"Now that we've got you up in the air on an Ollie. You're in the air, flat based and you've got to land. Pretty much, you just bring your front foot down, follow it through and stomp it. Just land flat based and you're done. You did an Ollie. You're done with it. Pop off your heels, flat based, come back down and straight back down. Just remember, when you're landing that Ollie. Get your composure right, keep your balance up. Keep your knees down. Focus on that front foot being straight. This is one of the first tricks people learn in snowboarding. As soon as you've got this, you can move onto the next step and keep on going. When landing Ollies and Nollies, you have the same momentum going. You landing here, you're leaving off here. If you just get your balance focused, flat based, keep your feet coming back and forth. Pop off, pop off. It's pretty much the same movement. You can move onto the next trick after you that. Land them perfect right away."
