Skateboarding Tricks

I think the only way to get better is to push yourself by trying new things. Sometimes when I skate, I don't really know what tricks to try next. I'll think of something, or see someone doing a trick, but when I try it it turns out to be way harder than I was expecting. Or I'm just doing it wrong... The result is that I don't always have the next bunch of tricks to work on to keep me progressing.

With that in mind, I'm going to list the tricks that I can do now, on a mini ramp. Some of these tricks are consistent for me, others are less so, and some, I'll probably get the names wrong:

• Drop in
• Drop in, switch
• Rock to fakie
• Rock to fakie, switch (is that a fakie rock, or something?)
• Tail stall
• Rock and roll (Backside? I can do it the easy way)
• Axel stall
• Backside 50-50
• Frontside 50-50 (but not very consistently, yet)
• 5-0 (but not very good)
• Frontside ollie (do they call that frontside 180?)
• Spine transfer from tail stall (not sure if that is a trick...)
• Fakie axel stall (probably not called that: going fakie, turn off front foot into a stall, facing into the ramp)
• Fakie axel stall, the other way (but I don't often get it)
• 180 kick turn to rock and roll, from fakie (probably not called that)
• Frontside early grab, indy
• Early grab out of tail stall (is that lame?)

And this is what I'm working on next:

• Nose stall. It follows from dropping in switch.
• Backside ollie. Because it looks better than frontside.
• Feeble stall and/or crooked stall. They seem like close variations on the axel stall.
• Frontside 5-0. Nice movement around a ramp/bowl, and doesn't seem like it will be much harder than frontside 50-50.
• Blunt rocks. Not sure why...
