    1.)Ollie: To Ollie place your front foot in the middle of the board. Put your back foot on the tail of your skateboard. Pop with your back foot and slide your front foot to the nose of your board.Maintain your balance. *NOTE*: If you can't Ollie you can't do dick-all.

    2.)Ollieng Down Stairs: 1:Start with a small set of stairs. 2:Find out your speed. *NOTE*: Faster speeds for longer stairs. 3:Ollie right at the end of the stairs. 4:Keep your weight centered and your board straight to avoid falling. 5:Spot your landing. 6:Begin extending your legs to absorb impact. 7:Let the board touch the ground and keep your weight centered. 8:Absorb the shock. 9:Ride it out and then find some bigger sets of stairs.

    3.)Heelflip: 1:learn to Ollie. 2:Place back foot on the tail and your front foot just below the screws, but hanging a bit ove the toe side. 3:Ollie and hit down and out to the toe side which should cause your board to "flip". 4:Once the board has been flipped over catch it with your feet and bend your knees to absorb the shock and land.

    4.)B/S Heelflip: 1:Learn to Heelflip. 2:To do this trick start riding normal and then turn your body to "backside". Exacute the heelflip and follow the same steps for the landing.

    5.)Kickflip: 1:Learn to Ollie. 2:Place your back foot on the tail and your front foot just below the screws, but hanging a bit over the heel side. 3:Ollie and slide your front foot diagonally to make the board flip. After you kick out bring that same foot up again so it's a quick motion. 4:Once the board has flipped over catch the board in your feet. Bend your knees and land.

    6.)B/S Kickflip: 1:Learn to Kickflip. 2:To do this trick start riding normal and then turn your body to "backside". 3:Exacute a Kickflip and land. 4:Follow the same steps for the landing.

    7.)50-50 Grind: 1:Learn to Ollie. 2:Start off with a little curb or rail then work your way up to the big leagues. 3:Approach the rail and ollie on to it. Make sure both trucks are "grinding". 4:To get off the rail you can ollie off or just wait till your off.

    8.)5-0 Grind: 1:Learn to Ollie. 2:Learn to Manual. 3:Learn to 50-50 to get comfortable with grinding. 4:Ollie up on a rail and manual to get just your back truck on the rail. 5:Just ride off the rail and land it.

    9.)Nose Grind: 1:Learn to Ollie. 2:Learn to Nose Manual. 3:Approach your obstacle and when in the air go for a Nose Manual and let your front truck touch the rail and keep your balance. 4:Just finish grinding and land.

    10.)The Manual: 1:Learn to Ollie.*NOTE*:Just try balancing on your back wheels riding then start Ollieing on to stuff. 2:To exacute The Manual, Ollie and lean backwards and let your wheels touch and keep balancing. The longer you balance the better The Manual. 4:To land just bring your front truck down and you got it made.

    11.)Nose Manual: Learn to Ollie. Just try balancing on your front wheels riding on the ground. To exacute this trick you should Ollie and lean forward and let your front wheel touch and keep balancing. The longer you balance the better the Manual. 4:To land just bring down your back truck.

    12.)180 Ollie: 1:Learn to Ollie. 2:Start riding and get your body slightly twisted to whatever side you want to spin. 3:Pop an Ollie and twist until you get to the "backside" position. *NOTE*:Use your front foot as your "guide foot" to make the board turn with you.

    13.)Pop Shuv-it: 1:Skate along at a speed you are comfortable with. 2:Place one foot on the tail the other in the center of the board. 3:Pop an Ollie and shove the board around 180* with your back foot to your heelside. 5:Guide the board around with your front foot. Catch the board with both your feet and land.

    14.)Crooked Grind: 1:Approach (with speed) the surface you are going to grind parallel. 2:Ollie up to the ledge and get your front truck over the edge and apply pressure to the nose of the board. 3:When you are grinding you are going to tilt off to the side. Try not to tilt off to the side alot. If you tilt to far out you will have to revert out. 4:Balance while grinding. 5:Let the grind take you off the ledge by just sliding out.*NOTE*:For more style Nollie out.

    15.)Nose Slide: 1:Approach a curb at a 45* angle. *NOTE*:If you wax the curb you will slide easier. 2:When you get close enough to the ledge come in and put your nose on the edge and with your back foot make the tail shoot out forward. *NOTE*:If the curb/ledge is low enough you don't have to Ollie. 3:Know you should be sliding. Maintain your balance and just ride out.

    16.)Tail Slide: 1:Approach the curb at a 45* angle. 2:Ollie and turn 90* and let your tail slide. 3:Maintain your balance and ride out.

