straightside

Straightside is a term used to describe a type of skateboarding trick where the skateboarder performs a flip or rotation while maintaining a straight alignment of the board relative to the ground. This is in contrast to other tricks where the board might rotate or flip in a more complex manner, such as in ollies or kickflips. The straightside trick is characterized by the skateboarder's ability to control the board's orientation and balance during the flip, often requiring precise timing and coordination. This trick is commonly performed on ramps or other flat surfaces, and it is a fundamental skill in skateboarding that demonstrates control and balance. Straightside tricks can be executed in various directions, including forward, backward, and sideways, and they are often used as a foundation for more advanced tricks. Mastery of straightside tricks is essential for skateboarders looking to improve their overall skill set and perform more complex maneuvers.
