K i havent seen ne eggs latley about skateboarding exept at the old rotteneggs and noobs dont wanna search thru eggs to see em so here sum of the basic tricks
Stances- if i get these wrong srry i havent skated for like a year damn snow in calgary
Regular- right foot on tail light foot in front
goofy- left foot on tail right foot in front
Flip tricks
Manuel- by adding more of your weight to the back half of your deck you start to do a kind of wheelie keep this goin between tricks to cvhain them together
Ollie- by snapping the tail back and sliding your front foot up(left for reg, right for goofy)slide your front foot up all the way too the top, at the same time keep your back foot(right for reg, left for goofy) in the same spot but just raise it up like ur jumping on one foot.
Nollie-Put your front foot on the nose of your board and your back foot in the middle of your board. Pop your front foot and slide your back foot to the tail of your board.Bring your knees up so you can be higher.Land on all wheels at once.If you are nollie-ing something, keep in mind you will have to nollie sooner so you can clear the thing without hitting your front trucks on it.
Frontside 180-You will need moderate speed for this trick. Speed aids the aspect of turning 180 degrees.Put your feet in ollie position, Pop an ollie and as your front foot slides up to your nose, turn your body to your heel(or frontside).It is essential to turn your body fast.Land straight
frontside 360-Get comfortable with frontside 180 As with all tricks, don’t try it off a 7 stair gap first. However it is extremely difficult to do 360s on flatground, so find a curb or small drop-off.As you approach the end of the curb, set up like you were going to do a frontside 180, but bring your front foot back more.Wind to the opposite direction that you want to spin, and then spin,You will probably only spin 250 degrees or so, but practice and it will come to you, but don’t worry, this trick isn’t too hard.
Backside 180-Put your feet in the ollie position except have your front foot a little closer to the tail.Pop an ollie and start rotating to your toe (or back) side.If you are just doing a quick 180 you have to rotate fast, but if you are 180-ing a gap, you’ll need to rotate more slowly so you don’t over rotate.Land straight,Make sure you land with all four wheels at once, not leaning on your nose or tail.
Kickflip- fistly u have to master a pretty high ollie. the kickflip is a clockwise rotatation of the deck. the do a kickflip place your back foot on the tail ofthe deck and your front foot just behind the fornt bolts but have your foot a little ways off of the deck on the heel edge. now snap down your tail and slide your front foot up as u would for an ollie but slide your foot up and off of the heel side edge of the deck. this should make it spin. if uve mastered the ollie then u should be able to get high enuf of air to land this one
Heelflip- Place your back foot on the same place you would an ollie or kcikflip. now take your front foot and place it a little bit behind the fornt bolts but with your toe hanging off of the edge farthest away frum you. now do a regular ollie but this timke slide your front foot up and off kicking outward making it spin it the opposite way of a kickflip.
Impossible-roll with moderate speed with your front foot very close to your back foot. Pop off with the back foot, and allow the board to go vertical. Now, with your front foot still close to the tail, "swing" the tail forward, causing the board to flip. Kick with the front foot so the tail goes forward and the nose swings down. There’s no real way to explain this with words, you’ll have to experiment. Once the board begins it’s flip, spread your legs (very deadly, but essential) and hope the board makes a full flip around. Catch the nose with your front foot, land and roll away.
hardflip-Place the ball of your back foot across the tail, a little bit more towards the heelside of your board is better. (Heelside is the side your heel is on...obviously). Place your front foot in the kickflip position and a little more parallel with the heelside of your board. Bend down and get ready. Give ’er shit. Pop as hard as you can on the tail, and begin to slide your front foot off the corner of the nose and try to keep it there, out of the way, while the board rotates. As soon as your front foot is almost off the board lift you back foot up and out of the way by moving out in the toeside (opposite of heelside, side that your toes is on) direction.As the board turns vertical in the air, bring your back foot around towards the front of the board to let the board move between your legs.As soon as it is possible, put your feet back on the board and even out Catch the board, land on all four wheels, and ride away.( sorry for longness)
Pop shuvit-I’m not sure if it helps to know 180s beforehand, but anyway this trick is not too hard so it doesn’t matter.It’ll help at first to do this trick riding backwards (fakie).Ollie, and at the same time, use your backfoot to shove (push hard and back) the board around 180.When your board has rotated 180 you put your feet down.Stomp the landing. Careful at first, you might slip out a couple times before you get it right.When I started learning this, I shoved the board, but my body turned a bit with it, then I would turn back and land. This is ok at first, but don’t worry you’ll get it right with practice.
