Street - feeble ledges
Park - double pegs on a quarter
Flat - footjam whips
Dirt and Jumps - X-ups

manuals weren't called manuals when I first started learning tricks. they were called 'coaster wheelies'

I learned curb endos, bunnyhops, and one handed skids/power slides.
then framestands, wheel stands, petersons.
then 180 bunnyhops probably
kick turns of course.
bar hops, bar endos, miami hoppers, decades, backwards wheelies

the list goes on and on...

the words 'street, dirt, flat and park' didn't exist as we know they today when I started riding.

yes, no footed endo is done sitting on the seat.

no handed endo is done by puting a foot on the front tire and taking your hand off.

I started with a bar spin. By jumping on the back pegs, and then having my left hand on the seat and using my right hand to spin the bar clockwise. Pull up with your left hand and lean back. Pretty easy.

Then you can do it by sitting down, but scooting back in the seat, so you can hold the seat to help you lift. Move your feet back to the back pegs so they don't tangle with the bar. And do the same thing again.

the nosepick came along after the tailwhip on flat ground. so usually, it's just called a flatland tailwhip. or ground tailwhip.

you can call it whatever you want though, i won't care.
