Easy Beginner tricks for a really short board?

[joeyp978]

Hey guys, are there any simple basic tricks that pretty much every longboarder knows how to do?

Like for example for skateboarding, you got Ollie-ing.

I also got a... I would have to say 33' longboard skateboard, so the deck is small, and the deck is hard, the wheels are pretty soft too, i think 78.


Thanks guys.


Sorry for the nooby questions, I appreciate your patience lol.

shortboards are more often used for flip tricks and manuals because they have more torque and less weight to flip with. youll have a hard time trying to do real cross stepping on a 33 inch board

id say try shove-its and/or manuals to get you started. but work on being totally comfortable riding first, all technical stuff will come easier after you get that down
