Every trick,
in the order
you'll learn them
Start at the ollie. Land it 100 times and it's yours. Master six and the next tier opens. No more guessing what to learn next — the library shows you.
Four tiers, 70+ tricks
This is the real library, exactly as it looks in the app. Tier 1 is where every beginner starts: the ollie, the pop shuvit, the manual, your first kickflip, your first grind. Tier 2 stays locked until six of them are mastered.

Beginner trick questions
What skateboard trick should I learn first?
The ollie. Nearly everything else is built on it — the kickflip, the pop shuvit, the 180s and every ledge trick start with popping the tail. That's why it sits first in Tier 1.
What order should I learn skateboard tricks in?
Easiest first, and only what your feet are ready for. The library splits into four tiers: Foundations (ollie, pop shuvit, manual, kickflip, 50-50, boardslide), Intermediate (varial kickflip, bigspin, noseslide, grabs), Advanced (360 flip, hardflip, crooked grind) and Pro (laser flip, darkslide, handplant).
How long does it take to learn an ollie?
Most skaters land a rolling ollie within a few weeks of steady practice. Landing one and owning one are different things, which is why a trick counts as mastered at 100 makes, not at one.
Do switch and fakie count separately?
Yes. Landing a kickflip regular says nothing about landing it switch, so every trick tracks each stance on its own — and each stance unlocks its own tiers.
How to learn skateboard tricks as a beginner
Everyone's first month looks the same: you can roll, you can't pop, and every list you find puts the tricks in a different order. Here's what actually works — and why the library above is ordered the way it is.
Get comfortable before you get tricks
None of this works while the board still feels foreign under your feet. Spend the first sessions rolling: push, turn, stop, ride a mellow bank. Learn kickturns and tic-tacs — lifting the nose to swing the board around is the first time you feel your weight move the board instead of the other way round. None of that counts as a trick in the library, and that's deliberate. They aren't things you land, they're things you stop having to think about.
Why the ollie comes first
The ollie isn't the easiest trick. It's the one everything else needs. Kickflips, shuvits, 180s, every grind and slide on a ledge — they all start with snapping the tail and dragging your front foot up the board. Learn it standing still first, on grass or carpet so the board can't shoot out from under you, then take it rolling. Keep your shoulders square over the board: turning them toward your landing is what sends the board sideways. Expect weeks, not days.
What to learn after the ollie
Guides disagree here, and they're all defensible. The pop shuvit is the closest thing to an ollie you can do — same pop, a scoop instead of a drag — which makes it the fastest second trick. Frontside and backside 180s teach you to turn in the air, which every spin trick later depends on. Manuals cost nothing to practise and sharpen the balance every ledge trick needs. The kickflip is the one you actually want, and there's no rule against going straight for it. Just don't be surprised when the shuvit lands first anyway.
Tricks you don't need an ollie for
If your ollie isn't there yet, you're not stuck. Manuals, nose manuals and powerslides need no pop at all. The no comply and the boneless swap the snap for a foot on the ground. On a ramp, a rock to fakie or a tail stall gets you into transition without ever leaving the ground. These aren't consolation prizes — they sit in tier 1 because they teach board control that flip tricks never will.
Landing a trick isn't learning it
There's a long gap between the first one you roll away from and the one you can do on command, at a spot, with people watching. That's why nothing counts as mastered here until you've landed it a hundred times. It sounds like a lot until you notice that a focused session on one trick is thirty or forty makes. The number isn't really the point. Being able to do it every time you want to is.
The mistakes that cost beginners months
Learning six tricks at once, so none of them get enough attempts to stick. Only ever skating flat, so ledges and transition stay intimidating for years. Only ever skating regular, so switch becomes a wall you hit later instead of a habit you built early. And skating with no record of any of it — a whole season blurs into “I think I'm getting better” when a count of makes would have told you outright.
