Ollie

Have your left feet on the tail and your right feet in the middle of the bolts. When you are ready to do the trick, bend your knees and slam the tail on the ground. As you go up, scoot the right leg to the nose so it levels out in the air. Land with your legs a little bend so you absorb the impact.

Kick Flip

Have your left feet on the tail and your right feet near the bottom. When you are ready to do the trick, bend your knees and slam the tail on the ground. Then flick the very right side of the nose. As it flips keep your feet above the board. When you start to see the grip tape, press down with both feet on the board. Make sure your knees are a little bent so you absorb the impact.

Heel Flip

Have your left feet on the tail and your right toes sticking out at the top. When you are ready to do the trick, bend your knees and slam the tail on the ground. Then flick the very left side of the nose. As it flips keep your feet above the board. When you start to see the grip tape, press down with both feet on the board. Make sure your knees are a little bent so you absorb the impact.

Back Side 180

Have your left feet on the tail and and your right feet at the bottom of the board. When you are ready to do the trick, bend your knees and slam the tail on the ground. Then scoop with the left foot and keep your feet above the board. As the board turns, turn your shoulders with it. When it turns 180 degrees, press down with both feet on the board. Make sure your knees are a little bent so you absorb the impact. Do the opposite in the first sentence for Front Side 180
