1. Bunny Hop
It’s a trick where the wheels of scooter leave the ground at the same time while you are hopping.

- Next, lift up the back wheel off the ground while you’re pulling and pushing up. At this position, both of the wheels of the scooter along with your feet will be in the air at a height of about one foot.

How to do
- Start rolling on the ground at a reasonable speed.
- Now lift up the front wheel off the ground only by using your arms but do not hop.

- If it’s too high, slightly press the brake. If too low, slightly lift it up.
- Next, lift up the back wheel off the ground while you’re pulling and pushing up. At this position, both of the wheels of the scooter along with your feet will be in the air at a height of about one foot.
- At the same time, straighten your hand. It’ll help you to lock your position.
- At last, drop the front wheel back to the ground by pressing the brake. Then roll away.
- Hover your back foot over the brake while doing this trick.

It’s a trick to ride your scooter backward. Once you learn this, it’ll allow you to try some other tricks like nose whip or 180. To practice this trick scooter stunt, you’ll require a pipe or ramp and you have to roll it up slightly. The gravity will do the rest.
How to do
- Roll towards the rolled ramp or pipe. Keep yourself in the straight line while doing so.
- Now roll backward down the ramp as long as you can.
- You must keep the balance all the time. To keep the balance steady, you have to keep your eyes on the front wheels.
- You can turn the front wheel a little bit if you need so that you can stay in a straight line.
4. Nose Pivot
In this trick, you have to spin the scooter without jumping but using only the front wheels.
How to do Trick Scooter Stunts
- Position your front leg near the handlebars. The upper the front foot is, the better you’ll perform.

- You can rotate either right (front side) or left (backward).
- Finally, Land on the ground. Straighten your legs to reduce the spinning.
6. Air

How to do
- Push yourself off and initiate with a bunny hop.
- With your front foot, push the deck off so that it can spin 360 degrees. Now both of your hands will be holding the bars and the feet in the air.
