| New Tricks 180 Front Slide As you move forward at medium speed, lean back slightly toeards your heals and press down gently on the nose. Twist your sholders to face forwards and, keep ypur weight on the front truck, use you back foot to push the board found. The back wheels will slide round while the frount ones remail still.Once you have turned 180 degrees around the nose, the board should come to a stop. 50-50 Approarch parallel to a kerbor low metal coping.Ollieonto it and land on the axles. The trucks will drag alog the edge. Before youlose to much speed, push down on the kicktale with your back foot and steer off the edge. Shove-It Keep your weight on the back foot and plac tour front foot over the nose. Press down with your front foot so the tale rises. As you jump in the air, shove hard against the tale with your back foot. It'll send the board swivelling round 180 degrees. Land back on the board, with the tale faceing foward. More Tricks Soon ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Basic Tricks of skateboarding The Ollie Step one: Place your front foot in the middle of the board and your back foot on the tip of the tail (or back). This is your preparatory foot placement, it will help you to go higher. Step two: With your back foot you want to "tap" your tail onto the ground. Do this by smashing your tail downward while jumping up. Once the tail has "popped" off the ground, slide your front foot up from the middle of your board toward the nose (or front). The secret to this trick is timing your "jump" with your "tap," and your "tap" with your "foot slide" - this takes practice, so be patient and you will improve. Tip: You are jumping off of your back wheels, before your tail actually hits the ground. Step three: Leveling off. Once airborne, the "foot slide" levels your board out. The "foot slide" is the process of scraping your foot (or more likely, your shoe) upward and forward across the grip tape toward the nose. You do this just after the tail tap and jump. Fact: The tap and the foot slide combined are the ollie's essence, your jump determines its height. Step four: Land. Tip: A good thing to remember with any trick is what I call the "box." Imagine yourself in an invisible box the size of your skateboard. Always keep your body centered above your board and in this box. I find it helps you to land tricks because a common mistake is to lean too far forward or backward. Thank you and have a nice day, bunghole. The Kick Flip Step one: Your back foot goes on the tail and your front foot goes in the middle of the board, but hangs a bit over the heel edge. Step two: Do an ollie, but rather than only sliding your front foot upward and forward, you must also slide your foot (again, probably your shoe) to the heel side enough to start your board in a spin. This action requires you to actually kick your front foot off of your board. The spinning board hovers for a second between your sprawling, supple legs. Step three: "Catch" your board in mid-air once it has spun completely around, and land. The Heel Flip The heelflip entails ollieing and kicking your leading foot towards the toe-side edge of the nose, rather than towards the heelside edge as you would for an ollie flip. Your leading foot should be placed just behind the front bolts, not in the center of the board as for an ollie. The combined motions of ollieing upwards by pushing down with your trailing foot and kicking forward and to the toe-side edge with your leading foot will make the board spin. As it spins around, "catch" it with your feet once the topside is up again. Land and rock on. The 360 Flip To do a 360 flip, you should position your front foot like you would for a kickflip, with your toe slid back toward the heel-edge of the board. Your rear foot should be positioned with your toe on the opposite corner of the board, namely the toe-edge of the tail. Rolling at a moderate to slow speed, pop an ollie, but as you kick your front foot for the "flip," swing your back foot underneath and behind you 360-shove-it-style. This will rotate the board around as it spins. The whole thing should take about the same amount of time a kickflip does, so you won't have to "hang" in the air any longer. When the nose comes back around and the griptape side shows upward, stick your feet back on and land it. |
