Remember that a fakie ollie is the same as an ollie. The only difference is the direction you're traveling in when you do the ollie.
-
2
Start rolling backward. Keep your head facing the way you're rolling so you can see where you're going.
-
3
Set your feet up as you would for a normal ollie, with your front foot a little bit further toward the tail to get more power.
-
4
Do the ollie motion, but pop the tail even faster than usual and suck it up faster than usual. Because you're traveling backward, when your tail strikes the ground, it may stop the board from moving, and your momentum will start to send you flying backward. So the faster you pop and suck the board up, the smaller the chance of that happening. You'll probably fall backward a few times while you learn the timing, though.

5
Keep your head facing the direction that you're traveling in. This may cause you to turn your board slightly in the air, so watch out for landing crooked.

6
Remember that when going up, down or over anything with this trick, you've got a whole board length more to travel (just like a nollie). Go fast and snap the tail hard.

fakie ollies are easy to learn. they're also pretty fun.fakie is like switch nollie.the foot youu usualy keep back you would put it on the nose. while riding fakie, put your weight on the nose in a fast motion.when the nose hits the ground, quickly slide your back foot toward the tail. try stopping it on the hardware.suck your legs up to your body. when the board goes down slam your feet and the board on the ground. roll away with a smirk on your face.later -

1. Get up speed (I find it harder to do going slow). 2. Put your front foot on the nose anywhere it feels comfortable. Place your back foot a little more than half way. 3. Pop before you get to the ledge so you don't go off. 4. Slide your back foot like a mad man. 5. Lean you body back toward your tail so you don't fall forward. 6. Push your back foot on the tail once, in the air, to level out. 7. Float with it. 8. Bend knees when you land so you will ride away clean.

to get going backwards act like your going switch then move to the front of the board. also try to kickflip and do other tricks fakie. i found it easier to do a fakie kickflip then a regual kickflip.
