In order to learn the kickflip, it is necessary that you learn the ollie.

Now that you have learned it, I want you to get on your board in an ollie stance. Okay, we're going to have to alter this stance a little. Take you front foot and put it right before the front bolts. Now turn it 45 degrees. The ball of your back foot should be in the middle of your tail.

Now to actually do the trick. First you gotta pop down your tail real hard, just like an ollie, so you begin to get off the ground.

As you rise, you should slide your foot the way you do for an ollie, but you want to slide off the heel edge of your board also.

Now you better have your feet outta the way. However you gotta do it, do it.

Wait for the board to spin around, and stay well above it. When it comes around bring your feet back in and catch it. The best place for your feet to catch the board is right on top of all the bolts. You want to "catch" or "grab" it in the air with your feet, and then bend your knees a little because the ground is coming.

When your board hits the ground (and you should be on it at this point...), you need to use your legs like shocks on a car, and obsorbe the landing.

Ride away looking cool, because you just did one of the harder basic tricks to master.

Twisted Flip

This a new trick. It is very sick when you do it off of stairs or loading docks. To do this, you have got to now how to kickflip, pop-shuvit, and the compnents of a sex change.
You have got to place your back foot on the edge of the tail, and your front foot pointing at a 45 degree angle about 2 inches away from the first set of screws.

1. Ride along at good speed

2.Ollie as high as you can

3.Kick your back foot away from you like a pop shuvit

4.Almost immediatly kick your front foot out as far as you can like a kickflip

-Your board should now be doing a varial

5.As soon as you kick out, spin your body to the left like a body varial.

6.Stick it and ride away like a pro.

SK8 OR DIE

Emerald Flip

Here's a new one..
>From Justin K. R.
EMERALD FLIP - (Fancy, twisty backside shove-it)

-THIS TRICK IS EXTREMELY HARD TO DO BY FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. IT'S AN EXTREMELY HARD TRICK. YOU MUST SEE SOMEONE ELSE DO IT OR HAVE SOMEBODY SHOW YOU HOW.

You must ollie REALLY high for this trick. Start in the position of a heelflip, front foot all the way across the board and behind the screws. Snap the tail and do 1/4 of a heelflip - let the board

rise higher than your feet in between your legs- your front foot must go outward and your back foot must go behind you, the board should go verticle with the top facing away from you. While in the air, make your front foot go down past the bottom of the board where the bolts are on the top side. Keep the bottom of your front foot parallelto the ground and perpendicular to your board. Your heel should be near the bottom of the front bolts. At the same time as this, lift your back foot up and put it behind the tail with your toes at the bottom of the deck. In the air, your board should be on its side and your feet should be on opposite sides of it - front foot on grip tape side and back foot on the wheel side behind the tail. Now pull both feet up to you while pushing back with your heel and pushing foward with your toes. Be sure to pull your feet above the board at this step or you'll land casper and smash your toes. The board should spin like a backside shove-it while leveling out and move right under your feet - that should be in normal standing position now. Ride away and sit down so nobody asks you to do it again.

Rail Flip

this is called railflip.

1.u stand the board up on its side so the wheels r facing out

2.now stand with your front foot on the front wheels and the side of the board. and put your back foot on the side of the tail (a little past the truck)with most of your weight on the front foot.

3.now the tricky part, push down and backwards with your back foot and lift your front foot.

4.the board should do 1 and 1/2 flips and a 360, try to stay above the board while it flips and land on the griptape when it comes around.

ride off knowing u just pulled off tight trick!

Sall Flip

get used to doing this trick on flat first because it's to do in the air first go.

Prepare for an ollie and hold leading hand out in front of you ready to grab the nose

Have your palm facing out so that your hand is twisted.

Ollie and kick the board up into your hand. Make sure your hand grabs the board with your fingers on the grip side.

Twist your wrist around so the griptape is facing upwards.

Spin the board in front of you in a 360 shov-it motion.

once the board has done a full 360 and your wrist can't turn anymore put the board back under your feet.

(NOTE- when ramp skating do SAL-FLIPS TO FAKIE, they look even sicker)
