How to do Skateboarding Tricks

How to ollie
The ollie is the most important skateboarding trick. In order to do a kick flip, heel flip, pop shove it, and pretty much every other skateboarding trick involves the ollie. To ollie put your front foot in the middle of your board and your back foot on the tail, and bind your knees. Then to ollie you snap the tail of your board down, then jump, and after you jump move your front foot up to the truck bolts at the front of your board to even out. To ollie high it just takes practice. The more you practice the better you will get. And thats how you do a ollie. But just like any other trick the ollie might take a few tries to get.
How to ollie off kickers
If you want to learn how to ollie off kickers (ramps) there is just a few steps to follow. If you have your own kicker you might want to make it go into grass (for safety reasons). First get giong at a pretty good speed (so you can make it up and over the ramp). Get in the ollie position. Then when the nose of your board is almost at the top of the ramp, ollie (it is all about timing). It will probably take a few tries.
How to pop shove-it
A pop shove-it is when your board does a 180 spin in the air. To pop shove-it you ollie, then you move your back foot in backward in a sweeping motion and, move your front foot forward just a little bit, then after the board does a 180 you catch the baord with your feet and land! And thats how you do the pop shove-it!
How to Boardslide
A boardslide is a type of grind. Its is also very easy. To do a boardslide, come up to what ever you are going to try it on with a slight angle, and do a 90 degree ollie. Make sure what ever you are grinding is in the middle of your board. And also make sure you have even wieght on both of your feet. You also want to keep your balance. Then once you get to the end of what ever you are grinding just twist your body 90 degrees and land.
How To Boneless
The boneless is an old school skateboarding trick, but its still a cool trick( not that old school tricks aren't cool). To boneless you start just riding your board( you might want to start out going slow) grab right behind the front wheels. Then you take your front foot off the board, and quickly push off the ground with it. Then when your in the air put your foot back on the board and land! This trick well probably take a couple tries to get it right.
