Once you’ve got all of your regular popped street basics down, it’s time to move onto the nose of your board and learn The Nollie – which is obviously the starting point of every nollie trick!

How to: Ollie

This trick is the key to virtually every other street trick that exists; the cleaner and higher your ollie is, the easier it will be to learn everything else.

How to: Frontside 180 Ollie

This is the obvious next step after learning the straight ollie. Not only will having a controlled 180 ollie help you learn about landing tricks fakie (i.e backwards) but it will also give you the confidence and technique to move onto more technical variations of the basic 180 (frontside and backside kickflips etc).

How to: Backside 180 Ollie

This uses a similar technique to its frontside version, although it may seem a little more tricky to begin with because you’re turning blindside and you won’t be able to see your landing until you’ve completed the trick.

How to: Kickflip

These days, beginners often start off by trying to learn this crowd-pleaser before they’ve got the ollie worked out. Although the desire to be tech may be tempting, you’re doing yourself a great disservice by rushing into this trick. Without a cleanly popped ollie under your belt, you have no hope of learning properly caught kickflips.

How to: Heelflip

This is another street staple and works on a very similar principle to the kickflip. The main difference, as you might have guessed, is that with the heelflip it’s the heel that does the flipping, not the toe, and that the board rotates in an anti-clockwise direction, unlike the kickflip.

How to: Pop shove it

This is a weird one in that it’s technically pretty easy to do, but to do it with decent pop and to catch it properly on the front foot can be pretty hard, even for the seasoned street raider.

How to: Varial kickflip

admin — Thu, 14 May 2009 14:09:00 +0000

This used to be called the ’180 shove-it kickflip’ since it’s basically a combination of the straight kickflip and the basic pop shove-it, but ‘varial’ obviously sounds cooler, so we’ll run with that.
