The Trick-tionary
Youtube is a wonderful resource for learning new tricks. But after a while can get frustrating searching for that video you watched just the other day but suddenly can’t seem to find. Since I’d much rather be out riding than sitting in front of the computer searching fruitlessly, I started keeping a list.
I call it ‘The Trick-tionary’.
This list isn’t exhaustive, so if you’ve filmed or found a video for a trick which isn’t on the list, please leave a link to the video in the comment section below and I’ll add it to the list. Have fun riding, remember what mother used to say (“It’s the car you don’t see that kills you!”), and Wear Your Helmet!

Nothing beats a good cross-step. It’s the best place to start learning and really improves your balance. After that, just start picking tricks you want to learn and go from there.

You cross your legs like in the middle of a Cross Step, then carve and slide your board 180 degrees. All you need to do now is to pivot your feet and you’ll be riding in the same stance as in the beginning, but without your legs being crossed.

thank you so much for putting this up
180°er?
August 31, 2011 at 10:18
Hi guys, I’m looking for a trick but I don’t know its name. It is a rather simple one where you use your backfoot to turn your board 180° by sticking it under the board and kicking it. I do not know however what to do exactly with the frontfoot for I’m not able to keep on the board, while doing that. That’s why I’m looking for an explanation on what to do with the frontfoot but I can’t find any since I don’t know the name/a video/a site that explains it.

Hey! Just a constructive critic. Maybe you could introduce an option where you rank the tricks from easy (beginner) to hard. So people who are starting (like me
) can easly pick out a trick and start good. Just saying it would be awesome!
THough, nice blog!

I’ve been surfing around online more than two hrs right now, and after finding you
on http://thecanalian.wordpress.com/longboard/tricks/, I certainly haven’t discovered any interesting posts like yours. In my opinion, if all web site owners and blog writers created great content as you have, the internet will be a lot more advantageous than at any time prior.
