'Ello, I searched the boards and found nothing on this. I'm wondering how to get more length in my fakie ollie. I've got a nice height on it and tried to fakie some 3 and 4 sets today for the first time. I can't get enough length to clear 'em. Any suggestions? Oh and getting lots of speed isn't helping, I just screw up the trick.

Yeah lean back to your tail so you kind of throw the board in front of you. I hate doing fakie tricks, I'm terrible at getting distance. Nollie is for me.

when you pop your tail and drag your foot up think about keeping it a litle ahead of you. kind of pop the board so it stay under you plus a little bit more.

they are pretty hard to explain, you just gotta practice and get used to them. and if your trying stairs get used to riding away switch, thats how i hurt myself on the first set i tried fakie.

i'm not good a fakie but here's how i do mine:
1) roll along fakie stance
2) as you are avbout to pop, roll the board in front of you
3) immediately after that pop the mose on the ground and pull back with your rear foot
4) level out in the air
5) roll away stoked that i actually managed to nail one
