Trick Guide

The history of roller-skate trick names is tricky to track down — most freestyle tricks were being thrown in bowls and on ramps long before the internet existed. Since our trick names pull from roller skating, skateboarding, and inline skating, it can get confusing. We made this guide so you never see a trick and think: "what the heck is that called?" — starting with grinds and slides. Ever-growing, always evolving.
