How do you start them because I skate goofy I take my front foot off to put on the right hand side of me ground and because I have weight on the tail the board smacks me in the hand as I go to grab it.

Grab the board just before you take your foot off.

I tried them again today and I can grab the board but i'm trying to do 180 boneless and whenever I jump I can't seem to spin round very easily.

funny, funny thread

Why?

For a 180 boneless, it helps to sort of swing your front arm out as you go to grab your board, which gives you the momentum to spin. It's just as easy as jumping and donig a 180 to be honest.

I found it easier to 180 Boneless into a tail stall on a kerb first. Once that is consistant, try them on the flat, just make sure you lean far enough forward to get your feet back on.

for a 180 boneless, put your left foot facing forwards not sideways, then in the air swing the rest with your arms

bonless pfft try doing a "TRICK"

yes, thats correct rickie! they are only tricks if YOU like them! anything YOU dont like no one else can learn, because of course, there is a trick learning routine you HAVE to learn! Ollie, Kickflip..

let him learn what he wants, and a Boneless is a 'trick'.

So whats this then?

well it looks like a trick or maybe falling with stlye

i was being sarcastic lol.


it most tricks f there easy for me i dont call them a trick

like game of skate at are local park its just somthing everyone says"

like if some one does a pop shuv , and ther easy as hell . its like you say try doing a trick


hard to understand but if you live in the WOO,worcester then ya will get it

peace.

Backside boneless

boneless's are the best, so much fun just doin vairations like boneless fingerflips or bonless impossibles,

i forget, is boneless old school or freestyle. On that subject, what is the difference

Who cares, they are good fun

Boneless is an old school trick that probably got its name from the "bones brigade" back in the early 80's.

so basically, you don't credit people that aren't as good as you

Thanks, I just wondered cause it could be used in freestyle. I like to boneless. In my school there is this curb that i like to 180 boneless onto. (BTW if bonelessing onto a curb, make sure your trucks dont slam into the side, i wrecked my elbow that way)

Here's some interesting information from our friend wikipedia:

This classic trick, invented by Gary Scott Davis, dates back to the freestyling era of skateboarding. Variations include rotations, varials, and hand flips. Basically the principle is where the skater grabs the skateboard while simultaneously stepping off the board and jumping with one foot. The skater then replaces the board under his/her feet and lands. It is commonly used to gain more height or performed down stair sets. Since the 1980s the Boneless has lost much of its popularity, however, there are still some cult skateboarders, such as Peter Vlad, Mike Vallely and Ali Boulala, that keep the trick alive. Originally, Gary Scott Davis thought this trick up. He didn't think it was possible though. His friend called him up one day to announce that he had done that trick and Gary came down to meet him. He realized how much easier it was to plant the front foot down and how much higher they can go. Contrary to popular belief, the name "Boneless One" has nothing to do with your legs or any part of the trick. It was a name given some time after the trick was done, and named after a puppet that one of his friends owned. The puppets name was Harry the Boneless One.

Taddaa.

cool, didnt realise it had such a history to it
pretty nice

i just cut my toe trying "fakie boneless front foot impossibles"

time for new shoes

course boneless is a trick in itself it's easy yea, but variations are what makes it worth trying...

the other day I got boneless 360s on flat, looooads of fun

yeah, your right there, i like bonelessing with a few spins and flips, but im not trying to mix impossible handflips (if thats a real move) into it yet
