Great Skateboard Tricks From A 6 Year Old!!

Do you want to see some great skateboard tricks done by a 6 year old? I know it pains me to say it that when we are falling over on our backsides and losing our dignity, that a 6 year old can do these tricks, but it is true!

Have a look at this kid called Sebastian Kuhr who is doing some great skateboard tricks on this video at Skate Tricks

How cool is this kid?! He even comes from a cool place, Hermosa Beach in California. I mean I think that maybe beats Darwen in the wet and windy North of England where I reside hands down y`know.
Although I cant believe a Californian kid is cool enough to be into the Arctic Monkeys, which is on the soundtrack to the video. Methinks his dad might have had a hand in that one, although I am seriously impressed.

Anyways, about the video. Sebastian, or Seabass as he is known, does some great skateboard tricks on ramps, up and down steps and jumps. He performs, among others, a fakie bigspin and half cab, and a 6 stair ollie.

And joking aside it is worth watching him skate to learn some of these tricks, the positions he is in when going into the tricks, and how he executes them.
There is no doubt the younger you learn something the better it is to pick up, and also you dont seem to have any fear at a young age, at least that is what they tell me!

He obviously loves to skateboard, and competes in local skateboard contests. He can also snowboard to a high standard too.
There is nothing more to say than to say go over and watch the video of these great skateboard tricks, and maybe one day we can all be as good as him, though in my case I doubt it! The link is at Skate Tricks

Tricks On Skatebords

OK, tricks on skateboards, let us look at how to do an ollie while moving, as opposed to doing an ollie while stationary----obviously!!

So your front foot should be around about in the middle of the board, and your back foot on the tail of your board. You push off with your back foot and then put your back foot on the tail, and push down on the tail with your back foot so the front pops up, and you slide your front foot forward, wait for the skateboard to even out in the air, and then you can drop the skateboard back down. The toes of your front foot should be over the front bolts when you are doing this, so that you can control the skateboard with that front foot.

You basically control the overall movement of the board with that front foot of yours, and to do that when you are pressing down on the board with your front foot to bring the board back down, you need to bend your knee forward, and also your body slightly forward, so that your weight is bearing down on that front foot.

The more you practice the better you will get at this, just like any other tricks on skateboards. The better you get, the more momentum you can carry into the moving ollie by pushing off harder, and then you can press harder onto the tail and get a higher jump on your skateboard.

It is not much harder than a stationary ollie, but you must take a little more care with your balance. Get your technique right, make sure your stance and positioning are perfect when you attempt this, and you will find it a whole lot easier.
Tricks on skateboards are always great fun, and as the ollie is the basis for many, many tricks, if you perfect this you will be really up and running.
