What Is The List Of All Skateboard Tricks And How Do You Perform Them?

Before hitting the street …

Today I would like to share with you all the skateboard tricks that I have compiled during my learning practice.

I hope that you can use this skateboard tricks list as a reference for your development. These tricks are very cool to perform and have a mixed difficulty depending on your skills.

You might even learn faster if you own a specific skateboard for tricks. These skateboards are designed for top performance and coolest movements, just right for YOU!

So don’t miss this out and let’s jump right into my list!

Skateboard Flip Tricks

In my opinion, the flip tricks are the coolest among everything in my skateboard tricks list.
Imagine you are flying in mid-air while your skateboard is flipping multiple times.

Is he/she going to land it smoothly? There might be failures and injuries? It goes on and on…

Everyone around you is too afraid to do these tricks, while you are the only one can accomplish.

That is the impressive feeling you could ever wish for.

These tricks require lots of practice and your trials with errors. You might not get them right away, as long as you keep moving forward, I believe you will eventually do them all.

Here they are!
