Hardflips are pretty hard to learn, so first try to learn to frontside flip(frontside 180 kickflips). Ya gotta flip the frontside flip between your legs ( Chad Muska Style ), get comfortable with those. Second if ya wanta hardflip, you gotta keep your upper body straight and have your feet frontside flip. The hard part is probably getting your back foot up fast enough to the board, if you pop it. All right if you want to skip learning Frontside flips: 1. pop the board straight up 2.jump straight up and kick with your front foot 45 degrees going upward 3. bring your back foot up 4.look down 5. try to catch the board or just try to keep your feet above it 6. land down, centered above your board, on the bolts hopefully!! 7.scream and shout and say "thats the sh*t b*tch!!" to all your friends!

I just came up with a new trick. I don't know it it has already been thought of. It is quite difficult though. 1. Place feet at ollie foot placement. Push them a little to the outside towards your back. 2. Do and ollie. But when sliding your foot turn the board sideways. 3. Then turn the board around. It will be very strange at first. Practice is what will let you learn it. TIP: When doing this trick, Practice slow at first. Or else you'll fall causing some serious damage.

This trick is a backside 180 kickflip and heelflip. These tricks are both very similar. You should be capable to land both heelflips and kickflips consistintley before you should try these tricks. for a 180 kickflip, have your front foot right under the bolts and your back foot on the tail. All you do is go up, twist your body first, and when u get 90 degrees, flip it down, catch it and land it smoothly. The same thing is with 180 heelflips. Have your front foot hanging a little off the board and your back foot on the tail. You go up, pop the tail, twist your body, when u get 90 flip it down, and ride away smoothly. The landing are hard to get down but keep trying and you'll get it.

This trick, for me, is easier to do than a regular 360 flip. Because your doing it fakie, all you have to do is position your feet like you would in a regular 360 flip, all u have to do is, go up, flip it faster than you would a regular 360, and it will automatically flip for you. This is how i first learned regular 360 flips because they're so much easier to do. It may take a while for the landing, but keep trying!

Frontside Lipslide: This trick is a hard trick to learn if you don't know how to do frontside tailslides. I suggest u learn frontside tailslides first because it will be easier to land frontside lipslides. All u do is go up to the ledge at a 45 degree angle, do like a frontside 90 over the ledge, landing in the boardslide position. Slide as long as you can and pop off fakie or regular, whatever you feel like doing. Land it smoothly with a big smile on your face. Thats all.

Double Kickflips

To do these tricks it takes alot of practice and being able to keep the board strait when it spins. To do this you you need to kick the board faster with your toe and bring your knees way high up, and just before you land put them down. You can do them on flat ground but I suggest that you try them off a curb first. What you do is put your front toe just below the bolts, but not hanging off the board so much. Kick the board just like a kickflip but a little faster. If the board does not stay strait its either because your kicking up to much or your turning the board with your back foot. This trick may seem impossible at first but practice it and you will figure out how to spin it and that the sh*t almost every time.

You are going up a concrete hill at a comfortable speed. You put your right foot off, let your board roll, and catch the tail with your left foot. Then you push down on the tail, spin the board 180 degrees to the left, and then jump on it. You should then be going down the hill in fakie. Trick submitted by Casey Coates.

This is a very hard trick. First you put two feet on the tail of the board. Have your two hands on the tip of the board. Try to level all four wheels by jumping. It is hard because when you try to level the board out you usually smash your face. Don't try it unless you want a sliced up face!

1. Have your weight to far back, and spend a week in bed with a bruised back,

2. Have your weight to far foreward and get thrown foreward on to the pavement, or

3. You'll slide along on it, and dismount perfectly like a pro! Congrats man, that's a Boardslide!

Here's another version:

An Acid Drop is a manual off of a drop. Like a curb. That's it. Just do a manual before a drop and then land on the ground.
Submitted by Spencer.

Okay, to do a 50-50, approach a curb (we'll use a curb in this example) slightly at it, but pretty much paralell to it, at moderate speed. When you feel it is the right time, Ollie halfway onto the curb, so that your two trucks are grinding along. You should go a few inches, or if the curb is waxed, you'll go further depending on your speed. 2 of your wheels should be rolling along too, while the other 2 wheels hang off in space. To get off just pivot, or ride off the end of the object.

The Kickflip is a fairly hard trick to do, and there may be times when you get mad enough to want to quit skating, but if you keep at it, you'll get it.The Kickflip consists of spinning the board with your toes, to the toeside, the opposite way of a Heelflip, and landing it. To do a Kickflip, 1. Place rear foot on the "sweet spot" of the tail, and the front foot on the nose side of center with it angled at 45 degrees. Make sure the heel of your front foot is hanging off the edge at least 2". 2. Ollie, but kick your front foot off the toe-side of the deck. This will get it spinning underneath you, duh. 4. Catch the board with your feet and land.

This trick is the halfcab heelflip. First, you put your feet in a regular halfcab position with your left foot (if your regular footed) hanging off a little bit off the side of your board. Then you just half-cab, your feet should automatically flip the board forward, and land smoothly cuz you just landed a fat trick. Contributed from RYe RYe from freakmont CA

Not even close to as hard as the k-grind (see next trick) it is actually kind of easy.

Learn kickflips (duh) then the backside boardslides, so ride. Moderate speed not slow the faster,the more you have a chance of doing one right. So ride then Kickflip but right before you fip it turn 90 degrees. So now your in the air and it is flippin. Make sure you catch it in the air before you slide along backside. Then make sure you turn the 90 degrees when you come off. THis tricks impresses everyone. Even more on a higher fun box. So show it off.

*NOTE- This trick may sound like a pressure flip, but the person who submitted this assures me that it is not, in fact, a normal pressure flip. But he says it could be a different type. But since he doesn't know, he calls it a Funky Flip.

This is a trick I learned from someone I met at a skatepark, called "Drop In". It is a hard trick to do. What you do is you stand on your board with your back foot (If your regular foot) over the the part of the board where it starts to turn into the tail. You also want it to be towards the edge of the board so your foot is on its toes or at most a quarter of your foot. Your front foot should be about where it would be to do a ollie. What you do is do an ollie but you dont use your front foot you lift it up above the board. With the back foot push down like you would to do an ollie. Your board will do something like a kickflip the only difference is your board will spin in a 180 backside. This is a hard trick to learn it took me almost 3 weeks to learn but dont give up on it.

This is how you do it, have your back foot hanging off a little off the toe edge of the board, have your front foot on your board like you were going to do a kickflip. All you have to do is swing both legs like a 360 shove-it only flipping out with your front foot. Try to keep it under you and land with a fat smile on your face. Trick by Ryan Meyer from Fremont CA

When I say 'Transition Tricks', I mean tricks that can be done a 2 foot quarter pipe, to an 11 foot vert ramp. Hence the 'Transition' part.

When you come up a quarter pipe do an "Acid Drop" kind of, but don't let go on the first jump. Instead jump 3 times on weave your foot in and out of your arm holding your deck. The turn to go down the quarter pipe and put the board underneath you so you don't bust your a** on the way down. This will take you awhile to master.
