Question

Can someone try to explain how to ollie?

Answer 1

yo it's not that easy to explain i'll try but youtube is your best source. Ok first start wit one of your feet on the tail and the other in the middle of the trucks. Next you have to kick with the leg on the tail, as your board is going up raise your other leg and put your foot sideways. this is wat brings the board up with you. After that jump up and level out the board in mid air. I know this dosn;t help much but it's actually really hard to explain. Also very hard to learn. It'll take a while so dn't get fustrated and good luck.

Answer 2

What's that my love?

Answer 3

okay to ollie you need to pop the board and while you pop it flick it or slide with the side of your feet.

Answer 4

The problem most people have with learning to ollie is that people try to explain it in like 4 steps when there really needs to be a lot more so here’s how to ollie In as much detail as I can possibly explain it in.

1. place you front foot between the middle of the board and the front bolts (farther back the higher potential of the Ollie but will be harder to control.)

2. Your back foot should be on the tail also in a comfortable position. The edge of your shoe should be rite at the edge of the tail, try to line your foot up with the curve of the tail.

(Same thing as with ur front foot: the farther back the higher potential, but harder to control.)

3. Shift most of your weight to your back foot while keeping the board completely stable.

4. Now bend ur knees low and then jump up mainly off of your back foot. As you jump, your back foot should push the tail down as hard as u can.

5. The tail should hit the ground hard causing it to bounce back up (this is called a pop) make the pop hard, and fast. Done correctly the board will already be in the air. If the back wheels haven’t come up by now the ollie will be nearly impossible.

Your back foot should be in the air above the board. With the board at a 65-85° angle to the ground and now about a 1/2-1inch in the air from the pop alone.

6. Now to get height, roll your front foot onto its side a bit so that the side of the sole of your shoe (not the whole side of your shoe, just the sole) is in contact with the grip tape and slide it forward up to the front bolts. (This will add height and even out the board at the same time)

7. While keeping your shoulders and your body straight while still in the air, bring both your knees up, best if they’re all the way up to your chest (but not all the way to ur chest when ur starting just enough so itll have room). This will give the board room to come up without ur feet stopping it halfway through.

Lean forward just a bit throughout the Ollie to keep from landing it in a manual.

8. After the skateboard reaches the peak of the ollie, start to straighten your legs abit to bring the board down

9. As soon as the board comes down bend ur knees to absorb the impact of that landing and to keep balanced.

10. Try to land with ur feet directly over both sets of bolts; this will be more balanced and less likely to snap the board.

Skating is all about practice, and commitment. It will take time u will not land it rite away

The key is to take all these steps and combined them into one smooth motion.

Practicing in the grass, or while holding onto something like a table or fence can help you if you have problems, but you shouldn’t rely on these all the time.
