Skateboarding help 10 pts!!?

Question

Can someone help me? When people skateboard i always see them doing that thing were they hit the tail while not being on the board and the skateboard goes up and they grab it like when their done skateboarding. I can't do that and thats not really even a skateboarding trick i think its because im like skinny im not that strong. If I can't do that then i don't think i'll ever be able to do an ollie. Can someone help me with that because im completlely hopeless with the tricks. I can only skateboard without f\doing any tricks so that kinda sucks. Help??? 10 points

Answer 1

dont stress!! thats bad. the people you see do that took them soo long to try that. they do it again and again for days weeks, maybee even months until they get it. all you need is patience. and keep practicing your ollies...my ollies are about a foot and a half tall xD

ohh and p.s skating is all about having fun. t dosent have to be  work unless you want it to.

Answer 2

you have to stop and shift your weight to the front and catch the board

takes practice

Answer 3

Well, this is what you do...Just put your ball of your foot (right before your toes) on the edge of the tail. Swiftly hit the board so it pops hard...If it only pops like a normal pop, then you are not hitting hard enough...When you hit it hard enough, it'll naturally come to you...

This skill is in no way related to ollies though...

Answer 4

Well you can't learn anything in one day, you have to keep practicing like me to improve,first when you see a skater doing that trick watch carefully to see what she/he is doing.Then you try to do, or if you have a friend who skates, show them how you do the trick,then they might tell what you are doing wrong.
