1) Push at a comfortable speed, remember the faster you go the better the pop. \n2) Place your front foot near the middle of your board, about two inches under your bolts. Put your back foot on the rear of the skate board. \n3) Squat, so you can spring yourself up. \n4) Kick your back foot down so you can pop as you jump up, your front foot should rub upward on your griptape (rough part). \n5) 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. \n6) 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 \n7) Finally bend your legs as you touch down to give it that smooth style and roll away stocked.

If you're practicing someplace where you can put a piece of tape on the floor, put an X where you want your first foot to land.  As you start are in the handstand position, begin watching the X and watch your foot land on it.  You can also do the samething to land your round-offs.

With a skateboard! :P\n\nActually, you'll need lots of practise and a good sense of balance. If you ahve any friends with a skateboard, you shoudl ask if you can borrow it, and get some help. It'll take awhile to get the hang of it. You'll fall and get mad, so be careful, but if you stick with it you'll be fine.\n\n\nAnyways, to start you have your one foot on the board (around the middle or so) then use the other leg to pull yourself forward. It's ahrd to explain. Wacth some videos and stuff and you shoudl be able to get the basics of it.

When i was little and got my first skateboard for christmas, i could not stand up and push so i would get on my knees and push around and steer.  I don't think you need to do this.\n\nI would find a parking lot that maybe has some minor hills and just start to experiment.  You need to figure out what feels comfortable to you, are you regular or goofy footed?  Do you like your foot towards the front of the skateboard or to the back? (you have more control if you place your foot toward the front).\n\nAlso try to tick tac, thats when you push on the tail and bring the front of the board to the left and right.  This can help you gain momentum and is a good way to learn control.  Remember that girls have a lower center of balance so use this to your advantage and bend your knees and try to feel the contour of the board and the concrete.  Don't fight the board and be patient.\n\nSlowly learn the basics until you feel comfortable enough to go fast and ollie.\n\nYou might ask a friend of yours that skates to show you some stuff, its easier if someone is there to guide you through this learning stage.\n\nIf you fall you must not give up...

Do it from the toe, twist hips slightly, and place heels down. You have to do both feet at the same time, some find it easier with a slight jump others find it easier to start out with one foot as though when skating forward.

Hey banannas a kick flip is a basic okay. Its already a regular flip. Okay dude start by riding at a slow steady and comfortable speed. Put ur back foot on the end on the curve and ur front foot in the middle of the board. Push ur back foot down and drag ur front foot all the way up the board but drag it at n angle towards u. Hope I helped thanx!!!! (6)

STEP 1: Stand on the board with your rear foot placed on the tail and your front foot between the middle of your board and the front bolts.\nSTEP 2: Place the ball of your rear foot in the middle of the board so that when you push the tail down, the ball of your foot feels the pressure.\nSTEP 3: Place your front foot nearly straight across the board.\nSTEP 4: Practice pushing down as fast as you can with your back foot and putting all your weight on the tail. This is the initial motion of the trick.\nSTEP 5: Notice that the harder you push, the more your board wants to keep going up once the tail is on the ground. You will use that motion in the next step.\n\nSTEP 6: Strike the tail on the ground and jump off with your rear foot as you slide your front foot up the board (so your knee moves toward your chest).\n\nSTEP 7: Drag the side of your foot up the board as you are jumping. This will cause the board to come up with your jump. Once both feet are in the air, the board will seem to stick to them.\nSTEP 8: Come back down.\nTips & Warnings\n\nLearn this trick without rolling at first to get comfortable with the motions. Once you feel comfortable with the basics, you will be able to adapt to moving and going up or down things.\nThe hardest part is the timing of when to push down on the tail, when to jump, and how quickly to suck up your legs. The secret: It's all done at the same time. The faster you do it, the easier it becomes. Think about jumping off with one foot and sucking your legs up to your chest.\nSkateboarding is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or death. We recommend that you seek proper training and equipment before attempting this activity.

to Kickflip on a Skateboard\nStep-By-Step\n\nFrom Steve Cave,\nYour Guide to Skateboarding.\nFREE Newsletter.

