How to Skateboard

Skateboarding is getting into the hit list of the popular games being played by sports enthusiasts today. The game is considered as one of the extreme sports and has competitions for advanced users worldwide. If you are curious what the tricks are, here is a list of skateboard tricks.

Not all of the tricks are easy and definitely require patience and practice. Knowing them would help one person to understand why a lot of people are getting addictive to this game- it is simply amazing.

There is a long list of skateboard tricks but in here we shall mention only 8 that include both basic and advance tricks. The most basic technique that skateboard enthusiasts would have to learn is the Ollie. Before one can many of the other techniques, skilled execution of the Ollie is required.

The second is the pop shove it. This includes a 180 flip and requires a mastery of the Ollie before one can do it. The third on the list of skateboard tricks is an old-school trick called the boneless.

This involves touching the tip of the skateboard as you go and letting go off you front foot then switch deck orientations as you go in the air- pushing your back foot to the ground so that it will be positioned in front as you land.

The fourth trick is the kick flip- perhaps, the hardest on the list of skateboard tricks. This is done by kicking the deck to send it flipping a full turn while you are in the air. The fifth is the heel click done by positioning ¾ of your back foot unto the deck and using the heel to flip the deck in opposite to the kick flip.

The sixth on the list of skateboard tricks is the heel flip in which you flip the deck using your one hand while in the air. The seventh is a variation of the Ollie called the impossible.

This is done by doing the Ollie but changing the basic and substituting it with a 360 turn. There is also the board slide. Many others are variations of flips, turns and combos.
