But hopefully with the help from this list of skateboarding tricks you won’t have to go through all the pain and frustration of trying to learn skateboarding tricks on your own!

Oh, and one last thing, I can not be held responsible for any injury!

The most important skateboarding trick is the ollie. 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. 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. Now you know how to do an ollie. But just like any other trick the ollie might take a few tries to get it.

A pop shove-it is when your board does a 180 spin in the air. For the pop shove-it, start by doing an 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 board with your feet and land! That is all there is to the pop shove-it!

To kick flip you put your back foot on tail and your front foot behind the front truck bolts (kind of like you are going to ollie). But have your front foot at an angle (like a 45 degree angle). As you ollie move your front foot to the where the board starts to rise, then flick your foot to the side. Then bring your foot back and after the board has went all the way around catch the board with your feet.

The heel flip is some what like the kick flip, just a little different. To do a heel flip put your back foot on the tail so only three fourths of your foot is actually on your board. Put your front foot by the truck bolts, with your toes hanging off the side of the board. Then slide your front foot up to the nose of your board towards so your heel hits the corner, so your board flips the opposite way of a kick flip. Then you catch the board with your feet.

To finger flip you have your back foot on the tail and your front foot in the middle or just behind the middle of your board. First you ollie then grab the nose of your board, then flip the board with your hand. Make sure you move your feet out of the way. Then hope fully land back on the board.
