Have you purchased a skateboard and now want to learn not only how to ride it, but also perform tricks like "cool" skateboarders? This is not difficult if you devote enough time to your favorite pastime, master new elements and constantly hone your skills. In this article, you can find instructions for performing some of the simplest jumps.
Instructions
Step 1
Ollie
"Ollie" is the basic and probably the easiest trick to do on the board. "Ollie" is when a skateboarder jumps above the ground with the board, and it seems to others that the board seems to be glued to his boots.
Speed up on the board, but not very hard. Place the foot of your leading foot in the middle of the board, or slightly in front. Place the jogging foot on the back of the board. Bend your knees slightly.
Now you need to make a so-called click. It is a sharp kick to the back of the board. Immediately after you have made a click, push off the ground along with the board. Push off with your jogging leg, leading you have to pull the board, that is, with the foot of the leading foot, move up and down the board. It is thanks to him that the "glued" effect is created.
Now start landing. In fact, there is no special technique for landing on a skateboard, you can hone this skill only with constant practice. Place your feet against the skateboard bolts.
Step 2
50-50 grind
Get pretty strong on the board. Place your feet the way you want them to be for the "Ollie" trick. Drive pretty close to the edge you are going to jump on.
Now look at the place where you want to jump, make a movement, approximately as for "Ollie" and jump to the edge.
To get down, either go to the end of the edge, or do "Ollie" to the place where you want to jump.
Step 3
BS Pop shove it
This trick is a jump in which the board under you rotates 180 degrees, and you remain motionless.
First of all, become familiar with the "Ollie" jump - it is the basis of this jump. Accelerate, place your feet on the board in the same way as for the "Ollie" trick.
Make a click, the same as for "Ollie", but do not slide your foot on the board, but leave it in the middle. At the moment when the board makes a click on the ground, pull back with your back foot and control the rotation of the board with it.
Step 4
Kickflip
This jump is similar to "Ollie", but just before landing, you need to flip the board. Place your back foot on the tail of the board and your front foot in the middle. The front should protrude slightly.
Do everything in the same way as when jumping "Ollie", only slide your foot not up, but up and to the side. In this case, the board will twist under your feet. When you see that the board has made a full turn, then stand on it and land.
And remember: safety comes first! Good luck learning new tricks.
