Basics like 180, tail whips, 360, barspin, manuals and airs over coping are all nice to start with :)

Hey good to see new blood starting out. =)
I couldn't really give you many tips as i haven't been in this sport for that long either. However what i have found which helps out is too always bend your knees after a trick, keep Your feet together(for some tricks), keep at tricks and never give up! But mostly just to enjoy riding as much as you can and ignore any bad things/experiences that you may come across(including on this forum).

I hope that you really enjoy riding your scooter!

=D

Get someone decent to help you for a couple of weeks before you begin to develop your own feel, and don't get obsessed when you can't whip yet - just cool down and try other tricks. Also don't watch tons of YouTube tutorials on anything - get someone to help you or at least watch a clip of you to base advice on that.
Whereabouts are you from?

When you go to parks, respect the other sports and please don't give them a bad image.

Also 180s, half cabs, 360s, tailwhips, barspins, airs, and deck or nose grabs are good tricks to learn as a basis.

Don't push mongo. But since you're a skater you should know that. Also, don't ride just flyout.

don't heeldrag, it's a bad habit that apparently no one knows how to stop, ride what you enjoy, not what people say you should ride

good tips
- have fun
- dont blow all you money on professional parts, let your parts not necessarily break but to the point where it effects your riding from stress or so
- be cool to others but you said you use to skate so you should know some people
- make yourself a clean rider, its ok to land a trick sketchy but make sure you clean up your mess.
- Sure there is some haters but dont think of that. People will respect you if you respect them and show that you actually enjoy scootering.
-Lastly, having good style is a good way to progress but getting good is pushing yourself for something new, getting your basics dialed, and actually riding not sitting down and watching others the whole time.

don't be generic, find what you like riding best and get into your own groove, after you do that come to south bend and help me out ;P
