| The Big-spin The big-spin is accomplished by doing a 360 shovit and a 180 body varial in the same direction. Follow the same technique as the shovit but spin harder. there are a few variations: nollie big-spin fakie big-spin (These can be easier) Big-spin flip This is a big-spin with a kickflip in the middle These are not to easy!!! |
| 50-50 Grind's the 50-50 can be explained as grinding on both trucks on a kerb, ledge, or bar. This is the most basic grind there is. Firstly ride towards the object at a moderate speed and ollie just over the hight of the object. try to land on the edge of the object and just let the board slide. To get of the object first try to pivot out then once you have these mastered try to ollie or 180 out. FOR THE OBJECT TO SLIDE TRY TO ADD WAX FIRST DUMBASS!!!! |
| 5-0 grind's Use the same method as the 50-50 but ONLY grind on your back truck (like a manual) Simularly, to do a Nosegrind, ONLY grind on your front truck. PLEASE DON'T TRY HANDRAILS YET! These are extremely difficult. |

| Noseslide To do a noseslide, ride up to a waxed ledge or rail at a moderate speed, then ollie, do a 90 degree spin and land on your nose like in the picture. remember to lean back slightly otherwise you will have trouble sliding. To get out, either pivot to fakie or to your normal stance, or you can be clever and shove-it or even flip out. |

| This is a crap picture but you should get the idea. |
| The Crooked Grind (K-Grind) This is a cross between the noseslide and nosegrind. You slide as if it was a nosegrind (on your truck) but point your tail off in a crooked direction. |

| Don't expect to be as good as Rodney Mullen straight away but this is the idea |
| Blunt and Nosebluntslides Ride up to a ledge or rail at a fast-ish pase then pop a 90 degree ollie and land with both wheels on the object and your board almost vertical. The same applies for noseblunts, you just do it on the nose. |
| This is a bluntslide |
