you will learn how to do different skateboard tricks.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • skateboard
  1. Step 1

    The first and most basic trick on a skateboard is an ollie. All you do is use your back foot and and push down on the tail(back of your skateboard). Then you slide your other foot up so the board can even out, and thats how you do an ollie.

  2. Step 2

    Another trick that you should learn is called a casper. This trick will sound basic but is hard to do. First you turn your skateboard over. Then you put one foot on top either on the nose or tail of the skatebord, the other foot will be under the skateboard in the center. Then you flip your foot thats under the skateboard over the foot thats on top and land it. Thats how you do a casper.

  3. Step 3

    The last trick I will talk about is the manual, it takes time to learn it but its worth it. First you coast on your skateboard, then you slightly press the tail down so your nose can lift,but make sure your tail dosen't hit the ground. Then you just balance for as long as you can. Those are my skateboard tricks that im trying to learn so practice and you'll eventually learn them.

Tips & Warnings
  • practice as much as you can or you won't learn them.
