Streetplant

  • 1) First it might be a good idea to learn how to walk on your hands so your wrists will be use to having all of your weight on one of them. Another good way to pratice is to do a handstand against a wall (brick,so you wont damage the wall) and shift your weight onto one hand. Once you have mastered that, you will be ready to go foward with the rest of the trick.
  • 2) Ride foward with a little speed, plant your hand on the ground
  • 3) At the same time you do that, you want to grab the board and start taking your feet off the board front foot first.
  • 4) Boost off with your back foot and pull your board back to where you want to stall at.
  • 5) At the same time, you want to bring your feet up to your board and stall there.
  • 6) Bring body and board down at the same time.
  • 7) Ride away with a little smirk on your face.

  • 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) Set your feet to the kickflip position.
  • 3) Get ready to pop the frontside flip when the impulse strikes you. When you have reached a safe distance, unleash the nasty.
  • 4) While your board is rotating, aim your front foot to meet the nose of your board in a nosesliding position.
  • 5) By now your back foot should have also made it back onto the board. Slide as far as possible, with all your weight on the obstacle.
  • 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.
  • Heelflip

    Heelflip





  • 1) Roll fast enough that you feel like you're rolling smoothly and comfortably across the ground.
  • 2) Set up with your back foot on the tip of the tail and your front foot just behind the front truck bolts with your toes hanging off the edge of the board. Keep your body straight-- your head should be directly above the center point between your feet.
  • 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.
