Simple skateboarding tricks #1

Beginner Trick Skateboard

The boneless one is one of the classic skateboarding tricks from all time. It is also very simple to perform. There are so many variations in this trick. With this trick you start by taking your board from your feet just as you get of as well. Afterwards, you leap with one foot then end by returning your board to its original position (under your feet) as you make a perfect landing. Although it sounds less than easy, with a little practise you will have it mastered in less than one week. It really is that simple. It is so simple that it has faded away especially amongst the younger generation of skaters. I think it is still a coll trick to have in your repertoire.

The coffin is a scary sounding trick, but there is no need to shy away from it, it is fairly simple to perform. To start of the trick, you will need a good amount of speed. Move your body to the front of your skateboard. Hold on the the sides of your skateboard, and sit back into the middle of your skateboard. Then lean back, and lie prostrate. There you go, thats your trick.

Brighten up the streets with this entertaining trick. Just like setting up a fireworks show, you need to carefully plan this trick and the whole thing needs to be really precise. For this trick you need to a good flight of stair with lots of steps. As you go down the stairs, you can increase your speed by deliberately leaning some of your weight towards the back of your board. This will cause the back of your board slap against the steps. This will hopefully sound like a fireburst from a firework. Consistency is the main element of a good firecracker.

The bomb drop is a trick normally seen on the street but also does feature in professional competitions. Basically, an alternative to ollie, involves performing a jump or a drop, but instead you jump with your board from under your feet and the pull it up to your feet, mid air.
