Ollie help on skateboard!

Question

Okaii i have a skate board and im kinda new to it, I already know how to skate while standing up, and im learning how to do an ollie. I already read the steps on how to do an ollie, but idk if im doing it right so here my question. When you do an ollie, and you and ur board is in the air, is your board supposed to flip in the air, then land the right way, and then u land on it? Or do you just simply jump in the air with your board?? Thanks and answer that im looking for gets chosen as best answer!!

Answer 1

an ollie is a simple jump in the air like yhis

and heres how to do it

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

You are supposed to be in the air with the board right under your feet, actually your feet are supposed to stay on the board.

Some tips on doing it right are:

PSP

Pop-Pop the board down with your back foot

Slide-Slide you front foot up to the tip of the board

Push-Push down with your front foot on the tip of the board it level out

Do this very quickly (:

PS- when the board flips then you land on it, it is called a kickflip or a heelflip, depending on which way the board flipped!
