Skateboard tricks are maneuvers performed on a skateboard that showcase a rider's skill and creativity. Common tricks include the ollie, where the rider leaps into the air while the board rises with them, and the kickflip, which involves flipping the board while airborne. These tricks can be performed on flat ground or while using ramps and rails. Tricks can be categorized into different types, such as grinds, where the skateboard's trucks slide along an edge, and flips, which involve rotating the board in various ways. Mastering these tricks requires practice, balance, and coordination, making skateboarding both a sport and an art form.
