Ollieing from a kicker

[mikejl29]

I know this isnt exactly a trick but I guess an ollie is. I have been able to do them standing still and moving, but when I go off the kicker we have, I sorta fall backwards and can never land it.

Could someone give me some advice for doing ollies of kickers.

yeah mike when you go for them jump forward a bit and try to pop down harder on the tail for some extra ummph!" to get off of the kicker its hard but you will get it!

[sk8erpsycho]

yes, you have to pop down extra-hard b/c if you odn't you won't really ollie, the steeper the kicker is the harder it is to ollie b/c you have to kick-down alot more

what you could do is try to ride off the end of the kicker. after a while you'll get used to going up and off a ramp and then work on ollies from that.
go to www.bonesbearings.com and click on "team" at the top then check out danny wainwright's video clip. if you look at it frame-by-frame you can see that when he pops, the board is almost completely vertical.

if you keep trying and don't get it, it might be the ramp. it might be too steep or too flat.
