A Few Tricks on a Scooter to Learn

• You have to start with the basics 
• Bunny Hop: ride at a moderate pace, bend your knees, jump up and pull the deck firmly against feet by pulling up on the handle bars. Land with your board straight or you’ll stack.Not very likely
• Wheelie (or manual): ride at a moderate pace, move your feet to the back of the deck. Keep your back foot on the board, lift pressure of your front foot and pull up on your handle bars. Lift the front wheel but keep the back on the ground.
• Jayhop: do a wheelie then attempt a bunny hop. What you want to do is kinda like a wheelie but both wheels leave the ground. The front wheel should be higher than the back wheel.
• Stall: Jayhop onto any edge such as a curb, park bench, rail or whatever. Balance as long as you can. Jayop back onto the ground.
• Front Wheelie (or nose manual): Move your feet to the front of the deck. Ride at at moderate pace. Push forward on your bars while pushing down on your front foot. Make sure you don’t face plant.
• Bar Spin (or X-Up): while doing a wheelie spin your bars 180 degrees.
• Tail Whip: ride at speed and do a bunny hop. Use your back foot to kick your deck so it swings around 360 degrees while you are in the air. Have your knees bent. When your board comes around to the right position, slam down hard.

Once you’ve learned these basic scooter tricks you can start combining them. Some things you can try:

• One footed wheelie: try doing a wheelie with one foot. It’s harder than you think. Try a front wheelie as well.
• Grind: with heaps of speed, Bunny Hop and flick your feet out so your deck spins 180 degrees. Land on a edge like your doing a stall at speed. Grind as long as you can thenJayhop off.
• Superman: you’ll need heaps of speed for this one. Use a jump or Bunny Hop off a high place while traveling at speed. Push your Deck in front of you use the bars to pull it back under your feet just before you land.
• Indy: get heaps of air. Hold on to the bottom of your deck with one hand. Let go just before you land.

As you can see, all scooter tricks are combinations or extensions of the basic tricks. Master them first and there’s nothing stopping you. Personally, Irecon the Jayhop is a great trick to learn. Once you know how to Jayhop you can jump over or on to things so nothing will slow you down.