    17.)Dark Bluntslide: 1. Go at a rail at an angle at a comfortable speed 2. Do half a kickflip higher then the rail. It's like you're going to do a kickflip over the rail, only it's different.3. Land on it Blunt style with front foot's toes in a heelflip position and back foot on the tail. For those beginner skaters who don't know tricks worth a piece o' crap except for an Ollie, a Blunt Slide is when you ollie onto and over the rail and slide your tail with the front trucks passing the rail. The difference is that the board is upside down in my trick.4. Keep sliding until you feel like getting off. If you do want to get off or you're about to hit the end, do half a heelflip out going 90 degrees and land. Now try again with a Dark Noseblunt,Dark Lipslide, Dark Slide, Dark Nose Slide,DarkTail Slide, or even better, do it like a 50 50 only the board's upside down. I Just do it and feel good that you did something no one has ever done before.

    18.)360 Flip: 1.Watch Daewon Song skate. 2.Put his 360 Flips in slow motion and study them a few times 3.Put your back foot in a position which is comfortable, and you feel like you can make the board spin the nessacary 360 degrees. Possibly raising your heel for maxiumum "pop" and a speedy spin. 4.Put you front foot in a comfortable position that will give you just the right amount of spin, not too much, not to little. This takes a while to get used to. 5.Slam your tail down hard, giving it pop and spin and extend your front leg "kickfliping it". 6. You should be in a kung fu position in mid air, finally let it spin the 360 flip catch it if you can (this will take a while) 7. land over the bolts, ride away smoothly.

    19.)Hardflip: 1:Push. 2:Put your back foot on the tail 3:Put your front foot on the middle of the board at a 45 degree angle a little more to your heelside edge. 4:Snap the tail and jump raising your front foot with the board. 5:When the board is at a 90 degree angle flick your foot like a kickflip. 6:By now your back foot should be out of the way so let the board come down all you should see is the griptape. 7:When the board is the right way up land on the hardware. 8:Ride away.

    20.)Nose Bluntslide: 1. You have to push a noseblunt slide, so get some speed. This trick seems easier if you ride parallel to the curb, then at the last minute turn in a bit. 2. Ollie up and imagine you’re going to noseslide on the vertical side of the curb.3. It’s important to get your nose locked in on the curb, this way you won’t slide out.4. You’re going to put a lot of pressure on your front foot while using your back foot to keep the board tilted.5. Now stay on top and above your board.6. The dismount is tricky sometimes. Push down your nose while jumping, swinging your back foot to straighten out.7. Turn your body back to your normal stance.8. If you stay above your board, the landing is easy to roll away from.

    21.)Caveman Crooked Grinds: 1. Back in the Paleozoic skateboarding era, before skateboarders utilized the ollie to it’s fullest extent, there existed a technique called the "caveman."2. The caveman basically called for jumping onto a handrail and performing a 50-50 or a boardslide.3. During the handrail slaughter of the late 90s, this technique was quickly forgotten.4. Recently, there has been a renaissance of this ancient technique.5. Skaters have taken the caveman to new levels.6. These days, it’s not uncommon to see caveman blunt-slides or even a sick caveman crooked grind.7. The possibilities are endless.8. Caveman backside lipslide?9. Boneless fingerflip caveman boardslide?10. Frontside 270 boneless to caveman backside lipslide? Word?

    22.)Frontside Feeble Grind: 1. Get a hat. To do this trick Ed Templeton-style, get a red or orange mesh trucker hat. If you want to do it Big Willy-style, get yourself a crusher. Then bring yourself and some frontside boardslide skills to the rail.2. Use moderate speed and roll up right next to the obstacle. 3. Ollie up and concentrate on getting your back truck on the bar, but turn a little bit like a frontside boardslide.4. Here's the tricky part: You want to keep most of your weight on your back truck while applying a little bit of pressure from your front foot to get locked in Get the feel for the feeble, and lock it in. 5. Lock and grind, baby! Lock and grind.6. The end is near! Quick, lift off your back truck and prepare for landing.7. Absorb the massive impact.8. Ride it out.9. Ahhhh yeah! Get another hat and learn another trick.

    23.)The Nollie: 1. In order to learn this trick, you must feel confident with your ollies, because the nollie requires exactly the same concepts. 2. To begin, place your front foot comfortably on the nose and your back foot across the middle of the board. 3. Push down on the nose to get the pop: the harder you push, the higher you go. Now your back foot helps the board come off the ground by sliding up the board. What helped me was learning switch ollies while I was learning nollies. 4. When you feel like you've reached maximum flight, your board should have leveled out flat. 5. Now wait until you hit the ground, and like everybody says, roll away smoothly. Note: If you're trying this trick over an object, you must start to nollie a little bit sooner so the nose can clear it.

