#1 The Spin
We’ll start with one of the easiest tricks to master ‘The Spin’ which is really easy and will definitely impress people who’ve never seen a hoverboard before. To do ‘The Spin’ all you have to do is tilt your left foot down and leave the right foot flat so the board spins Left and perform the same trick with the opposite foot to spin the other way.

#2 The One Foot Circle
This stunt requires a little more courage but it’s just as easy as ‘The Spin’ with some small adjustments, so just as you would performing the trick above.. tilt one foot in the direction you’re most comfortable spinning in, and place one foot on the wheel cover, you might have to find an easy way to place your feet like the one shown above.
#3 The Turnstyle (360-back-to-front)
This hoverboard trick is so cool and will always be one of the more advanced tricks to attempt, to do ‘The Turnstyle’ you need to have quick reactions and good judgement as you’ll essentially spin the board in a circle as you jump 180 degrees and land back on the board. If you started with the LED lights at the front they should now end up behind you.

#4 The Sitting Spin
This stunt is for all the lazy people out there! Not really.. it’s quite difficult to get this trick right as you have to first sit down on the hoverboard (lengthways) with your bum placed on the foot sensor and your feet on the wheel protector you need to tilt sideways so you can start spinning.. Make sure you hold onto your knees!

#5 Hoverboard Handstand
The hoverboard handstand is something of its own, we can’t really tell you how to do this trick unless you first of all.. know how to do a handstand. If you do then great as the only thing you’ll have to worry about is placing your hands on the hoverboard sensors quickly as you flip your legs into the air and balance. It’s hard to get this mix right so we don’t encourage anyone who doesn’t have experience performing a handstand.

#6 The Incredable Swirl
By far the coolest trick we’ve found so far! to perform this hoverboard trick you must take off one foot and place it behind you on the floor as you move the hand on the same side on-to the wheel cover, this will help you keep your balance as you edge your foot backwards or forwards to move in a circular style. As soon as you can spin in a circle raise your foot off the ground and point it outwards.
