Skateboarding has evolved from a simple pastime to a vibrant and competitive sport, where the key to mastering it lies in learning and perfecting various tricks. Each trick represents a unique expression of creativity, skill, and style. Skateboarding tricks can be categorized into different types, from aerial maneuvers to slides and grinds. This article will explore some of the most iconic and technical skateboarding tricks, providing insights and guidance for skaters eager to expand their repertoire.
## Aerial Tricks
Aerial tricks, also known as “airs,” are maneuvers performed while the skateboarder is airborne. These tricks require both skill and bravery, as they often involve reaching significant heights and maintaining control in the air.
### The Aerial
The “Aerial” is a foundational trick in vert skating, where the rider launches off a ramp or a vertical wall, performing spins and grabs in the air before landing back on the ramp. Mastering the aerial is essential for any skater looking to excel in vert ramps or bowls.
### Airwalk
The Airwalk involves the skater launching into the air and then kicking their front foot forward while grabbing the nose of the board with their back hand. This creates a distinctive “walking” motion in the air. It’s a visually impressive trick that demands precise timing and coordination.
### Benihana
The Benihana is an aerial trick where the skater grabs the tail of the board with their back hand while extending the back leg off the board. It combines elements of both style and control, making it a favorite among advanced skaters.
## Flip Tricks
Flip tricks involve the skateboard rotating in various directions while the skater executes different maneuvers. These tricks are fundamental to street skating and are often seen in skateboarding competitions.
### Backside Flip
A Backside Flip is a combination of a backside 180 and a kickflip. The skater performs a kickflip while simultaneously rotating their body 180 degrees in a backside direction. This trick requires a good understanding of both the kickflip and the backside 180.
### Double Kickflip
The Double Kickflip is an advanced variation of the kickflip, where the board flips twice before the skater lands. This trick requires significant flicking power and precise timing to ensure a clean landing.
### Fakie Flip
In a Fakie Flip, the skater rides backward (fakie stance) and performs a kickflip. This trick can be challenging due to the reverse riding position, but it adds a unique twist to the traditional kickflip.
## Grind and Slide Tricks
Grind and slide tricks involve the skateboarder sliding along an obstacle with the trucks or the deck of the skateboard. These tricks are commonly performed on rails, ledges, and curbs.
### Backside Grind
The Backside Grind is a fundamental trick where the skater approaches the obstacle with their back facing it and grinds along it using the skateboard’s trucks. This trick serves as a foundation for more advanced grinds.
### Backside Noseblunt
In a Backside Noseblunt, the skater approaches the obstacle backside and lifts the front of the board over the obstacle, sliding with the nose of the board. This trick requires balance and precision, as the nose must be perfectly positioned.
### Backside Smith Grind
The Backside Smith Grind involves grinding on the back truck while the front truck hovers above the obstacle. The skater approaches backside and locks the back truck onto the rail or ledge. This trick is a stylish addition to any skater’s repertoire.
### Backside Tailslide
The Backside Tailslide is performed by sliding the tail of the board along an obstacle while the skater faces away from it. It requires control and balance to keep the slide smooth and consistent.
### Blunt Slide
In a Blunt Slide, the skater ollies onto an obstacle and lands with the tail of the board on the edge, sliding backward. This trick combines elements of both slides and grinds, making it technically demanding.
### Crooked Grind
The Crooked Grind is performed by grinding the front truck while the board is angled diagonally. The skater must approach the obstacle at an angle and lock the front truck onto the edge, maintaining the crooked position throughout the grind.
### Darkslide
The Darkslide is a unique and challenging trick where the skater flips the board upside down and slides along the obstacle on the grip tape. This trick requires a high level of skill and creativity, as the board must be flipped and balanced perfectly.
### Casperslide
The Casperslide involves flipping the board and landing with one foot underneath the deck while sliding along an obstacle. It combines elements of slides and flips, demanding precise foot placement and balance.
## Spin and Pivot Tricks
Spin and pivot tricks involve rotating the board and the skater’s body, often in combination with other maneuvers.
### Bigspin
A Bigspin is a combination of a 360 shove-it and a 180 body spin. The skater pops the board into a 360-degree rotation while turning their body 180 degrees in the same direction. This trick requires coordination and timing to land smoothly.
### Caballerial
The Caballerial, named after skater Steve Caballero, is a fakie 360 ollie. The skater rides fakie, spins 360 degrees, and lands back in fakie stance. It is a visually impressive trick that showcases the skater’s ability to spin smoothly.
### Fakie Bigspin
The Fakie Bigspin is similar to the regular Bigspin but performed while riding fakie. The skater must pop the board into a 360-degree rotation while spinning their body 180 degrees in the fakie stance. This trick adds complexity to the standard Bigspin.
### Fakie Ollie
A Fakie Ollie is a basic trick where the skater performs an ollie while riding backward. It’s a foundational trick for many fakie variations, requiring the skater to maintain control while riding in the reverse stance.
### Fakie Shove-it
In a Fakie Shove-it, the skater performs a shove-it while riding fakie, popping the board into a 180-degree spin. This trick is a great way to add variety to a skater’s fakie tricks and requires timing and precision.
Skateboarding tricks offer endless opportunities for creativity and self-expression. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced skater, learning new tricks can enhance your skills and add excitement to your skating experience. With practice and dedication, you can master these iconic maneuvers and make them your own.
