It is fun to do tricks and stunts on a skateboard. There are three different kinds of tricks: street, freestyle, and vertical. Street tricks can be done almost anywhere, and an example is an ollie. When you are in competitions, you are usually doing freestyle tricks such as wheelies. When tricks are done on ramps and the skater goes into the air,such as airs, these are called vertical tricks.
