*Kick (キック, Kikku): A sharp kick that applies his signature karate technique. Neo-Shocker's Ari Commandos would be killed by a single kick.
*Punch (パンチ, Panchi): A punch with a fist harder than steel. A single punch can punch through a steel plate 30 centimeters thick. Although its destructive power is slightly less than that of a kick, it can knock down an Ari Commando with a single blow.
*Sky Kick (スカイキック, Sukai Kikku): The main special move, used as a signature move against many Kaijins, is a standard move in which Skyrider jumps up to 200 meters, somersaults forward in the air, and then plummets down with a kick that concentrates all the energy in his body. Its weakness is that once used, it takes 0.5 seconds to fill up with energy. 
**Big Revolving Sky Kick (大回転スカイキック, Dai Kaiten Sukai Kikku): A technique acquired through training with Stronger. It is more powerful by performing more forward somersaults in the air than usual. It was used to destroy Sai Dump and Hirubiran.

**Sky Great Turning Kick (スカイ大旋回キック, Sukai Dai Senkai Kikku): This is one of the 99 techniques, in which it circled around the enemy in a Sailing Jump and, after a moment's pause, performs a Sky Kick.
**Sky Double Kick (スカイダブルキック, Sukai Daburu Kikku): A kick of his own against an enemy's kick, reversing in reaction, and kicking once more. Used to destroy Abunger.
*Sky Punch (スカイパンチ, Sukai Panchi): Punches while leaping from the air.
*Sky Chop (スカイチョップ, Sukai Choppu): A chop fired while leaping from the air. Its destructive power can be enhanced by the electromagnetic joints in its body.

*Sky Drill (スカイドリル, Sukai Doriru): Rotates arms to drill holes in walls. Mainly used when escaping from enemy hideouts.

*Sailing Jump (セイリングジャンプ, Seiringu Janpu): Sailors glide by using a gravity-reducing device to reduce the gravity around their bodies. During flight, the muffler around the neck is extended to balance the flight.
