Nollie
1. In order to learn this trick, you must feel confident with your ollies, because the nollie requires exactly the same concepts.
2. To begin, place your front foot comfortably on the nose and your back foot across the middle of the board.
3. Push down on the nose to get the pop: the harder you push, the higher you go. Now your back foot helps the board come off the ground by sliding up the board. What helped me was learning switch ollies while I was learning nollies.
4. When you feel like you've reached maximum flight, your board should have leveled out flat.
5. Now wait until you hit the ground, and like everybody says, roll away smoothly.
Note: If you're trying this trick over an object, you must start to nollie a little bit sooner so the nose can clear it.

360 Flip
1. Place your back foot on the tip of tail to get the best pop.
2. Pop your back foot down and out for the best rotation.
3. Guide the board up with your front foot-use a kickflip motion.
4. Let your board rotate between your legs.
5. Keep your feet in line with your shoulders.
6. Catch, then take the impact with your knees and ride away.

Nosebluntslide
1. First off all, find an obstacle that slides. Waxing may be beneficial to this purpose.
2. Second, get comfortable with frontside 180s, and regular ollies.
3. Approach the block at a slight angle, then ollie to a 90-degree angle, sticking your nose into a noseblunt-slide position.
4. Keep most of (but not all) your body weight on the nose.
5. Make sure that your body stays facing forward.
6. At the end of the block, give your nose a little nollie-come out forward or fakie.
7. Roll away!
Nosegrind
1. This trick is basicly a nose-manual grind, so it helps if you can do nose manuals.
2. You need speed for this.
3. As you approach the ledge at a slight angle, ollie and land on your front trucks, as if you were doing a nose manual.
4. Grind, and nollie off.
5. Practice on ledges that have ends, so you can get better at comming off.
6. When you get good, you can add variations, such as kickflip into nosegrind, or heelflip out, or whatever.

Ollie
1. Put your rear foot on the tail of your board and your front foot in the middle.
2. Pop down on your tail with your rear foot and slide your front foot up to the nose of your board.
3. When you pop the tail you should kind of jump as you slide your front foot.
5. Your board should be horizontal in the air.
6. Land straight!
