Things You'll Need

• Skateboard

Instructions

Endovers

1. Put your back foot on the board just behind the back set of bolts. Put your toes near the edge of the board.

2. Place your front foot just in front of the front bolts on the skateboard. Put your foot close to the edge of the heel side of the board.

3. Shift your weight to your back foot and raise the nose of the board. As the end of the board comes up turn 180 degrees and shift your weight back to the front foot, bringing the board back down.

4. Repeat step 3. Be sure to do this trick quickly and not leave any pauses in the trick. As soon as you finish one endover, keep going.

Boneless

1. Get on your skateboard and begin rolling. At first you will want to roll very slowly until you learn the trick inside and out.

2. Crouch down and grab the board with your back hand (if your left foot is the front foot, this will be your right hand, if your right foot is forward it will be your left hand).

3. Step off the skateboard with your front foot and place it on the ground. This will shift your weight to the back foot and the front end of the board will come up.

4. Jump off the ground as high as you can off your front foot while still holding on to the air and keeping your back foot on the board.

5. Let go of the board when you reach the peak of your jump and bring your front foot up and back on the board. Stomp down to bring the board back down to the ground and land the trick.
