Help me get down my ollie?

Question

I am poping as hard as I can. But I have trouble sliding my foot on the grip tape half of the time. But most of the time when I can get it to slide I still can't get the back wheels up off the ground? Help?

Answer 1

try jumping as high as you can and jump forward. your momentum will guide you the rest. you have the pop down just keep working on it. it could also be the board. maybe the tail or pop is worn down?

Good luck

Answer 2

Its really hard to explain how to correctly do an ollie. I would really recommend looking it up on youtube.

It sounds like your not "jumping" because you have to lift your weight off of the board when you pop in order to get the board up.

just dragging your foot across the tape isnt going to help much when theres weight on the back.

I wouldnt classify it as jumping off the board or anything its just you need to get up in the air
