Flip tricks

Flip tricks

A flip trick is a type of skateboarding trick in which the skateboard flips in a particular way. In many tricks, the skateboard flips upside down and/or end over end. The most common and well known flip trick is the kickflip, invented by Rodney Mullen. Flip tricks can be executed by 'popping' the boards nose or tail, or by using the foot to lift the board up from underneath (underflip). Basic flip tricks are performed by popping the board with one foot, and using the other foot to flip the raised end. Less common flip variations can be achieved popping the board in an unusual way, where the pop itself makes the board flip. These include pressure flips and toes flips which were more popular in early skateboarding. Flip tricks are usually performed while the skateboarder is rolling, although they may be performed while stationary.

Most tricks have specific names in the system of skateboarding flip tricks. The basic tricks are the kickflip, heelflip, Frontside/Backside 180, and pop shove-it. Though most of the simple combinations have names, such as varial kickflip, hardflip, inward heelflip, varial heelflip, most can be described by using rotation math and the basic name (e.g. frontside 360 heelflip, 360 kickflip). Skateboarding terminology is a sort of 'jargon' as many terms in skateboarding can be used to refer to more than one trick. For example, a "360 kickflip" could mean a 360 pop shove-it with a kickflip, or a "kickflip 360" could mean a 360 body-and-board rotation with a kickflip.

General Terms

Deck
The wooden piece of the skateboard. Quality skateboards are normally made out of 7 plies of maple which are laminated/glue together under heavy pressure.
Griptape
The sandpaper like paper that is placed on top of the deck. Can be colored and/or display a graphic. This is what allows the riders feet to "grip" the deck.
Trucks
Metal 'axles' that attach the deck to the wheels. commonly used to grind on (i.e 50-50 grind)
Bearings
Two "rings" of metal, one small, one bigger with 8 metal balls between them. "Normal" bearings have metal balls however, you can also get bearings with ceramic balls. These are much more expensive, however, the ceramic balls are extremely hard and does not ever "bend out of shape" and thus, the ceramic bearings usually lasts 10 or more times longer. Most active street skaters will blow out metal ball bearings 2-3 times a year however, a set of ceramic bearings often last at least 3 years. There are many recorded cases of ceramic bearings lasting much longer than 5 years.
Frontside
For regular footers, this is a counterclockwise spin. It is the opposite for goofy footers. However, it reverses when riding switch.
Backside
For regular footers, this is a clockwise spin. It is the opposite for goofy footers. However, it reverses when riding switch.
Nollie
For regular footed skaters, their left foot is on the nose and their right foot is in the middle and for goofy footed skaters, their right foot is on the nose and their left foot is in the middle.
Fakie
A stance where the rider is riding backwards in his switch stance.
Switch
A stance opposite of your normal stance(Regular skaters switch stance is goofy and goofy vice versa)
Toeside Edge
Toeside Edge is the edge of the skateboard where the riders toe is on the edge.
Heelside Edge
Heelside Edge is the edge of the skateboard where the riders heel is on the edge.
Gazelle
Gazelle is a 540 shuvit with a 360 body varial(going the same way where the board spins) This is a very advanced trick and you may choose to learn it later on if you want.
Grinds
Grinds are done by making contact with an object using either or both trucks, and moving along the object 'grinding' across, up, down it etc. Generally no other part of the skateboard should be in contact with said object for it to be a perfect grind. Not to be confused with slides which use the deck (wood) of the skateboard. The most basic grinds include 50-50 (fifty fifty), 5-0 (five O), and nosegrinds. Many difficult variations can be stringed into the grind. (For example, kickflip 50-50, 5-0 360 flip out, or Nollie nosegrind)
Slides
Slides are done by making contact with an object using any part of the deck (wood) of the skateboard, including the griptape, and moving along the object 'sliding' across, up, down it etc. Basic slides include the boardslide, noseslide, and tailslide. Tricks can be performed 'into' slides to add difficulty and link tricks together.(For example, Nollie boardslide, or Heelflip noseslide)
Grabs
Grabs are a skateboarding trick usually done out of bowls/ramps. Grabs are much easier to be done out of ramps because you have a lot of airtime to do so, but it can be done by an initial flatground ollie.
180
A 180° rotation or a half rotation
360
A 360° rotation or a full rotation
540
A 540° rotation or one and a half rotations
720
A 720° rotation or two full rotations
900
A 900º rotation or two and a half rotations
Railstand/ Primo
A stance where the board is popped up on its edge. The rider usually balances their weight on the trucks. This is also commonly referred to as "primo."

List of flip tricks

Frontside/Backside Ollie 180
An ollie in which both the skater and the skateboard rotate 180 degrees either frontside or backside. If the skater spins some other multiple of 180 degrees (e.g. 360, 540), the trick is named accordingly.
Half-Cab
A fakie (Going in the opposite direction) backside/frontside 180 ollie.
Full Cab / Caballerial 
A fakie backside/frontside 360 ollie. Invented by Steve Caballero.
Nollie Cab / Helipop
Backside/Frontside 360 nollie. Invented by Rodney Mullen.


Kickflip
When a skateboarder flicks off the corner of his nose of the board, if the skater rides regular with his/her left foot first he/she kicks to the left and vice versa for goofy footed skaters. Invented By Rodney Mullen.
Old-School Kickflip
This was the first version of the Kickflip. The rider hooks one foot under the board while rolling and jumps up to create the flipping motion.
Heelflip
Similar to the kickflip, only the board spins toe-side (towards the toes). For a regular skater (left foot in front) the board spins clockwise from a perspective behind the skater. Again, there is a kick as part of the ollie, but unlike the kickflip it is directed forward and outwards away from the rider's toe side (diagonal), so that the last part of the foot to leave the board is the heel, hence the name.[1] Instances of multiple spins are named according to how many spins are completed (e.g. double heelflip, triple heelflip, etc.).
Fakie Kickflip


Kickflip while riding in fakie.
Fakie Heelflip
Heelflip while riding in fakie.
Back Foot Kickflip

Frontside 360 Pop Shove-it / Frontside 360 Shove-it
Popping the tail and shoving the tail in front of you so the board rotates Frontside 360 degrees under your feet.
Impossible
Where the board completes one rotation by rolling around the skater's back foot, in much the same manner as spinning a baton with one's hand. It is considered good style to make the board flip as vertical as possible. If the board spins laterally or comes off the back foot, it tends to end up looking more like a 360 pop shove-it. This trick can also be done with the front foot. That is called a "front foot impossible". This trick was invented by Rodney Mullen. He shared the idea of this trick with some of his older friends who told him it would be impossible, hence the name.[2]
