[element92]

first get familiar with the board then try the ollie but if u feel like trying other things besides that try the shuvit

[wowwhatsthat]

How i learned was the ollie first the i went to a pop shuvit then a 180, then a kickflip i have been working on that for like a month and i have landed it a few times..hope that helps..later

let me guess, your favorite skater is BAM, dont worry that will all pass once you start getting into skateboarding more, just never quit, even if you feel like you suck. try getting confortable just riding around on your board then try ollies, and go on from there, ask your friends for help, that the best thing you got right now

one more post till get to 100....yay

get a lite board to start out but not one thats small it will be harder to land tricks.id try a 7.62 or 7.75

you should just ask your friends this kind of stuff. they could probably be a big help.

[just skate dude]

ollie first then its up to u

[Primaryvivid]

Learn to ride the board; get used to how it moves, then start practicing a moving ollie. Once you stick them, go on to Pop shuv-its.

ollie first then its up to u

Not really true. You can go from shuvits to tres!


Order (SMART)

Ollie
Shuvit
Popshuvit
180s
Kickflip
Varial Kickflip
Heelflip
FS popshuvit
tre flip

From here is your choice BASICALLY.
