Ground Tricks
Show the world you can be slick without even catching air. Check out some ground tricks and start tearing up the pavement.
Switching
In this move your back foot becomes your front foot. It's the foundation for many other ground tricks.
Shuffling
When you shuffle, you switch your lead foot to your back foot a few times, real fast. It's the foundation for a bunch of other cool ground tricks.
Skating Backwards
As you might guess, this is when you move backwards rather than forwards. Also known as "Skating Reverse."
Propulsion Switch
You rock this move when you generate forward momentum by switching feet and pushing the edges of your wheels out during the switch.
Fish Tail
To fish-tail, keep one foot level and the lead foot's toe raised. Generate forward momentum by moving your feet in a curved side-to-side motion without lifting either foot.
180
Bust the 180 by spinning on your wheels only. You start heeling forwards and end up heeling backwards.
Revert
The revert is a spin on the wheels only. You begin to skate backwards and end up heeling forwards.
Toe Jam
Bust a toe jam while skating by planting your back toe to stop forward momentum. Keep your lead wheel moving and use your planted foot to redirect your path.
Crabwalk
This is when your feet are positioned so that they face out while skating sideways. Your knees are bent.
Pipeline
This is when your feet are positioned so that they face out while skating sideways. Your knees are straight.
Powerslide
Bust a power slide by skating forward and doing a 180. Once you land the 180, drop your toes so that the soles of your shoes drag and eventually you stop.
360
This is a spin you rock on the wheels only. You spin completely so that you continue moving in the direction you were going when you entered the spin.
Manual
You pull a manual by moving with only one foot on the ground. Only your wheel should be touching. This is also known as a "Footy" or a"Uni."
Sonic Stop
This is a method of stopping when you're going forward. Both your feet are together and you engage both of the soft brakes simultaneously.
Manual Heel Stop
This is a method of stopping when yr going forward on only one foot. Angle your skating shoe backwards so that the soft brake hits the ground and you stop.
Weaving
Weaving is a move you perform using any of the ground tricks in which you manuever between obstacles.
Psycho
This is when you bust 4 or more 360 spins.
Can-Opener
You're doing a can-opener when you're busting a Footy 360 into either the pipeline or crabwalk.
Reverse Manual
This is when you perform a manual going backwards. Also known as a "reverse footy."
Footy 360
You rock a footy 360 when you do a 360 on only one wheel.
AOD
A move where you skate forward with both feet together and your arms out to the side forming a "T."
