10 Skateboarding Terms You Should Know

10 Skateboarding Terms You Should Know
This one is all about skate related terminology. Scoop, flick, nollie, sex change... what in the world are all these crazy words that skaters use? Hopefully I can help some new skaters to better understand these terms and more. This one is obviously aimed a bit more towards the brand new skaters!
In this one we're covering:
1. Regular vs Goofy
2. Nollie, Switch, Fakie
3. Pop
4. Flick
5. Pocket
6. Scoop
7. Sex Change
8. FS/BS Rotation
9. FS/BS Grinds
10. Skateboard Parts
Sorry if I sound weird in this one. I just got back from vacation and I think I might be a bit sick.
As always, THANK YOU all for watching and I'll see you next time! :D

Goofy has become the new regular..... weird

[@thad1773]

Goofy is named after the character goofy from Micky mouse, it is more common because most people are right foot dominant

[@james6028]

weird I always felt more comfortable pushing with my dominant foot

[@gianmarco1868]

James Yeah me too

[@tannixlide]

Papa C I right foot dominant bit I ride regular. Is that weird?

[@jacobkimmel6554]

[@scovid357]

So Basically --- Goofy - Right foot forward Regular - Left foot forward Nollie - Normal stance but standing on your nose Switch - Skating opposite of your normal stance Fakie - Rolling backwards

[@oceanman53]

nice

[@SonGoku-eh8ku]

How does one get used to doing tricks while riding? I've already learned ollies, fingerflips, and bonelesses but when I try to do them moving I get like a mental block I and I end up not doing the trick.

[@SonGoku-eh8ku]

A common problem for me too is when I Ollie while moving I end up doing that one freestyle trick that the Ollie was inspired off of. Any trick tips would be appreciated and great video!

[@thehipman2034]

I know it's cliche but the easiest way to get used to moving tricks is to practice. It might help to start moving slower than normal. The only tricks I learned standing still were Ollie and kickflip but those took me the longest to learn

[@thehipman2034]

I learned tre flip faster than I learned kickflip and I learned it movimg

[@rawwyurr]

Top Kekistani first off I suggest to any skater to learn every trick while moving because it'll be easier to do. And bro you just gotta commit and do the trick if you were doing it standing still. Or go really really slow and gradually go faster and faster. Good luck!

[@nickyd7327]

I found rolling at a curb with good speed and committing helped me get over the fear and build confidence with ollies

[@bonetone411]

Wow ok so now i know why couldnt perform a good ollie. I misinterpreted “pop” as just push down a little. I didnt understand that you had to hit the ground haha

Do another heel flip Tutorial. I'm pretty sure you might have some new tips for that trick

[@ItsWaldoOut]

_ Jaime _04 my only tip is that have pretty much 30-50% of your foot hanging off and all your doing is a Ollie but whacking the edge of the board with your heel.

[@wiwi7_]

There's no such thing as ''weird'' , just do whatever you're comfortable with .. :D

[@westpower9917]

Yeah ikr but I can't ride and do tricks at the same time and that's some kind of weird :P

Trying to skate again and I can't kick flip or heel flip anymore, I feel like I'll land a tray flip before I relearn kick flips, it just feels more natural to me Idk y.

[@lifestyleofthearts1205]

How do I know which side of the skateboard is front and back or does that not matter?????

[@Koala019]

hannah firegirl the nose is slightly wider than the tail. Its not that noticeable so it doesnt really matter.

[@nico-ww8bf]

Do this. Hold your board in front of your eyes so you see the levels of wood on the side of the board (the thin side) and look at both ends of the both the tail will be at a higher angle for more pop and higher ollies and the nose is gonna come out more straight at less of an angle for dragging your foot up on ollies your nose is usually thinnier than your tail and it doesn't really matter but if you're starting to learn ollies I recommend popping off the tail you can cut your grip tape at the front so you know which way your board is facing or you can put in different color screws so you know which way is the nose

[@ItsWaldoOut]

hannah firegirl all depends on the shapes of your board, I've seen boards with the Nose and tail the same size, But usually the Tail is a larger.

[@lifestyleofthearts1205]
