12 Scooter Tricks For Beginners – Easy Scooter Tricks

For this trick, you don’t need a ramp or anything. You just need to be able to get about a foot of air on your bunny hop. Once you can do that, just do a full rotation of the handlebars while still in the air. You have just completed the barspin. If this seems like too difficult of a task, most scooters allow you to do a half bar spin.

This means you only need to spin the handlebars 180 degrees. To make it even easier, you can cross your arms before the jump and complete the spin in one fluid motion. Here is a scooter that works well for this trick.

This trick could almost be considered the inverse Barspin. Rather than rotating the handlebars around the deck, you are rotating the deck around the handlebars. You may need a little more lift to complete this trick and you may not want to rule out getting a small ramp for your front driveway. Foot positioning is key for a lot of these tricks.

Make sure you watch the pros do it so you can pick up the correct method from their tricks. If you want, here is a good basic ramp you can buy for personal use, or for the kids in your neighborhood.

This one you are going to need a ramp for. The no-hander is basically a regular jump but during the “ascent” of the jump, the rider takes his or her hands off of the handlebars. How is this possible you might ask? The upward momentum of the scooter during the jump keeps the feet on the deck.

This trick can be accomplished rather effortlessly if you know what you’re doing. Like a lot of these tricks, the risk of injury can be relatively high, so make sure you are wearing the proper padding. Here are some great pads that you can use to keep yourself safe during these tricks. This is definitely the top priority when practicing tricks.

This is a relatively easy one, and is almost self-explanatory. The tail grab requires a little bit of air, but not that much if you want to replicate it on a small scale. Then all you need to do is grab the back end of your deck and voila! You have just done a tail grab. A little tip about this trick is that it is easier if you bend your knees a lot. This brings the deck a lot closer to your arms and is thus easier to grab. This might be an obvious one but I thought I would throw it in there.

This trick is almost identical to the tail whip, but the execution is different. This time, instead of whipping the deck around with the front of your foot, you are pushing it around with your heels. This makes the deck spin around in the opposite direction. It should spin counterclockwise instead of clockwise this time.

This one is a fun one. Although it is pretty easy, it is quite rewarding. All you need to do is pull the handlebars up while you are riding and maintain balance on one wheel. It seems difficult but with enough practice you should be able to do it. I would also recommend getting a scooter like the A3 or A4 because they come with a wheelie bar.

This is super helpful because it lets you execute a proper wheelie without the deck completely flipping over. It will stop the deck at a certain position when the bar hits the ground. Funny how such a tiny little metal bar can make all the difference. Here are links where you can find the A4 and the A3.

This may seem counter intuitive, but the 180 can sometimes be more difficult than the 360. The main reason for this is, of course, it involves riding backwards. The trick to this is to make sure your head pivots as you do. Focus straight ahead and don’t take your eyes off the road ahead. If you can do this, you will ensure that you don’t lose your balance during the spin. Make sure you watch how the pros do it before attempting yourself. You can pick up a lot of useful information by just following the right experts.

You may need to head to the skate park for this one. This is a very simple trick, but it is not easy. I’m sure this is one of the most common tricks, and once you see it the trick will look really familiar. Basically, all you need to do when you’re going off a half-pipe is to turn around and head straight on the way down. So you just need to go up one side of a half-pipe, turn 180 degrees and then go back down. You can do this multiple times in a row and once you get good, it can be quite fun.
