skate punk

Okay, it would really help if you can fakie ollie already (obviously). And if you can do a regular 180, it helps a ton, but it's not required. A lot of people find half-cabs easier than regular 180's, but I think these look a lot cooler.

A Half cab is just a 180, but in fakie position. It is a half cabalerial (which is a 360 in fakie position).

Start with your feet in a fakie ollie position, but some people like to leave their heel hanging off a tad, and others like to slant their feet a little. It really depends on preference.

Now, before you pop your ollie, start to spin your shoulders and upper body. When your body is about to hit 90 degrees, pop the ollie, and your feet will follow around with your shoulders.

Around this point people usually can't keep with their board. They let their back foot come off of it, but not you, your going to stay with the board and land it first try, right? Wrong. If you land it first try, then good for you. But if you can't then it's normal, and go back and try it again. Stay with that board.

I've noticed that trick tips on a website don't help as much as an actual person beside you walking you through it does, so try to get one of your friends who knows what he's talking about to help you. This trick is quite easy, it's all in the shoulders.

To do a bomb drop finger flip you have to be able to do bomb drops pretty well.
1.You grab the board whith your front hand where you want.
2.Here's the hardest part of the trick: jump up and flip the board with your hand, while shoving the board under your feet.
3.Now land on the bolts and be proud of yourself

You can do them of objects too

You need two skateboards to do this move.

Before you drop in make sure the other board is in the middle of the half-pipe

1. On one of the boards drop in off a half-pipe (2-4 ft.)

> 2. When you start to get close to the other board jump onto it and ride the half-pipe like you would.

3. And thats it!

!!!This may take more than one try to land.

Rock and roll is the most easy lip trick. It can be performed on a halfpipe, quarterpipe and some other stuff.... be creative! I'm going to explain this trick for a halfpipe.

Drop in (or pump to the top of the ramp). Just make sure you have enough of speed.

Just start in the ollie position , maybe you could put your front foot a little more towards the nose.

Ok, you're riding on the pipe. Ride to the top.

Lean forward so your board touches the edge like you're doing a boardslide on it.

Now lean back again. Put your weight on the tail of your board.

Ride back fakie or kickturn and ride back down the ramp.



Important: This trick can be really cool if done right! Most of the people just put their front trucks over the edge for a little while and think they're cool. Don' be a wuss like them!
Variations: Approach the ramp in fakie position. Then put your back trucks over the edge (far enough!) and lean forward to come back down.

1foot ollie:
A 1foot ollie is when you ollie and your front foot slips over the nose ,so your foot is off...most of you might know this trick as a ollie north..but its original name is 1foot ollie..

To do this you have to be able to ollie, it doesn't matter how high you ollie ,you only need some hard pop-power.
1. Ride at any speed you like.
2. Stand like an ollie but with your front foot halfway on the screws.
3. Put your entire body weight on top of the tail truck.
4. Do an ollie but now kick your front foot over the nose... look at your board and land like an ollie.

Nothing:

A nothing air is when you do a no footed ollie.
You have to be able to do a 1foot ollie.

1. Do a 1foot ollie..
2. Let your backfoot slip off just a moment after you did the frontfoot.
3. Make a small circular movement with your backfoot so you can land it.

Gooooooood luck

Skate punk started in early 1980s California, where skateboarding was popular and was considered a form of rebellion. Bands such as Dr. Know, Agression, Suicidal Tendencies, Stalag 13, Agent Orange, Ill repute, JFA ect.. were the structure of the skate core scene. Bands that influenced the genre include Black Flag, JFA and Minor Threat. The 1990s saw a rise in its popularity, with skate punk bands experiencing commercial success. Events like the Warped Tour and the X-games have featured skate punk bands. Fat Wreck Chords and Epitaph Records have been home to many successful skate punk bands since the early 1990s when skate punk grew popular. By 2000, the two labels stopped signing new skate punk bands, with the exception of Pour Habit signing to Fat Wreck Chords in 2009.

Since the 1990s, skate punk has slowly grown in popularity (with the exception of the US), especially in Europe, Japan, and South America. The Japanese record label, Bells On Records is a staple in the resurgence of skate punk. It features more than 20 bands from around the world.

Skate punk (sometimes called skate core or skate rock) is a subgenre of punk rock, originally a derivative of hardcore punk, that has been popular among skateboarders. Skate punk grew from the Nardcore punk scene out of Oxnard, California. It is very similar to Nardcore, as it is fast and aggressive, yet some skate punk focuses more on melodic and harmonious vocals. Skate punk is usually also more technical than Nardcore. Many members of skate punk bands have been skateboarders. Their lyrics occasionally focus on, or at least reference, skateboarding. The skate punk music style is fast and meant to recreate the feel of skateboarding. Commonly used instruments include distorted guitars and surf rock-style drums. Many skate punk bands also fit into the genres pop punk, hardcore punk, melodic hardcore and thrashcore.
