the first trick you want to learn is a ollie.a ollie is where you jump in the air with your skateboard.how you do it is you put your back foot on the tail of the skateboard,the tail is the very back part of your skateboard.and your front foot goes in the middle of the skateboard.kick the tail of your skateboard as hard as you can and jump(make sure that you jump the same time you kick the tail not after,kind of like pushing on it when you jump).then slide your front foot up to the nose of your skateboard.the nose is the very front of your skateboard.even it out in the air,land,and roll away,make sure you bend your knees up to your chest or atleast close while in the air(that will let the skateboard get high enough in the air and give you enough time to even it out in the air).some people say that its easyer to learn it while rolling but i learned it while staying still,but whatever works for you.make sure your comfoble where you are when you do it or you will not be able to.if the first time you do it the board only gos up to about an inch or 2 dont freak out becouse thats normal,after you pratice enought you will be able to go about 4 feet or more.make sure there are no animals or gental stuff right by you when you first do it becouse your board will probaly go flying a few times.if you want any other tricks you can go to youtube.com and type in tony hawk then type in the trick you want and there will be a video of tony and his friend showing you how too do the trick.hope this helps.

try going to the YMCA or some kind of skateboard place and try to learn from the people there. i would recommend a tic tac as your first "trick" it's not really a trick but it'll help you turn and do other things as you advance. but for now just keep practicing and ride every day and if you feel so inspired-try to do new things on your own when you feel ready
