"Alright, so I'm going to be telling you what an Ollie is. An Ollie in snowboarding is pretty much just having board control. After you've taken a few runs down the mountain, taken some carves and you know your edges. You're getting the feel for your snowboard. You're probably going to want to pop. You want to get up off those little bumps and get over things and jump on the boxes and stuff. That first step of taking those to the next level is an Ollie. An Ollie is pretty much where your weight is just on your back foot. You can start off on flat ground. Just like this. Your weight on your back foot, hop, and that's it. It's like swhssss. You could do this on flat ground hundreds of times. It just gets you better and better at your board control. Next step, you want to take it up the mountain and try it going down a little slope. Once you're on the slope, you're going downhill already, so it's easy to pop onto your tail and just lift that front foot up and get it a little flat based. Back down to the ground. That's what an Ollie is in snowboarding."
