Written by Martin Solans in Tricks,Uncategorized

Welcome! Some of the tricks you’ll find below are also typically done in a skatepark, that’s why you might find their ‘how-to’ oriented for ‘quarter’, ‘coping’, ‘deck’, and so on. Just replace those terms with whatever makes sense for dirt and you’ll be fine.

You’ll find the ‘how-to’ for these tricks following the links on their titles and/or pictures, which will take you to a new tab, to one of the tricks trilogy posts (beginner, intermediate, and advanced tricks) on which this list is based.

If there is a trick you can’t find here, make sure to check the links above.
