Skateboarding is a sport that combines skill, courage and creativity. For many, it is a way of life that offers endless opportunities for learning new things and expressing yourself. If you're just starting to skate or want to improve your skills, here's a list of the best skateboarding tricks you can try. Remember that practice makes perfect, and that the right equipment makes training safer and more fun.
1. Ollie
Ollie is one of the most important tricks and is the basis for many other tricks. Ollie allows you to jump in the air without touching your board with your hands. This trick teaches you control of your board and is the first step towards more complex tricks.
2. Kickflip
Once you've mastered the ollie, the kickflip is the next step. In this trick you have to make the board spin horizontally in the air. Kickflip takes a lot of practice and coordination, but learning it is very rewarding.
3. Heelflip
A heelflip is similar to a kickflip, but instead of kicking the board forward with your toes, you use your heel. This trick offers a nice variation to the kickflip and develops different skills.
4. Pop Shuvits
Pop shuvit is a spectacular trick where the board rotates 180 degrees horizontally while you stay in the air. This trick is highly visual and will impress the viewers.
5. Manual
Manual is a trick where you balance on a skateboard with one set of tires, either front or rear tires. This trick develops balance and board control, and you can combine it with many other tricks to create long combinations.
6. Nose Slide
Nose slide is a grinding trick where you slide the front of the board along the edge. This trick requires good board feel and balance, but it looks very stylish when you do it well.
7. 50-50 Grind
The 50-50 grind is a classic grinding trick where all tires slide on a rail or edge. This trick is a basic grind, mastering it opens the door to many other grinding tricks.
