Freestyle Skateboarding Tricks
A freestyle skateboarding trick is a trick done on a skateboard while freestyle skateboarding. Some of these tricks are done in a stationary position, unlike many other skateboarding tricks. The keys to a good freestyle contest run are variety, difficulty, fluidity, and creativity. It should also be noted that this is a partial list, and a full list would never be possible, because new tricks and new combinations are always being created.
Notes:
- "fakie" means "riding backward"
- "nose of the board" means "the part of the board that is usually in the riding direction"

- "pivot" means "kickturn", or "spin", or "turn the board horizontally"
- "tailstop" means "standing stationary with the tail of the board on the ground"
- "frontside" means "facing to the outside of the turn"

Famous quotes containing the word tricks:
“Let the new faces play what tricks they will
In the old rooms; night can outbalance day,
Our shadows rove the garden gravel still,
The living seem more shadowy than they.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
