on 7/8/2007 The key: watch videos of the ollie because timing is extremely important. I read hundreds of tips and none of them gave me any hint as to the proper timing of critical moments. Let me give you one here just as an example. Your back leg and foot will be fully extended the precise moment the tail of your board strikes the ground. When you come up from your crouch at the beginning of your jump the tail should not (I repeat) should not be moving downward. In fact, your legs will be almost 3/4ths fully extended before the tail even begins to move downward. Now go watch some videos of the ollie instead of wasting your time here.

When you begin to come up from your crouch at the beginning of the jump the tail of your board shoult not (I repeat) should not be moving downward. In fact, your legs will be about 3/4s the way fully extended before the tail should even begin to move downward. Now go watch some videos for yourself instead of waste your time here.
on 6/27/2007 Ollieing is very hard at first, but becomes eaiser once you are better. Ollies lead to a lot of other tricks in skateboarding.
