BOARD BASICS Before you pull off sweet stunts, you need to know all the parts of the board and the standard position! Your index finger goes on the centre of the board, and your middle finger sits on the centre of the tail. Push off with your middle finger, hop back on the board to roll, then lean into the turns as you skate! Also, catch the board while it’s in the air (not when it hits the ground), and find a flat surface to skate on! BEGINNER TRICKS MANUAL/MANNY This move is where you cruise and then pop the board up on two wheels. A regular Manny uses the back wheels; front two is a ‘Nose Manny’. Manuals are great to start, then add on tricks! OLLIE Start in…
