Trick Tips
Ollie – This is a basic street trick. Don’t get mad because this
trick does not happen first time. You put one foot on the tail and
the other in the middle of the board. Then you pop the back foot
down and swipe the front foot up. you also have to jump with the
board. This is the Ollie.
Pop Shove It – This is another basic street trick. In this trick
you put your back foot on the tail like an Ollie and your front foot
hanging a little bit. Then you pop back like an Ollie but the front
foot pushes forward and the board goes 180 degrees without you.
This is the Pop Shove It.
Kick Flip – This
is another basic
street trick but
don’t get mad
The Ollie
because it takes
a long time to learn. your back foot just like an Ollie and
your toe in the center of the board. Just like an Ollie
you pop back, the difference is that you flick your foot
back and the board will turn in a circular motion just like
a spiral. The best advice I ever heard was to land with
the board upside down and when you have that down
all you do is flick your foot harder. This is how to do the
Kick Flip.
The 180 Ollie
Heel Flip – The
Heel Flip is another basic trick but like all tricks it takes a long
time to learn so don’t get mad. This is a spiral motion but instead
of back like the Kick Flip it goes forward. In this trick you put
your back foot on the tail like an Ollie and your front foot heel
on the middle of the board. you pop on the back foot and push
forward on your front heel. This is the Heel Flip.
The Varial Kick Flip
180 Ollie – This is more of a harder trick. In this trick you put
your feet exactly like a Kick Flip. Instead of doing a Kick Flip you
pop an Ollie and turn 180 degrees with the board. This is the
180 Ollie.
Varial Kick Flip – This is a more advanced trick. you put your
front foot like a Kick Flip and your back toe on the tail of the
board. You flick up like a Kick Flip on your front foot and swipe
your back foot back. The board turns in a weird motion. It goes
180 degrees and in a spiral motion. This is the Varial Kick Flip. I
hope these tricks help you skateboard because you like it even
more when you get better at it.
