¶ Stomp
While there is no definitive date for when the Stomp was invented, it is definitely one of the oldest discovered tricks on freeskates. It is performed by pushing off with one leg and throwing your other skate down directly under your second foot.
¶ Variations
The Stomp can be performed using either your front or back foot in both regular and switch stances. Once you have mastered the basic movement, you can elevate the trick into a Flipstomp by flipping the skate in mid-air before stomping it down.

¶ Tips for learning
- First practice doing the Stomp without the other skate
- While doing the stomp, Lift your foot up before dropping the skate
- While dropping the skate, hold it on the outer edge, not the inner edge
- Don't let the skate bounce, your foot should hit the ground with the skate
