Ollie Problems

[stefanieh]

I've read up many guides on how to do an ollie, but I just can't get the back of my board to get off the ground... help?

thx

You're not jumping. Get off the board and jump for a while, it helped me. (no joke.)

1. Pop the board
2. Slide your front foot up AND jump at the same time.
3. Land.

practice.

if you understand how an ollie works, all you can really do is practice. and it takes years to get a good ollie, so dont expect much too soon.

Thanx very much :)

Get offline and go practice. like spenser said you need to understand an ollie first. the board is popping up and by sliding your foot forward it levels out the deck.

Welll i sort of disagree with you. i learned how to ollie 2 decks in 3 months. but i agree, it takes a while to get an ollie, so just practice!!!

Just jump! Seriously, Just jump, make sure your back leg is in the air too. This was probably my main error when I started to learn the ollie. It's all about timing to, you must pop and jmp at the same part. You will get used to it. Keep trying, it came to me one day and I was so happy I didn't give up.

jump! jump! jump! suck your back and your front leg up to your chest. ( Well you don have to do that) but just suck your legs up enough so that you get some air!

I just say jump high, pop hard, and suck your back foot up as high as you can.

To get ^^^these down, however, youll have to practice.
