Other Tricks

 Here you'll find information on how to do some tricks that aren't in any of the other categories.  These include ollies, 180's, kickturns, etc.

Ollie:  This is the easiest trick to do on a skateobard.  In fact, it's so easy that most people don't even consider it a trick.  Just pop the back of the board and level out the front of the board with your front foot.  Simple as that.

FS 180: Set up like an ollie, then wind your arms in the opposite direction that you're going to spin.  Jump and sipn, then land it.  Here's a video on how to do it.

 Kickturn:  This is a basic vert manuever, not really a trick.  Just go up one side of the ramp, then lift up the nose and do a 180 manual.  It's simple, just practice and you'll get it in no time.

Fakie Ollie:  The same as an ollie, but ride fakie and push the board in front of you more.

Half Cab:  Set up like a fakie ollie and then do a 180.  It's the easiest way to do a 180.  If you can already 180, this trick should be no problem for you.

Caveman: Grab the board indy style but don't be on it.  Then just jump, put the board under your feet, and ride away.

Dropping In: Just do it.  It's easy.  Push down with your front foot and ride away.  Fear is the only obstacle.
