Skateboarding Tricks
Skateboarding tricks were introduced in Popmundo on April 10th, 2019. While it was possible to own a board for ages, players had to wait a long time before being able to perform tricks with it. There are so far 33 different tricks, which can be performed by using your board in a park where a skatepark is built.
There are two types of boards in Popmundo: the usual Skateboard and the futurist McFly Hoverboard — a direct reference to the movie Back to the Future.
Each interaction with your board will randomly make you pull off a trick. However, once a trick is mastered There are several diary entries you can get:
Diary entry | Interpretation & Effect |
---|---|
Oh no, I tripped and fell when I tried to learn the 990 Melvin Flip. Better luck next time I guess. | Failed to pull-out a trick |

I amassed a pretty big crowd doing some spectacular tricks with my Skateboard. Everyone enjoys seeing a pro in action! | Using your board in a skatepark once you mastered all the tricks. |
You can try to perform a trick once every 4 hours, and as skateboarding is an activity which implies physical effort, falls and other traumatising experiences for the body, your character must be at least 5 years old to face the skateparks.
Your first use of a board will grant you the skill Basic Skateboarding.

Obviously, you can also boost your knowledge the old fashion way by focusing your carrier on improving your skill on your own or in a university.
