Skate and Create

After you feel comfortable with cruising around, you will probably want to learn some tricks. Here are some good tricks to learn street following:

The Ollie - most skaters try to learn this trick too soon, I believe, but it is important to learn a trick!

Pop Shuvit - This is a great trick to learn along with Ollie, since it takes very different skills.

Manual - another trick differently, to help you balance the practice. And you can mix with the other hand tricks!

Rail Stands - sometimes also called Primo present, this trick is harder than it seems.

There are many more tricks you can try to cope and, like Kickflips, grinds and tricks for parks and ramps. But remember - learn at their own pace, and most importantly, have fun with him. Skate has to do with fun. Remember that above all - if you stop enjoying yourself, then slower, relax, and just go skate!
