Powerslide

Ride along at a fairly fast speed. Put your front foot on the nose and keep your back foot on the tail. Keep riding along, and then putting pressure on the whole board, start to slide your tail around. Dont lift it off the ground, just force it around. While doing this lean back slightly. The board should be sideways and you should slide along for a little bit and then stop completely.

Powerslide 180

Ride along and setup for a powerslide. Riding quite fast, turn into the powerslide and slide for a little, but instead of coming to a complete stop turn the other 90 so that you are rolling along in fakie.

Fastplant

Ride along with some speed. Lean down and grab the toeside of the board with your front hand. Take your front foot off and in a sweeping motion lift yourself quickly into the air. Let go of the board and get your foot back on, and land on the bolts.

Fastplant 180

Setup like a fastplant, and do everything involved but when you push youself into the air turn a 180. Everything else is the same except you are landing in fakie.

Fastplant 360

To do this setup like a fastplant 180, but when you do push yourself into the air, force yourself around even harder so you get the full 360. You should put your board underneath yourself near the end of the 360.

Fastplant Fingerflip

Do a normal fastplant, but as you are about to put it underneath you flip it around with your hand like a fingerflip. Wait for it to finish spinning and catch it with your feet and land on the bolts.

Fastplant Hand shuvit

Setup like a fastplant, but when you push yourself into the air, spin the board like a shuvit with your hand. Catch it once it has stopped spinning with both feet and land on the bolts.

Tic-Tac

To tic-tac, ride along with a little speed. Lift you nose and quickly turn it slightly to one side and tap it on the ground. Lift it up quickly and then quickly take it over to the other side and do the same. Keep repeating the same process but make sure to do it with some speed. This is mainly used to gather speed when you feel you are losing some.

End Overs

To set up for this put your back foot on the tail and your front foot on the nose. Riding along, lift your tail and swing it so you are in fakie. Then lift your nose and swing it around so you are back in your normal stance. You must not stop after the first turn though. Keep repeating this for as much as you want. It helps you gain balance for turns and stuff.

Space Walk

To do this you must have great balance with manuals. Ride along with some speed and start to manual. But while manualing start moving your board from side to side quite slowly so you are slightly moving from side to side. Hold it for as long as possible and then put your board down when you are finished.

Ollie Decks

To ollie over boards, you cant be scared to go at it to fast. Ride up towards the board with a good amount of speed but make sure to watch how far you are from the board. You may want to set a point you are going to ollie from when you are just learning. So riding up to the board, ollie just a little bit before you come into contact with the board. Pop a hard ollie so you lift higher into the air and as you are coming to land, make sure both feet are above the bolts.

Ollie Stairs

When you first start, try to work from smaller stairs. Start on a two or three set, which dont require much speed or that big an ollie, and then work your way up. To ollie a stair set, ride towards it(more speed will be need for a bigger set) and as you are about to go over the edge of the set ollie, but try and get a big ollie so you are used to it. As you are going down, get your feet on the bolts, and as you hit the ground stay low so you dont fall off.

Wallplant

There is two ways to do a wallplant, either holding your board and running towards the wall or riding and ollieing out. 1. Holding your board by the nose in your hand run towards the wall, jump and push you back foot onto the wall. Stay up there for a second then push yourself out and as you are going out put your board back under you and land quite low. 2. Ride up to the wall and as you are coming close, ollie, but kick it so it leaves your feet and goes in front of you. Catch it with your front hand and you should still be in the air at this point. Land in the wall with your back foot, and quickly push off. Throw your board back underneath you and land on the bolts.

Wallplant Fingerflip

Do a wallplant in whatever way you prefer, but then you are pushing out of it, flip the board with your front hand, wait for it to stop spining and catch it with your feet and land on the bolts.
