Snowboard Ollie: Back Foot

Video Transcript

"First thing you need to know about Ollieing is learning about how your back leg works. How the muscles are so important on how much pressure you put onto your back foot. When you're Ollieing, it's all about all your weight on that back foot. Your front foot has much nothing to do with it. It's just the pop on your back foot. If you're too much on your toe edge, you're going to slip out. If you're too much on your heel edge, you're definitely going to slip out as well. You want to be flat based, with your weight all on your back leg. This is my back leg. I'm going down the hill and I'm putting all my weight here on this back foot. I'm going to pop up and just Ollie. It understands how that muscle works in your leg because it gets you your pop. It gets you up there and teaches you how to Ollie. Once again, an Ollie is focusing on your board control; just popping off your heel, lifting your front foot, straightening it out, popping up and back down. Flat ground tricks, going down the hill if you?re coming down, you want to keep your speed up. Same thing, back foot, weight on your back foot. Pop and you're good."
