Airwalk (skate trick)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The airwalk is a skateboarding trick invented in 1983 by Tony Hawk, who performed it on ramps and half pipes. In 1986, Rodney Mullen invented the Ollie Airwalk, a flatground version of the Airwalk. The name Ollie Airwalk is often mistaken by the Ollie Airwalk trick in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. In the version in the game, the skateboarder only kicks his/her legs of the board and doesn't grab the nose. This is not considered a "real" airwalk.
To perform the airwalk, the skateboarder grabs the nose of the skateboard and kicks the front foot in front of the board and the back foot back of the board, resulting in a split kick while holding the nose. Good skateboarders can kick it the other way while in the same aerial and make a walking motion.
