Why cant I do a ollie? (skateboard)?

Question

The front will kinda go up but I cant get the whole board to do the complete motion. Skateboarders only please dont answer if you dont know what your talking about? Also when you pop do you have to completely touch the tail of the skateboard with the pavement.

Answer 1

Your description is a little confusing.

1) Front foot right on the front bolts, back foot on the tail with your heels hanging out

2) Pop the board and have the front foot slide up straight torwards the nose while your back feet are slightly lifted off the board a teeny bit so it doesnt get in the way of the board sliding up with your front foot

Sorry I couldn't understand your description but thats the best I can do.

Answer 2

This is as simple as I can get it:

1. Pop down hard on the ground

2. Slide your front foot up

3. Suck your knees up into your chest

4. Extend your legs

5. Bend your knees

Answer 3

I had the same problem,I had learned to ollie but my nollies were like that,your tail has to snap against the pavement(it has to hit it)and when it hits you have to jump and slide your front foot up to the nose at the same time

Answer 4

This pisses me off to no end

Go to your nearest park and ask physical human beings not cyber people
