only a few tricks...
Manual/Wheelie- a manual is when you do a wheelie but pedal and pull back hard. you should come down on your feet. a wheelie is when you ride on ur back tire only. Just pull back and start pedaling. If you find the balance point, you could ride forever.
Bunnyhop- a bunnyhop is when you get off of the ground with two wheels. To do this, just lean forward and pull up. Jumping a little will help you with getting higherr. You will have to use this for a lot of your tricks
feeble grind- a feeble grind is when you grind with the back peg. When you do this, you endo onto it. when you endo, push the bike towards the rail with your feet.
double peg grind- Its just as it sounds, a grind with both pegs. Just bunnyhop towards the rail and when you get on the rail, put all your weight on the side your grinding on.
Tailwhip- When doing a tailwhip, ride pretty slow, but not too slow. take ur foot from the oppisite side of the bike in which ur doing this with, and jam it inbetween the fork of the front tire. When the bike rises, kick it around with the foot on the pedal. when the end of the bike gets back to you, bring it down with your foot thats not in the fork. when its down, put your feet on the pedals and ride off.

Tricks

Ollie- You will need this trick for mostly all of your tricks. Keep your back foot on the end and the front foot between the middle of the board and the screws. Kick the tail of the board and immediantly slide your other foot towards the end of the board. Land with bent knees
Manual- All you need to do is lean back and stay on the back truck. its not that hard if you have good balance.
Pop-shove it- for a pop shuv it, put your feet in ollie position. When you ollie, push the board around. if you find that you can get it around but cant land, jump forward a little.
kickflip- put your feet in ollie position but move your front foot towards the side so that only the balls of your feet are on the board. When you ollie, kick your foot out. You should be able to watch the board spin beneath you. When you see the griptape, catch it with your feet.
old school kick flip- to do this, put your backfoot under the board under your front foot, and jump pulling your feet up. you will have to jump foward a little.
Heelflip- its the oppisite of a kickflip. when u do a heelflip, put the balls of your feet hanging off the board. ollie and slide your foot towards the corner of the board like a kickflip. watch it spin beneath you and when u see the griptape, catch it with your feet and land with bended knees.
50-50 grind- When you do a 50-50 grind, just ollie and land on the curb, grind rail, etc. with both trucks. to get off just push down on the tail of the board and pull the front off. You probably wont be able to get that far on a curb though.
5-0 grind- this is just a backtruck grind. when you do this, just ollie and move your truck to the curb or whatever your grinding on and stay on it. when you want to get off, just put the nose down and move the board back.
nose grind- this is a grind with the front truck. to do this, just manual onto the curb and keep the tail in the air. when your done, ollie off.
360 pop shuv it- this is just like the regular pop shuv it but going around 360�. do a pop shuv it but put more force into swinging it around. Watch it spin beneath you. Land with bended knees.
nose slide- To do this, just ollie onto whatever ur sliding on at an angle. Put most of your weight on the nose. If ur just begining to do this, practice ollieing onto an object and landing on the nose and staying on it.
boardslide- This is just like it sounds. go at whatever ur trying to boardslide on and ollie. Turn the board 90� and land on the middle of the board. Dont worry about it breaking. to get off, slide to the end and turn the board back 90�.
