Question

My Stance iS gOOFY

Answer 1

An ollie is basically just a jump.

You bend your knees, and then you lean more onto the back of the board, and flick the nose of your board with your front foot.

if you want to do an ollie with an angle, you flick the nose of the board in the direction you want to turn.

you can practice this on carpet or grass until you get the hang of it

good luck  : )

Answer 3

In as much detail as I can explain it in

1. Stand on your skateboard natural stance

2. Move you front foot behind the front bolts (farther back the higher  potential of the ollie but will be harder it is to control.)

3. Point your front foot forward slightly so its in a comfortable position

4. Your back foot should be on the tip of 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 edge.

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

6. Now bend down for a bit, and then jump up, mainly off your back foot. As you jump, your back foot should push the tail down

7. The tail should hit the ground hard causing it to bounce back up. Done correctly the board will already be in the air.

8. Your feet should be in the air over the board. With the board at a 65-85° angle to the ground and now about a 1/2-1in. in the air from the pop alone

9. 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 to the front bolts (this will add height and even out the board at the same time).

10. Keeping your shoulders and your body straight while still in the air, bring your knees up preferable all the way up to your chest (but that will take practice). This will give the board room to get higher.

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

12. After the skateboard reaches its peak height, Start to straighten your legs abit to bring the board down

13.Bend your knees once more to absorb the impact of the landing as soon as the wheel touch the ground.

Its all about practice, dedication, and commitment. Itll take time u wont land it rite away
