Today's trick tip is the frontside kick turn on a ramp. It's a good basic trick that will help you build confidence and get speed on transition. When you’re learning this turn on a bank, or in a ramp, it really is all in the shoulders and head to get the turn. Lead with your eyes and arms and the lower body (and skateboard) will follow

t’s Thursday which means another tutorial for you. This week, it’s the ledge basic - Frontside 5-0 Grinds.

I absolutely love this trick and I think you will to. I’ve gone into a heap of detail about this one, breaking the trick down into 4 stages and also showing 3 different ways to do the trick.

Enjoy!

Start progressing your switch skating with the Frontside 5050 Grind

Skating switch is one of the many joys of skateboarding. Some tricks actually feel better switch than they will in your natural stance. So if you’ve been working on your switch skating, getting your switch ollies consistent, it might be time for you to take the next step.

Here is my tutorial for Switch Frontside fifty fifty grinds.

Below is a tutorial for another one of the first ledge tricks you will want to learn, the Backside 5050. It’s the basis of so many other tricks, and it’s easy to learn. If you can ollie whilst moving, you can learn this trick. Some people will find the frontside 5050 easier to learn, others the backside 5050, so I’ve included the f/s 5050 tutorial in here for you too!

Enjoy, and Good Luck!
