Let’s get to some tricks that will help you to become a great skateboarder. I’ll start with the order of basic skateboard tricks and move on to more advanced stuff further down the list.īe aware that this post is inspirational, the order makes a bit of sense but don’t follow it to the exact rule. 1 Start out Stationary or While Moving?.I already did a similar post, check out my basic beginner trick guide to become a better skateboarder before attempting your first ollie.
FIRST EVER OLLIE OOP MANUALS
It seems pretty basic but manuals are great to get to know your board and it’s just perfect to combine with other tricks.
FIRST EVER OLLIE OOP MANUAL
I suggest you grab an old deck because the manual is razor tail nightmare. You will scrape your tail a lot and it will wear down your board fast. The most important thing here is balance and not placing your back foot at the end of your tail. This is a really easy trick but will make you comfortable shoving your board around. Once you got this you can move on to big spins and whatnot. If you feel comfortable riding fakie, you won’t have much trouble landing this one.
There’s a bit of a commitment issue here, it’s quite easy to bail and not land but it’s really easy. Once you got the fakie shuvit down, move on to the regular shuvit. I may be completely biased here, but I think the shuvit is harder to learn than the fakie variant. The shuvit requires commitment but is probably easier than an olie, so first things first.
It’s better to learn an ollie first because it makes it easier to move on to a pop-shuvit. The basic shuvit doesn’t require the tail to hit the ground. From there you can do frontside, backside, 369-shuvits, big spins, etc. Invented by Alan ‘ollie’ Gelfand in 1976 and one of the most basic tricks that lead to a whole lot of new tricks. It isn’t easy and feels really awkward when you’re a beginner.
You’ll get it though, it takes time and dedication and at some time you just pop that board and land. Once you got this down, you can start to ollie curbs while you’re cruising. Now you both got the basic shuvits and the ollie down, it’s time to combine them.
A pop-shuvit requires the tail to hit the ground and is a bit more aggressive compared to a regular shuvit. The trick is often performed at speed and technical skateboarders such as Daewon Song are renowned for performing tricks such as the kickflip both in and out of the trick, whilst also simultaneously doing so up onto, over and off ledges, blocks, benches and other street obstacles.Seriously though, if you have a hard time and get frustrated it’s usually a good idea to do some other stuff first and go back at it later.
FIRST EVER OLLIE OOP PROFESSIONAL
Grinds and slides on street environments were brought to mainstream skateboarding by professional skateboarders Natas Kaupas and Mark Gonzales.Ī manual is a balancing trick where a skateboarder balances on either the front two or rear two wheels, without the other two wheels or any other part of the skateboard touching the ground for the entire duration of the trick. Grinding and sliding skateboards started with sliding the board on parking blocks and curbs, then extended to using the coping on swimming pools, then stairway handrails, and has now been expanded to include almost every possible type of edge. When it is primarily the board which is contacting the edge, it is called a slide when it is the truck, it is a grind. Slides and grinds involve getting the board up on some type of ledge, rail, or coping and sliding or grinding along the board or trucks, respectively.
