Things You’ll Need:

• sk8board
• trucks
• weals

1. 1
   Structure: Tabs are written as six lines, one for each string. The top line represents the high e string and the bottom string represents the low e string with the others in-between, respectively. Often there will be vertical lines. These lines either represent a break between phrases or bar lines similar to contemporary music. There will be numbers on the lines. These lines tell you what fret to play and the line that it is on, identifies what string to play. Make not that a 0 means to play an open note and an X means to mute that string. Melodic phrases (picking) will be in a progressive order (example 1) where harmonic phrases (chords) will be identified by several numbers in the same line on different strings (example 2).
   Step2
   Hammering and Pulling: Hammering is identified by an h. For example, if you are going to pick 4th fret and hammer onto 5th fret, you will see this: 4h5. If you are suppose to hammer without picking an initial note, which is uncommon, you will see this: h5. Pulling is the same except it is identified by a p. Example 5p4. Sometimes a hammer and a pull are identified by a hat and it will look like this: 4^5^4. This is used more often when you are doing a lot of hammering and pulling in the same phrase.
2. Place your other foot just ahead of the center of your board with about half of your foot (on the heel side) hanging off.
3. Snap your tail hard for maximum pop. While doing this, slide the remainder of your front foot off the side of the board to make it spin. (Make sure to use your toe and not the bottom of your foot.)
4. Leap over the obstacle of your choice, meanwhile keeping the board rotating under your feet.
5. Catch your board on the grip with each foot and begin your great descent.
6. Bend your knees when you hit the ground.
7. Now show off to the olliers on the block and you got a kick flip
