360 flip
1) First you need to be able to keep a good amount of control and balance on your board.
2) Approach the obstacle you want to try to do the trick over or down.
3) Sweep your back foot in the opposite direction you are facing
4) At the same time let your front foot flick straight off the corner of your board where the concave starts. If your goofy it will be the right side, regular would be the left side.
5) After doing this let your board rotate under you until you see the board folding up to your feet
6) Catch the board and land solid avoiding wheel bite
Note: foot positions vary from person to person, I prefer to set my back foot in the corner of the board and my front foot right under the bolts with my heel hanging off
5-0 1) approach the object with a good amount of speed.
2) try to come at the object parallel or with a slight angle.
3) ollie as if going into a 50-50 but with your weight on your back foot.
4) get into the grind with your weight on your back foot but your body forward (you dont want to lean back and slip out).
5) shift your weight back forward and even out the board as you come to the end of the object
6) try to land bolts, absorb the impact, ride away.

4) Suck up your legs for the catch. Try and keep your feet over the bolts.
5) Land and absorb the shock and roll away.
Nollie Flip 1) Drop in going toward the pyramid at a decent speed.
2) Turn towards the hip you are going to land on.
3) Nollie pop and flip shifting your weight back in mid-air so you can land back on the board.

360 Shuvit: 1) Push at a medium speed or what you know is best for you.

50-50 Switch Out 1) before thinking about this, you must be confident with doing 50-50's

3)get that grind on, and once you get to the end of the object, prepare to throw yourself into the opposite stance.
4)as you come off, body varial, land on your board, ride away with a nice feeling.

2) Place your front foot near the middle of your board, about two inches under your bolts. Put your back foot on the tail.
3) Squat, so you can spring yourself up.
4) Kick your back foot down so you can pop as you jump up, your front foot should rub upward on your griptape.
5) Make sure you tuck your knees to your chest, picking up your back foot as well to level the board at a good height. REMEMBER you are jumping forward.
6) Then come down comfortably, both feet on the board. It will look better if both your feet are over the bolts as well as lessen the stress of impact
7) Finally bend your legs as you touch down to give it that smooth style and roll away stocked.

2) Pop an ollie turning 90 degrees onto the rail, bench, ect.
3) Once on the rail keep your weight centered to avoid slipping out.
4) Once at the end of the rail turn out and ride away.
5) note: The faster you go the easier the boardslide.
50-50 1) Learn to Ollie and get comfortable with ollieing while moving at a high rate of speed.

2) Set your back foot in the left corner (if your goofy right corner if you are regular foot) of your tail. This will help you scoop the board. Then set your front foot on the upper right side (if your goofy) were it feels comfortable to flick it off to the side.
3) Since your board is fliping in a folding fashion most of the work is done with your back foot.

4) Keep your shoulders turned to see where you are sliding
5) While sliding keep you weight centered over the board.
6) When coming off the obstacle use the direction of your shoulders to turn your body and go with the flow

Heelflip: 1) Roll fast enough that you feel like you're rolling smoothly and comfortably across the ground.

3) Bend down keeping your head above your board. (Don't lean forward, just squat.)
4) Pop your ollie and jump with it but don't throw your shoulders back as you go up. Right after your tail taps the ground, kick your front foot forward with the heel in a kind of diagonal direction. Kick it out in front of you but also kick it a little toward the direction in which you are rolling. This helps to give you a flip that you can see and catch easier.
5) Don't lean back! Don't try to bail! Catch the board, push it down and land. Roll away happy

6) Decide whether you want to come out forward or to fakie, unweight your front foot and dismount accordingly. Land cleanly and roll away in the direction of prospective sponsors
K-Grind 1) To start add my personal touch which is 5 pushes faster than you normally go...
2) stay about 1 foot out from the object for spacing
3) next ollie out at an angle and land on your front truck

3) Approach the ledge or rail like you are about to do a backside 50-50.
4) A Start winding up your shoulders like you do when you do a bakside 180 and as you clear the top of the ledge or rail use the wind-up to turn about 90 degrees into the backside lipslide position.
5) Now slide! The faster you go the further you'll slide but if you are on a rail or a box you need to keep most of your weight on your backfoot to get a good slide.
6) To come out, if on a rail, you just need to turn out like any other boarslide. On a ledge or box, however, you must put pressure on your tail to "pop" off the ledge, especially if it is a ledge with no end.