Lots of Music.\nwww.SpencersOnline.com\nKickflips are tricky tricks, and there are plenty of potential problems you can run into. Here's some common problems:\n\nCredit Carding\nThis is where the board flips vertically, and hits you in the groin. That might happen, and it hurts a lot. Just lay on the ground and moan for a while, get up and walk around, and try again. Try to keep the board spinning only on the vertical axis (nose to tail). \nPartial Flip\nWhen you kickflip, the skateboard doesn't flip all the way over. That's all right - focus on landing with both feet, even if your board is upside down. Next time try to flick the board harder. Make sure you are flipping off of the edge of the nose. Flick the skateboard out and down, not just down. Otherwise, your foot will keep the skateboard from spinning.\n\nChickenfoot\nThis is where you pop up into the air, but when you land, for some reason one of your feet always seems to land on the ground. The most common reason for this is that you don’t feel safe, and you are pulling one foot out to catch yourself. You might not even be aware of it. Try to be aware that you are catching yourself, and just stop doing it. If that doesn't work, then you can see which foot stays on the board, and next time focus on keeping that foot on and let the other foot come off. Then, try both.\nVisit the skate forum for more advice.\n\nKickflip Setup\nStep 2 - Stance\nStep 3 - The Pop\nStep 4 - The Flick\nStep 5 - The Nose\nStep 6 - Get Out of the Way\nStep 7 - Stay Level During Flip\nStep 8 - Catch the Skateboard\nStep 9 - Land and Roll Away\nStep 10 - Troubleshooting

Basically you use your edge. Try standing flat on your snowboard, now lift your toes a little so that the heel side edge digs into the snow, point your nose down the slope, and you should start sliding downhill. Adjust the angle at which you point your nose to make wider turns. \n\nIf you ride goofy you would do the same but with your heels lifted so your on your toes, riding the toeside edge. \n\nNow I'll tell you how to actually turn. Lol.\n\nYour going down the slope, hopefully the bunny slope at this stage. You want to stop so you ride your edge and gently point your nose so that its sideways, or so that you are facing the bottom of the mountian. This is a J turn, you basically make a J shape when you turn. \n\nNext are C turns, they are basically a J turn, but instead of stopping, you ride your opposite edge into another turn in the opposite direction of which you started. So if you ride normal, you would ride your heel side edge down, then start turning to your left hand side, and shift your pressure from heelside to toeside. Again this turn looks like a C. \n\nI fell a LOT when I first started, but some hardcore practice helped a lot. Try the bunny hills first, they might be lame, but you can really hurt yourself if you gain speed and cant stop on the slopes. For example, I almost broke my wrists, elbows, and shoulders because I kept skidding when I wiped out. \n\nGood luck though, and have fun!

You have to be really patient, because it takes months to even learn the basic tricks well.  Basically, one of the easiest tricks is the "manual," where you tilt the front part of the board up while you skate (you could also do it with the back part of the board).  You can use a manual to turn around while skating.  Also you can do a trick (I think it's called "a pop-shove-it") where you basically spin the board 180 degrees from under you without your body actually moving in a different direction.  One more trick is the "ollie," which is basically a jump trick.  It's complex to explain, but you basically slam the back of the board down and shift the front foot forward while you raise your back foot and move that foot forward as well.\n\nBasically, if you're completely new at skateboarding, try skating around, increasing your speed, turning, and generally balancing well before you try any tricks.  These tricks should be started when you're still (i.e. not moving forward) and gradually you should be able to do them while moving slowly.\n\nTry http://www.skateboard.com/ for some trick tips and videos.

the best way to learn to ollie is in the grass... if you can ollie in the grass you'll be able to do it on flat ground.  \n\nas for stance, you always want to bend your knees like crazy before you do any tricks.\n\nit does get frustrating but keep at it.\n\npractice practice practice.\n\nalso, dont be afraid to fall.... (all good skaters know how to take a fall, DO NOT try to stop yourself, try to roll with the fall, you'll cause less injury.\n\ngood luck!
