Easy tricks for skateboarding

When you try skateboarding first time, you may feel disappointed because you cannot do all tricks which you see other doing very easily. However, you too can learn those tricks, and can impress your friends and peers. Here are few tricks that you can help you master this adventurous sport.

The Ollie is very popular and most favorite among all skate boarders. Start this trick by jumping and hitting your board against the floor as hard as possible, so that it pops up in the air along with you. Then while maintaining your body balance, replace the skateboard under your feet and land safely on the floor. The key to master this trick is to remember to control the board with your one hand and watch your feet movement.

The next trick you can try is kickflip, which is also based on Ollie. While you jump into the air, try to rotate your board 360 degrees, and then land on it. Make sure you rotate the board all way round, otherwise you would end up landing on upside down skateboard. But try this trick only after you have mastered the Ollie.

The bomb drop is another such trick which is done when you are going down the stairs. Jump into the air, with skateboard in your hand. Try to lift it up to your feet while in the air, same way you did in the first trick i.e. Ollie. In beginning try with a small a staircase. Most important to note here is to put on your safety kit like helmet, pads and proper clothes, because falling down the stair case may hurt you a lot.


Another tricks that comes your way is firecracker, which is also based on stair case. As you go down the stairs, shift some of your body weight on to the back foot. This would make back edge of the board to hit the steps and will make some loud noise as it goes down.

The next tricks involve those which are performed on half pipes and ramps. This trick demands great deal of body balance. To practice this trick, reach to the top of the ramp, lean forward towards the tip of your skateboard, put some weight on your front foot and ride down the ramp. But unfortunately there is a little problem associated with trick. When you ride up the ramp your truck may gets stuck up over the edge of ramp and you may fall down. So to overcome that problem makes sure to try a real rock forward over the ramp. Another issue with the kickturn is, when you face a hard time in turning180 degrees. To overcome this challenge, just try to ride straight up and kickturn on the side of the ramp, and ride straight back down. Once you master that, you are ready for that trick.

Like all other sports, practice and patience is the key to master skateboarding. Never expect to do all of the above tricks in first go. First learn to balance your moves on skateboard and then try them out. But the most important is to cover your body parts, other you could hurt yourself.
