Answer 1

There are a few tricks that you can learn from here.

Some of these are:

shuvit
kickflip
heelflip
manual
nose manual
180
half cab


Ill try to help you with some of these


Shuvit:

For the shuvit, your gonna want to set your feet up in an ollie position.

Your back foot should be on the curvature of the tail, and your front just behind the bolts.


STEP ONE:

with your back foot, your gonna wanna scoop the board into a shuvit rotation

(scoop = pop down on the tail, but also slide it backwards creating a scooping position. You can practice this by just setting your board on the ground and scooping the tail with one foot. WHen you can easily get the board to do a shuvit, that means you obviously know how to scoop)

Step TWO:

After scooping your back foot (your front foot does nothing) You need to jump up to let the board rotate. The board will likely want to rotate ahead of you so you need to jump forward to stay above it

(by forward i mean the way your body is facing, not the way the nose of the board is facing)


STEP THREE:

Watch the board rotate underneath your feet and wait for it to do a full 180 degree rotation.

When it comes back around it will probably wanna keep spinning so you will need to stomp it down with your feet to keep it from over rotating.

then just bend your legs to absorb the shock, and roll away clean.


TROUBLESHOOTING (shuvit):

some times poeple try to spin the board all the way around with both feet. But they do not realize that by using their front foot, they are giving themself less control making a sloppier rotation and a more difficult landing.

Make sure you are doing the whole rotation with just your back foot!



KICKFLIP:

For a kickflip, you will want your feet setup like an ollie, except your front foot will be off the board slightly.

You should have your heel hanging off the edge of the board, and the ball of your foot (just before the toes) on the edge of the board.

STEP ONE:

pop the tail like you are about to ollie

STEP TWO:

Drag your front foot like your ollieing, except instead of dragging it straight, drag it at an angle so it will end up leaving the board of the edge off the nose.

STEP THREE:

once your foot leaves the board, it should create a flicking motion, causing the board to flip.

STEP FOUR:

Tuck your legs after the flick so the board has room to rotate.

STEP FIVE:

The board will probably wanna keep flipping, so your gonna have to stomp the board down when you see the griptape come around.

STEP SIX:

when the board hits the ground, bend your knees to absorb the shock and roll away.


TROUBLESHOOTING (kickflip):

some poeple can land the board with only one foot, this can be many different reasons, but the most popular reason is that the front foot isnt dragging off the nose, its just pressing down on the board causing your foot to be underneath the board and unable to stomp the griptape.

If you can land it with one foot, try landing it with only the other foot. And then, once you can land it with one or the other, try landing it with both.


GOOD LUCK with these tricks and HAPPY SKATEBOARDING!

Answer 2

pop sove it: Set your feet up like you would for an ollie, hit your tail, but instead of pushing straight down and jumping straight up, push down and behind you with the ball of your foot. Jump in the air above the board, and let the board come up to your feet. Bring your back foot over and onto the board so your feet are on it like they would be at the peak of an ollie.
kickflip:put your feet like an ollie then pop the board and slide your front foot forward and flick it with an angle after flicking the board with your front foot, get your feet out of the way so that the board can flip in the air and land.

Answer 3

for elementary tricks u could desire to ollie and shuv-it first. to ollie u get on your board, start up shifting, then u pop the board and slide your front foot as much as the nostril, then u enable gravity do the rest if u slide your foot up it is going to point it out and ollie greater,now merely stay point with the board and u could desire to land perfect on the bolts. make useful u slide your up please slide your foot up. if u do no longer u could have a puzzling time attempting to ollie greater and a painful, difficult, and fusturating time gaining expertise of kick/ heel flips
