How to Do Skateboarding Tricks - 4 Easy Tricks You Can Master

The one question that every boarder has always asked is how to do skateboarding tricks. You cant consider yourself a true boarder until you have asked how to do skateboarding tricks. So since you have asked, here are four of my favourite tricks.

The first of my favorite tricks is the bonless one. When I first asked what would soon become my mentor how to do skateboarding tricks he showed me this. I had only just learned to do basic turns but was very good at it. This trick is like a classic. It has been around so long that there are now loads of variations of it. This is how to do it. You start by taking your board from your feet as you jump of as well. Then with one foot, you jump into the air. As you do you replace your board under your feet and land it perfectly. Although this sounds prety tough, you can easily do so long as you practice it often enough. In fact this trick is so easy that most boarder, particular the younger generations, no longer put it in their displays. I say it give any exhibition something a bit different and it is unique enough to put it in.

Another trick I like is the bomb drop. You will probably have seen this mainly on the street, but it is good enough to occasionally sneak into professional competitions. As an alternative to the ollie, the bomb drop is by far the easiest and most impressive. What you do for a bomb drop is when you are going down a flight or stairs, jumo first with the board in your hands and then bring it up to your feet whilst in mid air. This is not exactly the safest trick, and I took a few hits when trying to master it so here are a few pointer for tring it. Start with a small height. Wear you safety gear, it hurts if you dont. It takes a bit of time to nail the hand eye coordination.

The third of the trick we will look at today is another fairly easy one. Its called the coffin, although it is not as scary as it sounds. To start with you need to get a good run up, you will need a good amount of speed. Position your body at the front of your skateboard. The place your hands in the middle of your skateboard, both hands of course. Then lean back, and sit in the middle of your board. Lie prostrate and pretend you are in a coffin. And ther is your trick.

My final fav trick gets in for its entertainment value. This one is called the firecracker. For this trick, you need a good flight of stairs. As you are going down the stairs,shift some weight onto your back foot and allow the back of your board to slap off the steps. This will make a noise like a firework going off.
