How to ollie?

Question

Dose anyone know a easy way to ollie? I'm 12 and just started.

Answer 1

theres no easy way you got to follow all these steps

okay here it goes,

1.get in a comfortable stance and stay balanced put ur back foot on the tail and your front foot an inch behind the bolts

2.then you jump up literaly jump up with BOTH feet

3.right after you start jumping really FAST and HARD pop the tail so tha pop could make it jump

4.once u hear or feel that you popped the board you slide your front foot up to the nose  that makes the board get height and make the back wheels get up(wich was one of my problems)

5.once you reach the highest point of your ollie

level out the board with your back foot on the board

6.Once you land on the ground bend your knees to resort the impact of your ollie

7.just keep riding your board and dont fall off

8.P R A C T I C E

Problems:

1.sometimes you pop and your board goes flying forward,solution:thats because ur leaning back too much keep your balance

2.you pop and land but board doesnt go in the air,solution:your not sliding your front foot up.

3.you try to ollie and try to pop and slide your front foot to the nose but wont get to the air,solution:you think your popping but your not push with your back foot harder(wich was also my problem and got it after doing this)

hope i helped. :)

Answer 2

theres no 'easy' way to ollie. you just have to commit and practice as much as you can.

1. put your front foot right behind the front bolts. 2. put your back toe on the tip of the tail. 3. jump up, quickly raise your front foot and pop the tail at the same time. 4. quickly raise your back foot. 5. land

Answer 3

i started around the same time you are and have been for 3 years. you need to place your back foot on the end and hit down quickly, key word quickly, and move your front foot from the middle upper part of the board to the tip so the side of your foot catches on the nose. make sure that when you hit the back to move your front foot up as fast as you can and shift your weight some forward. even though it is harder to get air on the grass that is where i started then moved to non moving concrete then gradually started moving faster and faster. good luck

Pop - Jump - Slide . . .

Pop the tail of your board, jump, then slide your foot up the board. . . easy.
