The sport of skateboarding has an extensive bag of tricks. Discover the complete list of skateboard tricks and maneuvers.
The skateboard trick list can be broken down into basic tricks, flip and shove-it tricks, grind and slide tricks, air, pool, ramp and grab tricks, footplant tricks, balance tricks, and miscellaneous old/new-school tricks.
You'll find basic/beginner tricks, intermediate maneuvers, and advanced/professional moves in each of these main categories.
They have been designed, created, and improved since the early days and required creativity and long trial-and-error processes before spreading throughout the skateboarding community.
Some of them can be considered old-school tricks; others are new-school maneuvers. But only a few of them are timeless moves that truly represent the foundations of skateboarding.
The following trick list challenges you to try, practice, and land each one of them - that's what becoming a good skateboarder is all about.
Their names and designations may vary slightly from country to country.
