Skateboard trick: ollie troubles?

Question

when i try to ollie, i pop my board and kick the front of it, like ur supposed to. but my back foot stays on the back of the board and it doesnt get enough pop. so my question is, when do you jump while ur doing an ollie? if u can, please list steps to do an ollie. thanx

Answer 1

Slam your back foot down, get as much pop as you can. Your board will fly up, drag your front foot up the board and level it out in the air then land on the ground. To gain more height bend your back leg more, because that stops you from getting higher. The higher you bend your knees the higher you get!

Make sure you've got a good surface and good pop and then bend your knees! It takes lots of practice!

Answer 2

to preform an ollie first set your feet up in the position. like you would normaly do. next. pop the tail. but after you pop it the back wheels well leave the floor. but your tail stays on the ground. thats when you drag it up with your foot. and yes you do jump when you ollie.

Answer 3

you don't necessarily need to pop the tail hard. what you do is pop it slightly so that the nose will go up. once it pops, do a jump or hop with your back foot to get you and your board in the air. the board is still kin of vertical at this point. slide your front foot forward slightly...just enough to level out the board flat. when you and your board start to go down, start straightening out your legs.

Ollie is usually the hardest trick to learn. don't stress yourself.
