Skateboard Tricks


There are many different skateboard tricks. The first one most, if not all skaters learn is a trick called the Ollie. An Ollie is when you hit the tail of your board, and then you let the board come up into the air. Then you move your front foot to the front of the board, from the middle of the board. Once you learn that, you can start to learn other tricks that build onto the Ollie.

After you learn the Ollie, you should learn to do a trick called the pop shove it. A pop shove it is the basis of a trick called the kick flip. After you can do those, you are ready to start the more advanced tricks. You can either start to try grinds, or do advanced flips and grabs. Here are some of the many tricks you can learn by skateboarding, and you can sometimes make up your own.
