NOLLIE FLIP~ Set up going forward just like you do a kickflip, but in the nollie position. You should already know how to nollie and flip the board, nollie. Before you try landing them going nollie, try switch kickflips on carpet or on grass. Once you can land them, try them going nollie. Hit the nose and flip the board whichever way you feel most comfortable. It helps to jump really high to have more accuracy when you land on the board. Balance your weight and ride away.

360 FLIP~ To do a 360 flip, you should first be able to do a varial flip and 360 Pop Shove-it. First put your back foot on the back right edge of the board (back left edge if you are goofy) and put it at an angle so it is on the very edge of the tail. Then put your front foot a couple inches towards you from the middle of the board and then slant your foot the same way you did on your back foot. Set up by bending your knees and then hit your tail while sliding your front foot forward. Through your back foot behind you as quickly as you can as you hit your tail spinning the board till it rotates all the way around. While doing this slide your front foot off the edge of the board using your toe to flip it. Your board does not have to go high just as long as it gets around. You can work on the hieght later. Once it has finished rotating catch the board with your feet and land on it. That's pretty much it. Oh yeah, and then ride away. Bet you didn't do it. If you did, good job.


360 POP SHUV-IT~ You should know how to do regular pop shove-its and at least be able to kickflip and stuff. You'll have to try putting your feet a few different ways. The best way is to put your feet kind of like an ollie and scoot your front foot towards your back a bunch. The most important thing is to keep the board from flipping, so you don't land prematurely or overmaturely. Hit your tail and swing your back foot back. Jump. You want to use the power in your back foot for it. Try to shoot it around fast and grab it with your feet. You might have to jump forward to catch it like a 360 flip (if you can't do this trick, you might want to try a 360 flip.)


BACKSIDE HEELFLIP~ Get going at an average speed so you do not lose the board when flipping it. Place your feet as you were to do a regular inward flip (Varial Heelflip). Ollie and throw your backfoot away from you and slide the front foot straight down. The board should begin to spin backside and flip like a heelflip if done right. Jump forward and catch the board. Keep trying and you'll land it.


FRONTSIDE HEELFLIP~ Land frontside 180's and heelflips before attempting this trick. Set up with your back foot like you would normally have it for a frontside 180. Put your front foot over the toe edge with only your heel on the board. Hit the tail as you would for a frontside 180 but at the same time flick your heel over the toe edge so it spins the 180 and flips at the same time. Continue your body movement in this direction until you have rotated a complete frontside 180 with your body. By this time, the board should have flipped all the way around and spun the 180. Once the board has flipped, catch it with your feet. Keep the board attached to your feet and land in the fakie stance and ride away.


BIG SPIN~ A big spin is a 360 pop shove-it with a backside body varial. OR... a backside 180 with an extra pop shove-it. You should first know how to do backside 180's and pop shove-it's. Once you can do those you should be ready to attempt a big spin. Even though a big spin sounds hard, it really isn't You should first try a big spin riding fakie (backwards). Ride fakie. Then wind up your body like you are going to backside half-cab. Then ollie and unwind. As you spin around towards your stomach and are about to land kick your board ian the same direction you are spinning. In other words you should make the board continue its previous spin and speed up faster than you are so that it spins another 180 really quickly before you land it.



HARDFLIP~ For a hard flip, place your back foot on the tail and your front foot pointed somewhat forward near the heel edge. Hit the tail while sliding your front foot off of the board making it seem to come straight up at you. It will look like it is going to do a flip and land upside down, but with practice you will learn to make it perform a half-flip and land on its wheels. (You may want to try this without trying to land it the first couple of times.) At the same time, you will want to be rotating your body 90º in the frontside direction letting the board flip between your legs. When the board has finished rotating, rotate your body back to your normal stance and catch the board before it hits the ground. Land and ride away clean.
