Trick Tips

Foot Positions and Jumps-

Regular: Ride with left foot in front

Goofy: Ride with right foot forward

Mongo: When you kick with your front foot with your back foot on the bolts.

Regular Kick: When you kick with the back foot with front foot on bolts.

Switch: When you ride opposite of your normal footing position. Example: You normally ride regular, but ride Goofy.

Ollie: An ollie is the basis of skateboarding. It makes you jump into the air. You do it by puting your front foot about 2inches behind the front bolts, and your back foot on the tail. Lean forward on the board, then lean back and smack the tail on the ground and jump with it at the same time, sliding your foot to the front. Land by leveling your board in the air.

Nollie: This is more difficult. Ride in a switch position. Put your front foot on the nose, and position your back foot 2inches behind the back bolts and do the same as an ollie. This is basically a backwards ollie.

Fakie Ollie: This is a nollie with your feet in the switch position.
