50-50- The 50-50 is the name of a stance that is similar to a Casper with the board upside-down, but the back foot is standing on the back truck rather than the back tail. The 50-50 is done with a hand holding the nose of the board, or it can be done with the front foot holding up the nose with no hand holding the board up. In this case it is called a No-Handed 50-50. The name of this stance collides with the common Streetstyle skateboarding trick, the 50-50 Grind. While this stance had the name first, other riders use the name Truckstand to distinguish between the two.

Anti-Casper- Contrary to popular belief, the Anti-Casper is not just a Nose/Switch Casper. It is not considered an Anti-Casper unless half of an Ollie Impossible is performed into a nose/switch Casper. This is usually done by popping the tail, which would begin the half Impossible or half vertical flip, and jumping. Once the board flips half of an Ollie Impossible, it comes down into switch Casper, and is caught with the front foot on top of the nose and the back foot on the underside of the board in a Nose/Switch Casper.

Shove-it- A Shove-it or Varial rotation is regarded as a 180 degree spin (instead of a flip) of the board. Which direction it spins is usually described in the name, such as Frontside or Backside. When called just a Shove-It, it is assumed it is only a Varial 180 degree Shove-It. If it is any higher in degrees, it is stated. For example, a 360 Shove-It must have the 360 stated or it should be assumed to only be 180 degrees of spin.
- The Shove-it was always a Freestyle trick as was every other skateboarding trick used in Streetstyle skateboarding. It was done with the front foot facing forward towards the nose, on the nose of the board and your back foot would be used to throw the board. In today's modern Streetstyle skateboarding, the Shove-It is either done Frontside or Backside and the point of action originates from the tail of the board. Only when the rider pushes down and forward or down and backward can the board spin 180 degrees Frontside or Backside. The back foot begins the trick and the front foot either assists in the spin by influencing the board or just jumps if the back foot influenced it enough. In the Shove-It done off the nose, this is done in reverse. The front foot assumes the role of the back foot in that it pushes down and initiates the action, and the back foot either jumps or assists in the spin. It can be done both Frontside and Backside from this way. This is considered the Freestyle and pre Streetstyle era Shove-It. Contrary to popular belief, Frontside or Backside of any kind of Shove-It is not harder than the other if you learn both at the same time. Learning one and not the other may give you the illusion that it is hard to do the other. This would not make sense because another skateboarder may find the harder version easier and your version harder provided he/she learned the opposite Shove-It first. This also applies to the Ollie Kickflip and the Ollie Heelflip. For one who has learned the Ollie Kickflip before the Ollie Heelflip, it may seem harder, same applies vice versa.

No-Comply, Step-Hop, No Handed Boneless- In this trick the front foot slides off the side of the board, with the body weight on the back foot over the tail, the board 'snaps' up and can be guided with the back leg/knee. To ride away the rider jumps with his/her front foot back on. The No-Comply was commonly used by street skaters in the mid to late 80's, most commonly being done off parking blocks by bumping the tail off them. This trick has many variations, including 180, 360, Varials, Flips, Fingerflips, Impossibles, et cetera. Ray Barbee is noted as a master of No-Comply variations to many who have watched the earlier Powell videos.

Pogo- Done with the board straight up and down, this move uses the skateboard as a pogo stick. One foot is on the bottom truck, and the other usually presses on the grip tape side of the board for grip. An easier variation involves one foot off with the rider grabbing th nose. The skater can also do this with both feet on the truck, a 2-foot pogo, of with the feet crossed.

Ollie- Considered the trick of all tricks, this trick was what allowed Flatland Skateboarding to reach a vertical height and gave rise to the merge of Freestyle to Street obstacles creating an entirely new style of skateboard. Streetstyle Skateboarding. Streetstyle Skateboarding became possible when Freestyle tricks were allowed to be done on Street obstacles and the Ollie was the trick that allowed this to become possible. The Ollie was not developed by Rodney Mullen. He was the first to do it on flatland but did not invent it.
- The Footwork in question was one that the rider did to go from stationary into Switch Tailstop. While in stationary the rider pops the board down on the tail with the back foot and the front foot drags up the board all the way to the tip of the nose and all weight is put on the front foot as the rider comes down in Switch Tailstop with his front foot now on top of the Nose of the skateboard which is touching the ground. Rodney Mullen realized that by doing this action but dragging the front foot only half way or a bit more than half way instead of up to the tip of the Nose, he could get the board to go in the air but land on all four wheels instead of a Switch Tailstop.
- The rider stands stationary or rolls forward and pops down hard on the tail with the back foot. When the nose of the skateboard starts to point up the rider drags the front foot up the skateboard which causes the skateboard to drag up and get higher. The rider lifts the back foot and eventually the rider stops the drag while the skateboard stops its vertical ascent and the back of the skateboard rises up to the same level as the other side of the skateboard is at with the back of the skateboard meeting the back foot. The skateboard has now "Leveled Out" and the rider braces for impact on all four wheels, rolling away. This trick can be done in staggering amounts of variations including all kinds of combinations of rotations, flips and body rotations combined which truly makes it the most versatile trick in the existence of skateboarding.

Kickflip- Thought to be invented by Kurt Lindgren, not the Ollie Kickflip, but done standing with feet parallel in the middle of the skateboard, with the toes of the back foot hooked under and flipping the board as the skater jumps. This is notably different from the Ollie Kickflip in that it does not involve an Ollie. There exists many variations of the Kickflip including the Double Kickflip, M-80 Kickflip, Double M-80 Kickflip, Varial Kickflip, 360 Kickflip (Butterfly), 540 Kickflip and many more, and all of the variations with a One Foot landing or Cross Foot landing making the amount of variations absolutely staggering. When done, the rider will have a tendency to turn his body 90 degrees to line himself up with the board. The direction to which he turns, seems more natural if it's the direction opposite the foot he used to flip the board. This would result in a Fakie landing. It is also possible to flip and turn your body 90 degrees in the OTHER direction and land rolling forward rather than Fakie.