    24.)Nollie Flip: 1. To set up for a nollie flip, stand on your board the same way you would for a nollie, except slide your back foot so that your heel hangs off slightly. 2. Pop a nollie, and simultaneously kick your back foot down and out. This will make your board flip. 3. Watch your board flip, and catch it with your front foot. 4. Land with your feet over your trucks, and roll away smooth. Note: Before you do nollie flips, you need to learn nollies. To nollie, push down on the nose of your board with your front foot, and slide your back foot in an upward motion. It's like doing a backward ollie. Once you've got nollie flips mastered, try them down stairs, but make sure you pop your nose early.

    25.)The Big Spin: 1. Push, push, push. Always push first. 2. Place the ball of your back foot on the tail as if you're going to do a pop shove-it., and locate your front foot in the center of the deck, toes pointing only slightly toward the nose. 3. You're simply going to do a backside 180 and 360 shove-it simultaneously. So, begin your backside 180 ollie by smacking the tail, but instead of letting the natural 180 action occur, kick vigorously back with your back foot. Send the board spinning, but be careful not to make the common mistake of doing a 360 pressure flip instead of a shove-it; the best way to insure no flip in the big spin is to smack the tail dead-center. 4. You will now be backside 180ing as the board is 360 shove-iting under you (have I stated that enough yet?). Here's where your front foot plays a vital role: the foot should hover right above the spinning board to insure that it doesn't flip and that you stop it the second it's made a full rotation. 5. After your board has gone 360 and you 180, it's time to land. Your feet should be in the common post-backside position - each foot resting over a truck - and your weight should be centered.

    26.)Handrail Boardslides: 1. If you’re going to step to handrails, this is the trick to start with. Start with small rails and work your way up. 2. Make sure you have some moderate speed—don’t go slow. Slow speed can result in getting racked. 3. Ollie up, and make sure you get your front truck over the rail—don’t bonk. 4. At this point you’d better be sliding and committed—bailing on rails is not good. 5. You actually keep your weight forward a little bit while sliding down rails. 6. Get ready to pop off. 7. Turn your body/board back and extend your legs. 8. Absorb it and stay centered to ride it out. 9. Do this trick a lot and get comfortable with it. Take it up to bigger rails.

    27.) Nollie 180 Heelflips On Banks 1. Riding up the bank in nollie position can be tricky. Your foot should be on the nose, but your weight should be back just a bit to successfully roll onto the bank. 2. Alright, you made it. Now you’re going to get your crouch position going. 3. Timing on banks is important—you want to start popping right before you stop rolling up the transition. 4. Start turning your body and pop that nollie heelflip. 5. Suck up your legs so it flips freely. 6. Catch it and keep turning so you land straight. 7. Land and stay centered. 8. Get ready to roll to the flat.

      2.)Bob Burnquist: Robert Dean Silva Burnquist (a.k.a. Bob Burnquist) Born? Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Goofy or regular foot I can't remember. =) Skateboard set up specs: Board, Wheels, Trucks, Bearings The Firm Board, Ricta Wheels, Fury Trucks, Reflex bearings. Where are you from? I was born in Rio and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Where do you live? I currently reside in Vista, CA Sponsors? Adding to the board setup: Hurley International, Oakley eyewear, CCS mail-order, Pro-Tec helmets. How long have you been skating? For about 12 and a half years now. Favorite trick? Backside ollies Favorite terrain? The vert is my favorite because of the feeling. Street is awesome but it takes a bigger toll on the body. Favorite place to skate? It would have to be Marseille France. Who do you like to session with? Whoever brings positive energy into the session. Rune Glifberg brings high energy to wherever he skates. I also love skating with the girls, CB and Jen... They always have a lot a fun and are a blast to ride with. How often do you skate? As often as I can...In these times of a million contests, I'm usually sore in between them and I take my time to rest and recover. Most memorable skateboarding experience? It has to be when I witnessed Tony land the big '9'! I knew it was time. I was giving him all the energy I could for him to land it, and when he did....wow. Favorite band / music? Brazilian tunes are my favorite, I enjoy the mystical tunes of the deep playful souls of Brazilian artists. I don't have any specific favorite band, certain performers strike something inside that is just unexplainable. That's the music I enjoy, the ones that can actually make you cry with joy. Pets? I have a little Australian Shepherd. Her name is Roobi. Were your parents supportive of your skating? My dad gave me my first board and helped me set it up. He made it a thing not to give me a setup board. We put it together and from there it went. They were always supportive as long as I could balance everything else that a kid has to do. School soon became second to skateboarding of course. But I grew up fast and enjoyed (believe it or not)going to school. It made me take advantage of my skate time. I definitely had different stages. What would you be doing if you never started skating? Eventually you get into something, if you listen to your heart you'll find something you like doing and make a living off of it. I'm into flying these days, maybe I would've got into it earlier and made a career out of it. Who knows. All I can say is that I'm very thankful of the gift God gave me. Advice to fellow skateboarders? Skate till you drop, you never know when you're going to go. Think about Phil Shao, Curits Hsiang, Ruben Orkin, Tim Brauch, Kit Erickson and many many more skateboarders that are know skating in heaven. Skate 100% every time you go out.

