[Sk8] How to Ollie

How to Ollie

The ollie is a skateboarding trick where the rider and board leap into the air.

The Ollie is one of the most important tricks in skateboarding as you need it to do other tricks like the kickflip.

Step One:

Place your back foot at the tail of your skateboard and your front foot near the middle of your board.

Step two:

When you have positioned your foot, bend your knees [The more you bend your new, the higher you go]

Kick your backfoot down so you can pop and jump up, you should slide your front foot up your griptape.

Step three:

Bring your news up and try to get it to reach your chest, During the ollie, try to keep your shoulders and body level and dont lean toward the tail or nose of the skateboard to much.

When you are as high as you can go, level both of your feet on top of the skateboard.

Step Four:

As you fall down towards the ground, bend your knees again. That is IMPORTANT! If you dont you will hurt your knees upon impact.

Step Five:

Take everything slow! Dont hurry, practice on a carpet or grass!

It may seem hard but practice.

Note:

If you lose the board in mid air:

You may be kicking your board away.

Landing on one foot:

If this happens, it can be because your scared, Its good to be scared! Skateboarding is dangerous. This is a common problem but if your not landing on the skateboard with any of your feet, your doing it wrong.You need to practice and master your fear.
