I am gonna learn other tricks. what are easy tricks to learn?
I tried to do nose manual, but it's not easy as it looks. I am starting to get frustrated now.
would learning front slide power slide easier than nose manual?
hippie jumps, riding switch, doing 180 pivots (going from your normal stance to switch, and back again), nose manuals and normal manuals, and shovits. i think power slides are a bit harder, but it depends on the person.
learn what's useful for your style of riding. if you're cruising streets and sidewalks, powerslides will be helpful to scrub speed, boneless 1s to get up curbs and stuff. riding switch helps a ton in gaining board control. don't forget to have fun.

try riding with one foot and doing large carves, and then try cross-step to revert.

i dont know how long your deck is, but mine is 46" and i just walk all over it. like when riding, i crouch down and get into a backwards louge so im lying down on my back with my head at the front of the board. then i get out of it while still moving. just fun stuff like that. plus there is always jumping and spinning on your board (your body does a 180 or 360 but the board stays on the ground)

It's always good to see what different tricks people are doing on youtube and stuff, but also try making up your own tricks. Be creative, maybe try coming up with a variation of a trick or combo different tricks, it's tough but so much fun
Learn the nose manual man, in my opinion one of the most important longboard tricks to learn cause you can string it together with a variety of others.
But for right now learn how to do a shenanigans.
You can find a video explaining how to do it on loaded's site under trick tips.
super easy to learm, i mastered in a couple hours and can now do it with ease
looks sweet too haha
If you set out like, ''Yay time to learn how to nose manual'' it's gonna get dull. You just practise them and in the beginning you will progress so slow it feels like a waste of time. Try more tricks then the nosemanual and inbetween just ride and try them all the time.
Powerslides are not really hard to do, you just stand there and do them until you get them. You could maybe learn how to shuvit. It's fun and looks prettey good.
I'll second (or third?) checking all the Adam Colton trick tips, especially the early ones before he got on Loaded. The lookback and chop the wood were 2 of the first boardwalkin tricks I learnt, very satisfying to do and pretty easy. Also try everyvariation of cross stepping you can: Toeside, heelside, switch, fakie, backwards, forewards, upside down (heh).
Apart from that, just go riding and mess around, it's amazing what can happen when your just letting it flow and a completely new trick pops up out of nowhere!

Here's a couple which you could try and all have vids by the Adams on youtube: The lookback, the shanker, chop the wood, shenanigans, walk the plank.
Hardest of those is (imo) shenanigans and walk the plank, the shanker is good fun and the lookback too but it gets much harder to do at higher speeds. Chop the wood is a great looking way to do some smooth carves.
Just search all of them on youtube and you will find them easy as.
