180 No Comply
1. Approach whatever you're trying to go up or down.
2. Right before the trick goes down, take your front foot off and put it on the ground beside you.
3. As soon as your front foot is on the ground, bash the tail - this will cause the whole board to go in the air.
4. When it's in the air, guide your board with your back foot. You can steer it into a shove-it or whatever, but here you're going to steer it 180. The most important factor when doing this trick is to do it all at the same time.
5. So when the board's in the air, steer it 180 degrees with the back foot. Just before the board hits the ground, push off with your front foot and jump onto the board trying to fly away.
6. Land and roll away.
The Manual
1. Go as fast as you can toward the obstacle that you're going to do the manual on.
2. Adjust your feet the way you want. I like my front foot in the middle of my board and my back foot on the very tip of the tail.
3. Ollie up, and land on the back wheels.
4. Once you're up there, rest the majority of your weight on your back foot; this will help you get more balance.
5. Ride it out, then drop off.
6. Destroy as much property as you can. We don't have much time.
Frontside Flip
1. First learn frontside 180 ollies and be able to catch and land your kickflips without any problems.
2. Approach the hip, gap, bump (or anything else) in a kickflip position.
3. As you snap the tail into an ollie, turn those shoulders frontside and flip the board.
4. Stop the rotation, and catch the board with your feet.
5. Stick the landing clean, and roll away.
Frontside 5-O
1. Hopefully you have frontside kickturn skills.
2. Carve into this trick! If you try to turn into it at the last second, you'll go home limping.
3. Start putting more weight over your back truck and lift up your front wheels.
4. When you start grinding, you need to balance yourself with half your weight on top and half leaning into the ramp.
5. Get your grind face on. Some people have a mean grind face, while others look calm.
6. Still grinding?
7. Start leaning back into the ramp.
8. Begin pushing your front wheels down.
9. Once you've put those wheels down, lean forward and get your weight over your board.
Frontside Pop Shove-It
1. First learn frontside 180 ollies. Why should I learn frontside 180s first? Because it's almost the same pop, but with more of a scoop.
2. Ollie, and with your back foot, give a forward push. It's almost like your back foot is starting to do a frontside 180, then, at the last moment, it goes back on its word. Don't throw it too far forward, though, or else it will go 360 degrees.
3. Watch the board rotate under you 180 degrees.
4. Try to catch your board in the air.
