Top 10 Best Skateboarding Tricks

Skateboarding has always been about pushing boundaries. From the early days of cruising pools to the megastunts of today, skaters have constantly amazed us with new ways to defy gravity on a simple board and wheels. But what are the actual best skateboard tricks?

That's been debated in skateparks and parking lots since forever. Was the 900 the revolution of skating, or was the darkslide the greatest technical trick of all time? Did the kickflip change everything, or are we still blown away decades later by perfectly executed ollies?
The Top Ten
Ollie

It looks cool and impresses a lot of people. Absolutely love it.

Yes, it's the beginning of all tricks. Like, you know that!

Kickflip

Skateboarding isn't about how many times you can flip your board in one jump. It's about how cleanly you catch it. This or a heelflip should be number one without a doubt.

360 Flip (also known as Tre Flip)

It is not the most difficult trick, but in my opinion, it is the most beautiful one. And not only that, the reason why a 360 kickflip is so important is because learning Tre Flips determines whether you are a beginner or an intermediate skater.

Tre Flips involve 360-degree spins on two different axes of the board. They require a lot of precision and technique, but if done properly, it is beautiful to watch the board rotate beneath your legs. Watch the 360 flip slow-motion video from Skatology on YouTube and enjoy it. It's so nice, high, and steezy.

Pop Shuvit
Heelflip
Darkslide

One of the coolest street tricks. No one does these, so they must be really hard. Pros don't have to worry about messing up decks, but they still don't do them. Have you ever seen one in a competition?

Greatest trick of all time. It's so hard to do, and I think the 900 got played out when Shaun White attempted the 1080, which was amazing.

Darkslides are super hard to pull off. It takes a lot of time and practice to do this trick, so if you can do it, you're an awesome skater!

Boardslide

I can boardslide. It's one of the first slides/grinds that skaters learn. It's easy but looks cool. You don't really have to balance left and right, but you do need to balance so you don't fall forward or slip out backward.

Nollie 720 Gazelle Flip

This trick is insane. Just go on YouTube and watch videos of it being done.

The science behind it is incredible!

Wallride

There's just something about it - you're riding on a wall!

Laser Flip

It took me a while to learn this trick, but it feels amazing to land and looks really cool.

Twisted Flip
Dolphin Flip
Pressure Flip
Hippy Jump
Rocket Air
Hardflip

It's not even a kickflip and a frontside shove. It's a unique trick all its own.

Impossible
Fakie to Switch 5-0 Grind
Superdude
Kickflip Backside Tailslide

This is honestly the best and coolest-looking trick in skateboarding history.

It's a combination of a backside flip during the whole slide, so it's the best.
