Skateboarders; Any Tips On How To Do An Ollie?

Question

Just started boarding and I can't for the life of me do an Ollie...anyone have a hint on how they broke through and did their first one?

Answer 1

First, put your front foot on the center of the board, then place the back foot on the tail of the board.

Then, crouch down, but keep your balance.

after that, pop the tail of your board (jump with your back foot) on the ground and slide your front foot upwards along the board so it evens out in the air   \______/  then stop sliding your foot when it reaches the       O       O front bolts.

practice a lot, as this trick is all about timing. also, if you land correctly. you hear a satisfying *chuk*.

Answer 2

Perhaps you missed the title of this category?  Bicycling? Not skateboards?
