Step 4: The 900 requires two and a half rotations on air. Step 3: Repeat the steps above as many times as you want until you gain enough speed and momentum for a 900. Step 2: As soon as your skateboard reaches the other coping, make a turn back to the other side of the halfpipe. Lean on the skateboard forward and ride down the halfpipe. Step 1: Place one end of the skateboard against the steel coping. This skill consists of a big halfpipe ramp ridden by skaters who make 2.5 rotations in the air. The 900 skate trick is what transformed Tony Hawk into who he is in the world. Step 4: Find the stepping surface of your skateboard with your feet as soon as the rotation completes. Lift your front foot up so the deck can rotate. Step 2: Push the skateboard’s tail down with your back foot to make it turn 360°. That means your back foot rests on the tail and your front foot behind the front truck bolts. Step 1: Ride your skateboard forward with your feet in an ollie position. Compared to a 360° shuvit, the skateboard will make vertical rotations as opposed to the horizontal trajectory of a 360. No, this skill is not literally how it sounds. So, try to stay balanced during and after sliding on the rail. Step 3: You will tail slide on the ledge without looking at it. Guide the deck’s tail onto the rail’s platform. Step 2: As soon as the board nears the rail, pop the skateboard and turn your body 90°. Unlike a frontside, we will attack the ledge with your back facing against it. Step 1: Approach the ledge or rail with your skateboard in a slightly parallel position to the obstacle. For better illustration, let’s have your right foot as the front. So, find a flat bar, a rail, or a concrete ledge in the park. We will be playing with rails and ledges for this trick. So, try to be patient and perform this skill part by part. Perhaps, the Laser Flip is the most difficult skateboard trick anyone can do. Step 4: Land with both feet on the board. Then, the skateboard will complete the 360° rotation with a flip. Step 3: Do a varial heelflip simultaneously to rotate the board with your heel. Step 2: As soon as the board gets enough momentum, perform a 360° shuvit.

Step 1: Ride the skateboard forward with both your feet on the board. If you’re hearing about this skill for the first time, you might not understand how the skateboard flips and rotates mid-air. It requires enough force from the back heel to pop the board and your legs to jump high. This very hard trick combines the front shuv pop and flip, with the skateboard making a 360° turn in the air. Here is my take on hard skateboard tricks, ranked by difficulty. Deciding what’s the hardest trick in skateboarding is more subjective than factual.