      3.)Kareem Campbell: What's your name and any nicknames? Kareem Campbell… I guess they call me Reemo. When were you born? November, in Harlem, New York. Are you goofy or regular foot. Regular. Nothing's goofy about me. What are your setup specs? I usually ride my small board if I'm going tech, my big board if I'm going big. Where are you from? Harlem, New York. Do you still live there now? No, well I still got a house there but I go back and forth. I got a house in L.A. so I kinda go back and forth. What are your sponsors? City Stars, Ricta wheels, Orion trucks, Velocity bearings, Alpha Numeric clothes, you know, the whole nine. How long have you been skating? Maybe like nine years now. It's been a while. What's your favorite trick? I guess the ghetto bird right now, that's what everyone's… You know the nollie hard [flip] late 180s, switch hard [flip] late 180s. What's your favorite terrain? Anything big and technical, pretty much. I don't really like small ledges. I mean I skate 'em but, I'm trying to progress. Do you have a favorite place to skate? I would say probably Japan… In Japan I had a ball, Australia was good, everywhere kinda has their little touches. Vancouver two years ago was like super good but everything's been skated up and barred up. Who do you usually session with? Everyday is different. I might hang out with Muska, it might be with Elissa Steamer, it might be… we all live in one little campus area. I skate with Guy a lot. How often do you skate? Pretty much, since I've been hurt… you know I just got back on my board a couple days ago. Normally I skate four times out of the week, but we building our own skatepark though, so it'll be pretty much every day. What's your most memorable skateboarding experience? When I was in Prague and I sacked real hard, that was the most crazy scenario. What's your favorite kind of music or favorite groups? I like Sade, Wu Tang, Mob Deep.

Now she loves it… I take care of her now. What would you be doing right now if you weren't skating? Probably playing basketball… I don't really know, I always ask myself that. I have no clue.

      11.)Ed Templeton:

      12.)Chad Fernandez:Riding for World Industries and living in Huntington Beach, CA, Chad Fernandez is on fire. Skating for more than half his life, at 23-years-old Chad is versatile, technical and bad ass. A street skater at heart, he's not afraid to hit ramps as well. With an already solid rep on the streets, he is proving himself a force to be reckoned with on the contest circuit and recently finished in fourth place at the World Cup Thunder Over Louisville contest maintains. Where were you from before that? I've lived in LA for 10 years, around Montebello and Alhambra in the San Gabriel Valley. I also lived in Orange County and Brea for the first 10 years of my life. How long have you been skating? Almost 12 years. How did you start? I have a lot of older brothers, so they've always had skateboards around. I was always interested, but I never skated. Sometimes I'd take 'em and cruise around, but they'd get kind of pissed. Then one day while I was walking home from school, I saw some guy ollie up a curb and it looked so cool. I was like "Oh my God, I need a skateboard." But my mom said she couldn't afford one because they were expensive. My parents ended up getting my older brother a new one and eventually six months later, I got one, so I was stoked. What kind was it? It was a Chris Miller Schmitt Stix. What's it like riding for World? It's pretty cool. I'm pretty much one of the main riders so I get treated really well. I get a lot of opportunities. Doing what I do, just being me, I get opportunities, but I also get opportunities just by riding for World, so it's a nice combination. What do you like to do when you're not skating? I like to hang out with my friends -- go out at night and party and have a good time. I don't really get to do much else because I'm geared toward my future and I'm always doing things that are going to help my future out. So there's not much time in the day to do other things. I like to swim, read magazines, go to movies, play pool and hang out with my girlfriend. I like to go snowboarding when I can, that's fun. And doing little trips to places where I can hang out and party with different people, that's fun too. I love traveling. Are you working on any new tricks you can tell us about? No. Top secret. What kind of music do you like? I like a variety of music. I like a lot of hip-hop, a lot of rock and roll, heavy metal -- like Guns 'N' Roses. I also like jungle music and reggae. How old are you? I just turned 23. Were your parents supportive of your skating? Not really, not like the parents of today who see all this stuff on TV and realize it's accepted. Parents of today see there's a future in it, so it becomes more of a positive thing. It's more of a sport to the community nowadays. I wish I would've had more support from my parents, but that made into the person I am today, so I'm fine with it. If you saw some kid just starting to skate, what kind of advice would you give 'em? Keep skating 'cuz it fun, you'll meet so many cool people and it'll take you places. It's really adventurous, so keep with it and do your own thing. It's always good to be into your own thing. Just have fun with it. Who are your sponsors? World Industries, Osiris Shoes, Darkstar Wheels, Independent Trucks, Furnace Skateshop and Apollo Backpacks. Anybody you want to thank? I just want to thank anybody who's ever supported me and said good things about me. I appreciate all the support.
