Skating is the best sport ever in the world, all who agree say I. Well whatever. here are some tricks that I can give you some tips on and later I will have vids and pics so come back soon, they are bound to be good. I have one where I smash my head on a leg I tried to do a UFO on, its great. Anyways here are the tricks.

Tail Grab- Jump (if prefered off of a ledge or something for bigger air) and grab the back end of your skates. Keep both skates together because I know for some people it is hard to keep them together when you wanna jump high. This is one of the 3 air tricks that I would start out doing.

180,360,540 and so on- Jump into the air (if you wanna do a 360 or higher jump of something with hight) and then do your trick by twisting your body with all your might cause that helps for the big ones and be sure that you can land it cause... it hurts. You could also add a grab if you wanna.

Mute grab- This is by far the easiest grab, you just jump and grab the middle of your skates under the bottom, make sure that you get some sweet air because it looks better that way. anyways, I would start with this and then get into more complex stuff.

Nose Grab- this is similar to the Tail Grab, its basically the same thing except you grab the front of your skates. Stick with Nose, Tail, and Mutes before you get into Lu Kangs and flips and crap cause they are damn hard. I can't do flips yet on my skates and I can do Lu Kangs but they are pretty hard.

Grinds- ok, here is the thing, when you are grinding you should always lean forward depending on the grind but not too much, just a tad bit foreward and you should balance out pretty well. I don't mean forward as in towards the object I mean forward as in ahead of you. Allright, and I will tell you if a grind reqiurs backwards leaning. Good luck

Frontside Grind- This is the most basic grind that you will ever do, its really easy. All you do is jump onto the object, and make sure your middle bearings (located in the the middle of any aggressive skates) and slide as long as you can, then jump off, cuz if your forced of, its gonna hurt, and when you are grinding down something (take my advice on this I bruzed myself all over) lean the hell foreward and this time I mean toward the object. K??

Backside Grind- A backside grind is basically a fronside grind just turn 180 degrees, ya see u gotta grind backwords in front side position. I cant really explain it any better, but I'll post some vid s of me doing it K.

Soul Grind- This can be done two ways, it depends on which way you prefer. You take your skate when you jump on and plant the back skate on your soul bearings (located at the side of your skates) and then the front foot is in frontside position. Its easy as that. I think.

Royal- start doing this trick by doing a frontside and then lean your SKATES back, and lean foreward.

Here are some more air tricks for before you start doing the more complex grinds

Lu Kang- I love this trick, here is what ya do. You take one foot up at a time but really fast, the first foot should be bent in mute position and the other should kick up and do like a front kick, and it looks really cool. I am gonna put a pic or vid on here of me doing it cuz its really fun, and it looks awsome.

Judo- This is a more complex version of the Lu Kang. You gotta kick up with one foot like you do with a Lu Kang but with the other foot you put under the kicked up foot and grab it. This trick I need lots of air to do, Its really hard. Its hard to explain so i'll post a pic or something.
