OK, so I'm in China and the people I know see me fingerboarding and see that I'm good but they want to have a try. It's been a while since I was a beginner so can you suggest a few things that are easy for beginners to do?

Way back in the day, I taught a girl to pressure flip straight away and also pressure kickflip (it was how I did kickflips back then).

Recently, I assembled a reasonably decent fingerboard for a girl. She now has shove its, 360 shoves, caspers and is working on pressure flips. Now, I realise Tech Deck seem to have tested their recent products with beginners since the same girl prefers the TD Expert Sk8 out of most of the boards she's tried. She's also able to do a few different grinds on the box/rail thing that TD sent me.

I also have a couple of skater friends that I hang out with who like trying out my fingerboards. Again, they can only do things like shove its and manuals. I'll be giving them my spare new Close Up G4 completes as gifts once they arrive from the UK.

Give me some good tricks that you were able to learn easily or able to teach easily.

I learn't tre flip before kick flips tbh its an easy trick also impossible is quite easy but people may think its hard because of the name :/

stage 1
best to learn is high ollie ,
than kickflip ,
than 360 flip ,
than back imposible ,( easy and it makes u get higher ollie , so its good to practice it on begining )
than u should make em learn to do grinds , simple grinds , no need fot flip into or flip out , yust grinds , and flip from kicker , becouse on begining its hard to flip from kicker.


stage 2
fakie kickflip
fakie varial flip
hardflip
pop shove it on a rail or a grind on any obstacle ( it makes grinding easyer later )

stage 3
Front imposible ( its hard if u dont have proper ollie)
flip on rail
flip out from any obstacle ( ofc u must be in grind - flipout)

stage 4
heelflip
varial heel
laser flip
360 flip in on grind or on high obstacle .


i hope u like my sugestion , and im sorry for bad spelling ... (:

the ollie? opens up soo much.. then I guess kickflips from there, they don't take tooo long to get. and fakie stuff, that's always easy

Yea deff the ollie.
opens up every trick in the book. Tell them to practice high ollies on the side of walls. It helps a lot when learning!

Ollies are pretty hard so I didn't push it to begin with... although I showed her just now and she is getting them o.o

They barely go off the surface but the technique is all right, it's popped at the back and fingers are dragged across the board. I'm just surprised this girl actually is interested in it, maybe she is just interested in me. No idea.

shuv its are the easiset trick to learn. You dont have to pop the deck so thats easy.

Honsetly kickflips are the hardest to learn

i still find the difficult.

Lol i thought this thread was a skate thread.

shuv, ollie, kickflip and tech deck is the best for beginners.

I think this thread is about skateboard tricks

I think you are spot on. Shuvits and pressure flips are the best tricks for beginners to get used to the feel of the board. The ollie is both easy and hard at the same time. That would probably be the next step in the process. It's much easier to control the ollie for a beginner when you have an object they have to jump onto, like a thin book or magazine.

Ollie, then start on shuvs and kickflips. Front finger impossibles I find easier than Back ones.
Maybe work on fakie fs/bs flips.

Tres and kickflips. Imo.

Depends on the approach imo if you want to take a serious approach and really get good and film video or just have a good foundation that it seems best to take the time to learn ollies but if your just doing it as a small little pastime going no further than techdecks seems fine to just learn what ever look cool which theres nothing wrong with

Shuvs,Ollie,then I did tres b4 kickflips,although they were alittle ninja style back in those first days if u know what i mean

try to shuvit's , ollie then flips etc.
