Fingerboarding Tips and Tricks
Visit My Friends HomePage!
You are at my Tips and Tricks Section, i hope you like this page. It took me ages to type it all up. If you try real hard, you should be able to do it. Good Luck!
These tricks go from easiest to hardest
1.) THE OLLIE
The ollie is one of the basic moves of fingerboarding. You put your 3 middle fingers on
the board and� apply preasure to the back of the board so the front pops up. Then
just lead the board over the object.� This move is the key to many tricks. It is also
what you do to do a grind (rail slide).
2.) KICKFLIP
Place 2 fingers on the board, one at the tail and one right next to it. Push the tail down
and move your finger up and fowards. Catch the board and land.
3.) MISTY
Put your fingers on the board like the positions on the kickflip. Pop the board in the air
real hard and catch it looking like "The Man."
4.) BACKFLIP/FRONTFLIP
FOR THIS MOVE you should have a book or ramp to jump off of.
Backflip: Put both fingers in the middle of the board and slightly move one towards the
tail. Push on the tail� and catch it when it lands.
Frontflip: Do the same as the backflip but move one finger towards the front of the board,
not the back.
5.) 50-50 GRIND
This is a tough trick! Get airborne and land both trucks on the rail. Pop the tail up at
the last second and� slide off. This requires patience.
6.) NOSE, TAIL, OR BOARD SLIDE
For all of them, get airborne somehow. Get near the object you are going to do the trick
on. When� airborne, catch the board and land on the rail, doing a board slide, or
push the tail end on the rail, doing a� tail slide, or push the nose down, doing a
nose slide.
7.) POP SHOVE IT
Put one finger at the tail of the board and one at the middle of the board. Then push down
the back of the� board and then swing your back finger towards the front and do a 180
or 360 spin.
8.) 360 SPIN
To do this trick you must have a small platform to do it on. A cd case is a good thing.
All you have to do is� push the tail down and do the same as the pop shove it trick
but maneuvering it in the air at the same time.� You should land on the case. This is
very tough to do sometimes. When doing this trick make sure not to� crack your board
by pressing on it to hard