Kick flip Shuvit-The kickflip shuv-it is a combination of the kickflip and the shuv-it. Its tough but not impossible. Put your front foot in the kickflip position and your back foot in the shuv-it position.Now kick with your back foot as if you were going to do a shuv-it. As the board starts to rotate, kick your front foot out.The board should be spinning like a shuv-it and a kickflip at the same time.Stay over the board and land it.
Half cab- Get comfortable with fakie ollies,approach an obstacle fakie. Right before you pop your tail, start winding up. Now when you pop your tail, the board will follow. Never follow your board, make it follow you,Rotate 180 degrees. Land straight and roll away.
BAckside 180 Flip-Go kind of fast for this trick.Put your front foot right behind the front truck bolts.tart a backside 180 when you ollie but flick your front foot out so the board starts to spin as it follows your 180.Halfway through the 180 you want to catch the board and then turn the remaining 90 degrees.Land and you should be rolling switch, fakie, or whatever.
Nollie flip-Put your feet in the nollie position except slide your back foot backwords so your heel hangs off sliightly. Pop a nollie and kick your back foot down and out. The board should spin.Watch the board flip, and catch it with your front foot.Land with your feet over the front trucks so you don’t break your deck.
Half-Cab kickflip- For this trick, you will need to be able to do kickflips and half-cabs comfortably.
Ride fakie, bend your knees, and start a fakie ollie.
Begin to turn backside,Kickflip about halfway through your backside turn, and catch your board as soon as you can Turn until you have rotated 180 degrees.land.
After you learn these you can start chainging them together with manuels ans stuff.
Basic grinds
50-50 grind-Find an obstactle you would like to grind, ie. curb, rail, ledge, table, whatever.
Roll up with moderate speed, the obstacle should be in front of you (frontside, duh!). If you are trying this out for the first time, go slow and try to stall (best on a curb).When you get close enough, ollie, but stay parallel, keyword there, parallel, Oh yeah, make sure you can ollie on this thing
Ok now hopefully both trucks are on the ledge
Make sure you have the front wheels locked on
just slide off at the end of the ledge, or pop off Roll away.
Nosegrind-Practice your nose manuals.Ok ride up like you were going to do a 50-50.Ollie, and point your nose down.The grinding is all about the balance.
It’s all about the balance,Ok what I mean by balance is weight distrobution. You have to be pushin’ this grind, it doesn’t happen by itself.Pop a nollie at the end, or when you want to come off.
Boardslide-Find an obstacle thats not to high first. Don’t try it on the biggest handrail you can find.Roll along at moderate speed.Ollie and then turn your body like a 180 except only 90 degrees onto the obstacle.Keep your shoulders parallel to the obstacle/rail/curb/log. It helps to focus on the middle of your board as you slide so you can keep balanced. When you want to get off the obstacle, simply unweight, and turn your lower body back to its original position.
Frontslide noseslide-Find a curb, bench, or something. Ride parallel to the ledge, about a board-length apart. Put your feet like your going to do a frontside 180 which means ollie position, but the front foot should be a little farther front, Ollie, turn 90 degrees, and lean on your nose. You need to have your weight on the nose of your board.Slide, and when you want to get off, just slide off the obstacle and land either fakie or regular.
frontside noseblunt slide-First off all, find an obstacle that slides. Waxing may be beneficial to this purpose.Second, get comfortable with frontside 180s, and regular ollies.Approach the block at a slight angle, then ollie to a 90-degree angle, sticking your nose into a noseblunt-slide position.
Keep most of (but not all) your body weight on the nose.Make sure that your body stays facing forward.
At the end of the block, give your nose a little nollie-come out forward or fakie.
