Answer 1

idk anything about skateboarding. but watch rocket power! =)

Answer 2

pop the tail (with ur backfoot) and slide with ur frontfoot at the same time. its like jumping one foot at a time. after u pop the tail bring ur backfoot up. thats the best way i can describe it. Good luck!

Answer 3

Well basically, an ollie is just jumping with a few movements on the way up.

First of all, you need to put your feet in the correct position, i have mine on the center of the tail cause i get more pop there and its really stable, and my front foot is in the middle slanted a little bit and my toes are in line with the rail of the board. But some people like to have their back foot on the tip of the tail. Do which is comfortable to you.

Second, you want to squat and as you're coming up jumping you want to pop the tail with your back foot when you're knees are still bent, and you're still jumping at this moment aswell, and slide your front up towards the nose. Which levels out the board. You're back foot is in the air at this moment, you stop sliding you're front foot when you're board reaches you're back foot then slam the board down or the landing.

Congratulations, if you did this right then you just landed the ollie.

Hope this helped dude. Message me if it did or didn't.

Everyone always says "jump and hit the tail on the ground" but what is important to remember is WHEN to hit the tail. It's all about timing.  Your lead foot goes in the center of the deck and the ball of your foot goes on the edge of the tail. Crouch down, throw your body upwards and just as your legs are straightening out, slam all that downward energy in to hitting the tail. (This is the moment you are weightless but still on the ground.)  Tuck your feet up in mid-air and the board will follow. Follow These instructions and it will happen.

Answer 6

skateboarding is so pointless

Answer 7

try this

place your feet in the concaves (the part where the nose and tail start to curve) so ur feet will be spread and ur toes are pointin straight

make sure you look straight ahead to where ur toes are pointing

now  push on ur tail and quickly push on ur nose

dont worry about jumpin

if you do this quick enough you will be off the ground for about a second

keep practicing this and eventually u will be fast enough to use the technic that everyone else is tellin you about where you slide ur foot and all that

also if u dont wanna fall try takin a skateboard with no trucks onto some carpet and practice the slideing foot technic that everyone else told you  

Answer 8

well before you squat to jump up and put your trick into action, you first got to get your feet positioned and comfortable,after you feel you got a good grip of the skateboard with your feet you squat and explode up...then land it, and you did an ollie:)

WOO!

hope i helped you!

Answer 9

sit down on the board and then push yourself into a busy intersection and i guarantee you'll pop up on your board
