Ollie 1)stand on the board with your back foot on the tail and your front foot in the middle of the deck. 2)crouch down til your hands are almost touching the ground 3)slam down on the tail while sliding the blade of your front foot up torwards the tail. 4)jump up off your back foot and tuck both knees into your chest. 5)extend your legs slightly to prepare for the shock of the landing. 6)land and absorb the force in your legs. 7)ride off. *try to do steps 3 and 4 at almost the same time. *learn this while moving because it sucks if you learn it still then have to learn it all over again moving. *when you land keep your body centered over the board that way it doesn't fly out from under neath you and make you look [dumb]. *practice it alot. peace.
Frontside 180 First make sure you have ollies high and clean 1)Put your feet on your board like you would an ollie 2)wind your body round frontside(right/regular) 3)pop the board just as you wind, then when you are in the air unwind your body (this should make your board land in a 180) 4)Land the shock and roll 5)Bust it down a big gap
Backside 180 All you have to do is the same as the frontside just turn the opposite way round
Kickflip In order to learn the kickflip, it is necessary that you learn the ollie. Now that you have learned it, get on your board in an ollie stance. Alter that stance a little: take your front foot and put it right before the front truck bolts. Now turn it 45 degrees. The ball of your back foot should be in the middle of your tail. Now to actually do the trick. First you gotta pop down your tail real hard, just like an ollie, so you begin to get off the ground. When you're first learning, you'll have to jump very high. As you rise, you should slide your foot the way you do for an ollie, but you want to slide off the heel edge of your board also, in order to set your board spinning. It must be done with a rather skillful flick of the ankle. Now you had better have your feet outta the way. However you've gotta do it, do it. Most have their front foot forward like a karate kick. Wait for the board to spin around, and stay well above it. When it comes around bring your feet back in and catch it. The best place for your feet to catch the board is right on top of all the bolts. You want to "catch" or "grab" it in the air with your feet, and then bend your knees a little because the ground is coming. When your board hits the ground (you should be on it at this point), you need to use your legs like shocks in a car, and absorb the landing.
Heelflip Keep your back toe on the center of the tail. Your front foot should be at a little bit more than a 45 degree angle. It should be in the center of the board with your toe hanging over the toe edge. Hit the tail. As you do this, slide your front foot forward at an angle and just before it hits the nose, bend your foot/angle it and flip the board over the toe edge with the toe of your foot. Jump. Wait for the board to rotate. When it comes around, bring your knees up and stop it with your feet. Land carefully, and absorb the impact.
Pop-Shove-it Before you attempt this trick, as for most tricks, you ought to know the ollie first. The first thing you need to do is give it a "pop" (Slam down on the tail.) Now "shove-it" around with your front foot so that the board turns a 180, but you stay in the same place. You ought to learn it standing in place first, and then learn it fakie. After that, you can attempt it moving forward. You can place your feet in different positions for this trick. It all depends on you. Some put their feet sort of the way they would for a kickflip. Others put one foot about on the middle facing straight forward and the other facing straight forward on the tail. Remember that you're trying to prevent your board from spinning. The top of the board should stay level with the ground. It's all about how you kick your feet. Experiment. Remember when you do it to jump forward. Because if you just spin out the board and stay in the same place, your board will just fly out in front of you (surprisingly common).
Nollie In order to do the nollie you must become quite familiar with the switch-stance ollie. You should begin riding normal (ex. If you're regular-footed, ride that way.) As you are moving, set up your feet for a switch ollie off the nose. Pop the nose, like a regular ollie, making sure not to let the board slip out to either side. Refer to the trick tip for doing an ollie to get the nollie down.
