speed. put your front foot just in front of the front-truck bolts and your back foot in front of the back-truck bolts. When you're ready to nollie, lean a little bit forward over the front of the board. itz alittle weird at first, but youll get used to it. make sure you get a good pop and jump at the right time or youre goin for a ride. pop firmly with your front foot while lifting your back foot. when in the air use your back leg to level it out.Kickflip
The kickflip is an ollie variation: you jump into the air with your board, and your board flips before you land on it. Step one: Your back foot goes on the tail and your front foot goes in the middle of the board, but hangs a bit over the heel edge. Step two: Do an ollie, but instead of sliding your front foot upward and forward, you must also slide your foot to the heel side of the board, enough to start your board in a spin. This action requires you to actually kick your front foot off of your board. The board will spin (flip) in the air). Step three: Catch your board in mid-air once it has spun one complete revolution, and land.Heelflip
The heelflip is like the kickflip, except that the board spins in the opposite direction.You should probably learn the kickflip before trying to do a heelflip. Once you've mastered the kickflip, the heelflip should be a bit easier. To do the heelflip, your leading foot should be placed just behind the front bolts, not in the center like you would for an ollie. The combined motions of ollieing upwards by pushing down with your trailing foot and kicking forward and to the toe-side edge with your leading foot will make the board spin. As it spins around, catch it with your feet once the top is up again. Land.50-50
Learn to ollie onto the curb or obstacle, or at least as high, and be able to land your axles on its edge. Approach almost parallel to, but slightly at it. Ollie and try to level the board as you guide your back truck toward the edge. When your back truck makes contact with the edge, set your front truck down in the fifty-fifty position. Try to land on top of the curb or obstacle with just the two heelside wheels hanging over the edge. Remain totally on top of the board. Grind along until you start slowing or until disengagement is desired. Lift your front truck and pivot away from the edge. Push against the edge with your back foot as the board pivots off of it. Level the board as you descend for a smooth landing.Pop Shuvit
The pop shove-it involves an ollie and a push of foot that turns the board 180 degrees. It's a good way to switch your board around. First, roll at a fairly good speed and get into your ollie position. Ollie up, but instead of sliding your front foot to the nose as you would for a normal ollie keep it closer the center of the board. Push the board with your back foot to the heel side and guide the board around with your leading foot. As the leading end of the board swings around, catch it with your trailing foot, and land.Frontside Halfcab
You might want to learn the fakie ollie first. The foot placement for the fakie ollie is the same as the ollie but the tail is the leading tip of the board and it can stick in the ground if ya dont getta good pop. Other than that, the motions are essentially the same as for an ollie. Once you've learned to fakie ollie you can try the frontside half Cab by winding up your torso backside a little before hopping into the ollie. As you jump, unwind your torso and guide your board around with your body when in the air. Keep the board directly beneath you at all times. Once you've swung around and your board is pointing forward, extend your legs and land.Noseslide
A noseslide is when you slide forward on a rail with only your nose. To do a nose slide, roll up to a rail as you would a boardslide, but this time don't ollie over the rail, stop when the nose is over it. Then land on the rail with your nose and slide away!Kastarial
A Kastalarial (pronounced cast-ah-lair-e-ul) is a rad trick that originiated in Northern Virginia. It's mainly a bank trick, but it can be done on flat ground. You roll along with moderate speed, knees bent. Then you pop a big shove-it. Here's the important part: when you pop the shove-it, you rotate your body 180 degrees in the opposite way! So you pop a shove it, and do a frontside 180 with your body. Your body simply spins the opposide way the board is. This looks great on banks, where you end up riding down the bank the same way you rode up! You can also do a Kastalarial with a 180 kickflip or 180 heelflip. All you have to do is spin your body the opposite way the board is spinning!!Nollie Flip
Understandably, the nollie flip requires that you master the nollie first. The nollie flip is a nollie with a backfoot kickflip. You must pop into the air much faster than for a straight nollie, and the board must be leveled sooner. Having popped the nose off the ground with your front foot, use your back foot to level and flip the board as it rises. Once the board has flipped, catch it with your feet as you would a regular kickflip, and land.Manual
The ollie manual is a good trick to help develop your balance and ollie control. The idea is to ollie and land on your back wheels, riding a "wheelie" for a distance before setting the front wheels down. It can be done on the flat ground or over an object, but is most commonly done up onto an element, like a curb or block. It requires a fair sense of balance, and you should be comfortable ollieing. It might be good to get accustomed to manualling on flat ground before ollieing onto something, but a curb is a good element on which to learn the ollie manual. Ride at the curb at a normal ollie speed - you'll want to go fast enough to get up onto the curb and still have momentum for the manual. Pop into an ollie and get up over the curb. Instead of levelling the board in the air beneath you, keep your leading foot up and your weight centered over the back wheels. Land on the back wheels and try to balance on them in this position for a distance. You'll notice your body arched forward over your board as you ride the manual. This is how you keep your weight balanced on the back wheels. It is useful to try and manual a set distance, like to a line on the sidewalk or off the curb again. This will give you something specific to strive for until you've got the ollie manual so wired that you can just ride it for days. Then you can try variations like the ollie manual to kickflip off of an element, or even the ollie flip to manual. The options are endless.Pressure Flip
1. place back foot on the toe side of your tail, place front foot along the right side somewhere along the middle on the edge.2. apply pressure to both feet.
3. scoop tail back and then foward in a radid motion.
4. airwalk your way to how the board lands either backside(hardflip) or fronstside.
