How to Ollie on a Skateboard

Ollieing is the main requirement for many other air and flip tricks, such as the kickflip, or nosegrab.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Skateboard
• Ramp (optional)
• Safety Pads

1. Positioning: Place your back foot at the tail of the skateboard, and the front foot right below the back screws.
2. With your back foot, push down as hard as you can on the tail.
3. In the same motion, slide your front foot to the top right section on the board.
4. If you do this on a fast motion, the bard will "pop" in the air.
5. To land it, bring your front foot back down, and your back foot to the tail again.
