When kids are entering contests, the first thing they want to learn is a kickflip. What I would recommend for kids to learn first are the basics. And that's like just being able to transition from a transition from flat land, being able to just get your board in the air and land it with or without your hands on the board, depending on your style.Like a frontside air is a good thing to learn. Like just fly in the air frontside and grab the board, grab the rail. I'd say the other things that are really cool to learn is just some basic balancing tricks, like manualling on the tail, or nose wheeling, or doing like a G-turn to where you turn on the nose and kind of come out switch stance. And then come back to your regular stance.What it's called basically is manoeuvring the board like footwork. Like even if you're not moving your feet on the board, you're moving the board with your feet.
