Grabs
Tail Grab - (a) Ollie or go off some sort of vert or ramp (b) Grip the tail with your thumb (c) Let go before you hit the ground.

Nose Grab - Same as Tail Grab but grab the nose of the board with your thumb.

Board Grab - (a) Same as above but grab anywhere between the trucks with your thumb. (b) Make sure your thumb is on the bottom of the board.

Japan Air - This can be done on a ramp, vert, or an ollie. Once in the air, push your "feet" towards you so that the trucks are facing upwards with your "feet" bent in a U shape with the board on top of them. Then place your thumb on the side of the bottom of the board (the side with the trucks). Pull your fingers away from you and let the board turn over. Then land it.

Rocket Air - This is done on a vert or launch. (a) Approach the lip at a moderate speed and once you are in the air (b) Place your thumb and forefinger on the top and bottom of the nose, w/ your index and middle fingers on the board.

Darkside - (a) Do a kickflip half way (b) Grab the grip tape side of the board with your thumb (c) Let go and spin the rest of the way.

D Grab - (a) Do an Ollie (b) Grab the top and bottom edges of the board with your thumb and pointer finger.

Nollie D - Do a nollie and then do a D Grab.

Super Man - (a) Ollie (b) Grab the board on the edges in the middle (c) Extend it away from you and bring your to "Legs" (Other fingers) towards you. (d) Make sure you let go of the board before you land.

Foot Stomp - Stick your pointer finger under the board and put your middle directly above it. Squeeze this fingers together enough so you can lift up the board. Lift up the board and tap you pinky on the surface then land it

Hand plant - You usually do this on some sort of ramp. Do the same beginning to the foot stomp except instead of doing the foot part go off the ramp and press into the ramp with your thumb. You can then rotate and go back down the ramp

Mute - Thumb is on the top of the board and your pointer is on the bottom

Method - Pointer is on top and thumb is on bottom

Indy Grab - Thumb is on top and middle (normal) or ring (goofy) so the graphics should be facing out in front of you

Airwalk - This is a hard trick to control because the board may fall but its pretty easy after that. Ok here it is. This trick is you good when jumping over "stairs" or ramps. Do a high ollie going forward and slide your finger tips to where the heel would be on a skateboard so your fingertips are just nearly resting on the edge of the board. Then just when you are about to approach the ground slide your fingers back into place and land

Early Grab - This is a kind of stupid trick but it is a real skateboard trick so it is on this website. Before you are about to jump, grab the board in any way while still on the ground. (I recommend doing a type of "scissors grab" as used in the foot plant of course you must be skating goofy to do it this way but try it out anyway you like) anyway once you have a grab going push down with your middle (normal) or ring (goofy) and catch some air. While in the air, return your fingers to their right positions.

Christ Air - What you do is get a lot of air and slap the front of the board with your pointer finger. When the front flies down, pinch the back with your ring and middle fingers representing the holding out action seen being executed by Rune Glifberg in Tony Hawk's Pro skater. Then Put your pointer finger back on the front and flatten it out before finishing.

Judo air - Do a method but put one finger out.

Scissors grab - In the air make a pair of scissors by grabbing the board between your fingers. The board should be up and down not horizontal.

Sacktap - Like the scissors grab only you touch the wheels in the back while holding the board outward. This trick is from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
