But now I'm just explaining 'bout Street tricks.
Street Tricks are the trick that more acrobated on the street.
The street tricks must look around the environment you play.
These tricks are basic street tricks where I've taken from SwitchMagazine
Ollie
Ollie is the most basic of skateboard. Don't give up to try but just keep going. It's not easy to pull up but the right postures will help
1) Push at a comfortable speed, remember the faster you go the better the pop.
2) Place your front foot near the middle of your board, about two inches under your bolts. Put your back foot on the tail.
3) Squat, so you can spring yourself up.
4) Kick your back foot down so you can pop as you jump up, your front foot should rub upward on your griptape.
5) Make sure you tuck your knees to your chest, picking up your back foot as well to level the board at a good height. REMEMBER you are jumping forward.
6) Then come down comfortably, both feet on the board. It will look better if both your feet are over the bolts as well as lessen the stress of impact
7) Finally bend your legs as you touch down to give it that smooth style and roll away stocked.

Kickflip

Kickflip is the variation of the Ollie but in this case you must flick your board until spinning around

1) Start with your back foot on the tail and your front foot right under the bolts. Your front foot should be slanted just a little.
2) Bend your knees and pop your board.
3) Flick your front foot off the tip of the nose making it flip.
4) Suck up your legs for the catch. Try and keep your feet over the bolts.
5) Land and absorb the shock and roll away.

The easy ways to learn this trick by pushing the back foot catch with the front foot which it makes the board stop spin

1) Start off with your feet placed correctly on your board.
2) Cruise at a comfortable speed, its about the same as an ollie except you rotate your body inward.
3) As you ollie up kick your back foot behind you and you board will rotate inward.
4) Keep your shoulders and body straight, don't turn.
