Kickflip
One of the most recognized and popular tricks, the Kickflip involves spinning your board in the air while jumping. To do this, you must kick your foot against the side of the board to make it spin horizontally.

50-50 Grind
This trick is performed on railings or curbs. It involves sliding the board over an obstacle, such as a railing, with both trucks' axles touching the surface at the same time. The trick is to maintain balance and slide along the obstacle.

Backside or Frontside 180
Both tricks are variations on the basic flip, but in different directions. In the Backside 180, you flip your body and board backward, while in the Frontside 180, you flip forward. It's important to learn how to flip both ways, as these flips are the foundation for many other tricks.

Boardslide
In this trick, you slide the board horizontally over an obstacle, such as a railing or curb, with the center axle of the truck touching the surface. It requires maintaining balance and gliding smoothly along the obstacle.
