theres about 123480723452875 posts on Ollie issues but,,, here we go again... whats happening is you dont have confidence. You may think you do but deep down ur bodys saying no. So no matter what force your back foot on the back trucks even if you think you'll fall just do it anyway. Cuts heal, Chick dig Broken bones(lol) ....but in all seriousness. Just force it there keep going at the curb over and over and over constantly trying to force ur foot on. Then one day you will land it, it all comes with practice, Try shifting your weight forward a little to


As for goin off curbs all you have to do is manual off the curb really and stand on the trucks, if u cnat land it then its relly a confidence problem. You just gotta force yourself to sya on it




Thats alll I can really say man, just stay at it (btw u wont break ur bones by ollieing off curbs)

If you back foot is landing at the side of your board I've found your problem. You're not olleing. Anyways here's some advice. Learn your moving ollies really good, then when you try and ollie onto stuff just bend your knees and once your front wheel is about to get to the curb pop drag jump land. You have to lift your back foot up just do it like steve said. If you don't lift your back foot up your not gonna get anywhere.

It's hard at first. It's a mind thing. But that's all it is: A mind thing.

Who cares if you fall; you won't die? Once you conquer that thought, you'll find that you'll hardly ever fall at all. I started ollieing little lines and cracks in the parchment, and when I started curbs, I just had the same thought going through my mind as I did when I ollied the curbs: "Just tuck your legs up."

1. pop your foot... dont just stomp it. thats was my first mistake.. i didnt understand you gotta pop your foot up.
2. you got the front foot right so keep doin that.
3. watch your feet. your learning, its best if you see what your doin. sounds like you got your eyes closed... i mean its an ollie.
4 when you see your feet are square and your past the curb, STOMP. stomping anything IMO is the most important part.

if you stomp and the board flies and hits someone in the face, just laugh and try again.

Thats weird. When I started my ollies, I started them on curbs and boxes. I started big I guess. :D


Anyways, just pop, tuck, stomp, bend your knees, and ride away.

ok my brother had the same problem i read in another forum that its called "chickenfoot" and all you gotta go is focus on your foot stayin on the board
and if doesnt help just try and move to the front part of the board

[WTF??]

just practice you ollies untill you have them so you dont have to think of the motions and such, and then just do it while going off a curb, not that hard man...
