can some 1 help me

[Tha_one]

I have been skateboarding for about 2 weeks now and i was wondering if some 1 could tell me how to ollie. :confused:

[Flip Boy]

right

u need to

1. start with your foot on the tail and the other just infront of the middle of the board

2.then push (pop) down on the back and quickly sliiide your foot up the board then land (hopefully) an roll away!!!:D

[sk8ter 7]

do exactly what flip said, but i would learn to ollie while moving cause after you , learn to ollie while being still, its gonna be like learning to oliie all over again when you try it while moving...

[skate_boy]

first of all learn ollie in the place and than when u moving
follow the next steps and u will be the master in no time !!!

Place your feet as followed: Back foot on the tail and the front in the middle of your board. With the back foot quickly pop your foot down and snap it back up. At the same time you are popping you should be Dragging your front foot up the board. As soon as your front foot reaches the front truck you need to but your back foot on the back trucks and push down. The ground is coming so bend your knees. The key word is DRAG you have to drag your foot up a lot of people just slam their for as soon as they pop but you need to DRAG. Usually what happens is you learn to slam your foot down as soon as you pop I can't say enough about this because almost everyone slams. YOU NEED TO DRAG!! Another thing that happens but not as much and this bad habit can be easily fixed. When you pop sometimes your board doesn't get in the air because you didn't snap you foot back up. You need to put your foot back as quick as possible. From hear I can't tell you much more you have to practice, practice, practice. If your still slamming your foot not DRAGGING then you probably know that I feel like I am talking to a brick wall or lamp post. You need to DRAG. If you want to get a higher Ollie then you have to pop quicker and DRAG higher on your board. Start small Ollie hockey sticks around 8 sticks is usually a deck high so from their on you need to stack decks cause it is easier to put a deck up then to put 8 hockey sticks stacked up. I good thing to start doing is Ollie stairs. Like 3 sets and 5's and stuff like that try to Ollie of high drop offs and don't be afraid. Try it if you have a chance that you could possibly land the worst thing is not to try.

Good Luck!

[aronsamma]

JUMP. thats the most important part. when i was learning how to ollie, i would stand on the board, pop it and drag my foot, but no one ever told me that i had to jump. i thought that the board would push me up or something. so just remember to jump, and pop the tail. dragging your foot and stuff will come later

hey man, you don't have to worry about moving or not moving at first, do whatever feels comfortable to you, if you feel like you'd first like to learn an ollie still and you odn't care if you have to re-learn it go for it, its your decision, not any of these other guys, its all about what you feel comfortable doing, but if you want to take advice you "should" learn moving, but its up to you

EXACTLY, i hope all of these explinations (cant spell) that these peoples gave you is helping you.

I think that some of you guys need to be more specific when you explain things, it confuses the hell outta me.
