  • 1) First it might be a good idea to learn how to walk on your hands so your wrists will be use to having all of your weight on one of them. Another good way to pratice is to do a handstand against a wall (brick,so you wont damage the wall) and shift your weight onto one hand. Once you have mastered that, you will be ready to go foward with the rest of the trick.
  • 2) Ride foward with a little speed, plant your hand on the ground
  • 3) At the same time you do that, you want to grab the board and start taking your feet off the board front foot first.
  • 4) Boost off with your back foot and pull your board back to where you want to stall at.
  • 5) At the same time, you want to bring your feet up to your board and stall there.
  • 6) Bring body and board down at the same time.
  • 7) Ride away with a little smirk on your face.

  • 1. Grow some balls and roll up.
  • 2. Pop like you're trying a front blunt but don't turn all the way so your back truck sticks into a salad grind.
  • 3. Grind till you can't grind no more.
  • 4. It's hard to pop out but try it anyway.
  • 5. Straighten your butt out and roll away, fool.
  • 6. Listen to Ms. Mooneyhan when she teaches your sorry class

    • 1) Start off with your feet placed correctly on your board.
    • 2) Cruise at a comfortable speed, its about the same as an ollie except you rotate your body inward.
    • 3) As you ollie up kick your back foot behind you and you board will rotate inward.
    • 4) Keep your shoulders and body straight, don't turn.
    • 5) As the board rises up jump up with the board, the harder you pop the higher your board will.
    • 6) Land Square on your board and ride away with a smile.

    How to Ollie

    How to Ollie




  • 1) Push at a comfortable speed, remember the faster you go the better the pop.
  • 2) Place your front foot near the middle of your board, about two inches under your bolts. Put your back foot on the tail.
  • 3) Squat, so you can spring yourself up.
  • 4) Kick your back foot down so you can pop as you jump up, your front foot should rub upward on your griptape.
  • 5) Make sure you tuck your knees to your chest, picking up your back foot as well to level the board at a good height. REMEMBER you are jumping forward.
  • 6) Then come down comfortably, both feet on the board. It will look better if both your feet are over the bolts as well as lessen the stress of impact
  • 7) Finally bend your legs as you touch down to give it that smooth style and roll away stocked.
  • Noseslide

    Noseslide




  • 1) Approach obstacle with decent speed. Make sure your comfortable before actually attempting it.
  • 2) pop an ollie and start to turn the board 90 degrees as if you were doing a 180.
  • 3) Watch for the nose to get over the ledge and just stand on it.
  • 4) Keep your weight mostly on your foot and just slide across the obstacle.
  • 5) When you reach end, start to turn your body then pop a little and your feet should fall into place.
  • 6) Land bolts, absorb the shock and roll away clean.
  • Nosegrind

    Nosegrind




  • 1). Approach the bench with medium to moderate speed, depending on the length of the bench.
  • 2). Ollie as you normally would shifting your front foot just past your front two bolts.
  • 3). Keep your back foot on the back of the board, with medium pressure, to keep the board straight so it won't turn side ways. And so you don't fall an look like a loser in front of your friends.
  • 4). Keeping your balance as you come to the end of the bench, hopefully your speed will carry you off of your nose, clearing your back trucks landing bolts on bolts feeling like the king of the world !!!!
