bend your knees, jump a little, slide that front foot, jump off with the back, bend your knees in mid air, land on the truck and bend your knees once again.-here are some common problems people have when trying to ollie, and some ideas that might help you:\n\nChickenfoot\nThis is where you pop up into the air, but when you land, for some reason one of your feet always seems to land on the ground. The most common reason for this is that you don’t feel safe, and you are pulling one foot out to catch yourself. You might not even be aware of it. The best way to deal with this problem is to focus on keeping that foot on the board. Punch it if you have to. Imagine it nailed to the board. Be aware that you are catching yourself, and just stop doing it. If that doesn't work, then you can see which foot stays on the board, and next time focus on keeping that foot on and let the other foot come off. Then, try both.\n\nLow Ollies\nThis can happen for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one is that you are not crouching low enough before your ollie, and not pulling your feet high enough after you jump. When you crouch down, try and touch the ground. When you jump, try to hit yourself in the chest with your knees. Both knees. Don’t worry about falling. That'll happen sometimes – that’s just part of skateboarding.\n\nLosing Your Board in Midair\nSometimes skaters lose thier boards in mid air while ollying. If this happens to you, you may be kicking the board away while in the air, or taking your feet off of your board. Try and make sure to keep yourself and your feet above the skateboard.

1. Set your feet up like you would for an ollie.\n \n2. Place the ball of your front foot toward the middle of the board and slightly below the front bolts.\n \n3. Hit your tail as you would for an ollie, but instead of dragging your front foot up the board, drag it toward the side of the board with a flicking motion. The faster the flick, the faster the flip. It's all in the ankle.\n \n4. Stay over the board as you are jumping and the board is flipping (it's important not to push down on the board once you're up so that it can continue to rise).\n \n5. Let the board hit your back foot once it has flipped completely. This is called catching the flip. Your front foot should not be far behind in getting back on the board, but the back foot usually catches it first. This allows you to control the trick on the way down.\n \n6. Land with your feet as close to the bolts as possible.\n \n7. Do another one.

You got to slide your foot up with the edge of your shoe. Not with the bottom or your shoe. Make sure you jump just before the tail hits the ground so you get a nice pop.

No, don;t lean foward! That leads to many bad habits trust me. Plus it makes landing other tricks hard. You want to stay as centered over the board as possible. Use your front foot to flatten your ollie after you pop it, not your whloe body.  Also you dont have to pop hard, all you need is to get the motion down. So when your trying to ollie just do this.\n\nMake sure you a centered on your board, not leaning in any crazy positions.\n\nMake sure your shoulders are parallel with your board.\n\nBend your knees with out leaning too much in any dirrection, dont bend too far either just far enough that youre comfortable\n\nget a good, solid pop, , dont pop as hard as you can. you will have less control.\n\nslide your foot and still, dont lean anywhere, just imagine your jumping straight up into the air.\n\nI find it also helps to sort of raise your arms up after you pop, the energy of your arms should help give your ollie morre height and can help you stay balanced in the air.\n\nfocus on landing solid... all 4 wheels hitting the ground at once\n\nbend knees for impact\n\nrepeat untill youve got it down.\n\nRemember you probably wont get it a first, just dont get mad, it will be easier to progress if your enjoying what youre doing. It also helps to break this down into little parts, focusing on one aspect of the trick at a time, and then you put them all together and you have a good ollie. yay

sometimes i just go fast on the skateboard and when im going fast at the same time and I push down a little hard and then try to do a ollie or if this does not work do this:\nEvery trick in skateboarding owes a large debt to the grandfather and basic building block of all moves, the ollie. The idea is simple: just get rolling and jump with the skateboard under foot, after that, the variations are endless. You have the kickflip, the shove-it, the nollie, the impossible, and a myriad of grabs, but there’s just one problem. It’s not quite as easy as it may seem, and if you have gone through skateboarding 101 with the aid of the newest hit video game, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, you may be in for a rude awakening. \n\n\nThe ollie is a simple trick, but it does take a long time to master. The first thing that you may want to keep in mind is that it takes a serious toll upon your unsuspecting footwear. There are special shoes made for skateboarding that are designed with extra padding to compensate for the friction created by sliding your foot along the griptape (a sandpaper like material found on top of any serious skateboard). You may want to get a pair, but they tend to be a bit pricey. It is also a good idea to start off on gravel or some other surface that doesn’t allow the board to move around much. You should work up to performing an ollie while moving after you have it perfected in this way. \n\n\n \nThe first step is to place your feet properly upon the skateboard. There are two typical stances in skateboarding. When your left foot is at the back, you are skating "goofy-footed", and when your right foot is at the back, you are said to be skating "regular". Either way is just as good; all that matters is what comes more comfortable and natural to you. You back foot should be on the tail at the point right before it hangs off the edge, and your front foot should be about halfway down the skateboard. You may feel a little unbalanced like this, but it will become easier with time. \n\n\nNext, you must crouch down slightly, bending at the knees (you can put your hands out slightly to help keep your balance). The basic ollie involves a quick shift in balance. Start off leaning back with a strong push down upon the tail so it touches the ground. Just as quickly as you have done that, jump up while sliding your front foot up towards the nose or front of the skateboard. Your board will be at an angle by now. The last part involves pushing down with your front foot to level out the board. The higher you jump, the higher your ollie will be. You must do all these steps in one single fluid motion, and this should result in a snapping of your board upon the ground causing it to jump up into the air underneath your feet. That’s all there is to it. \n\n\nIt may sound simple, but learning how to ollie takes a very long time – usually as much as six months to learn properly. After you perfect the ollie, you can work on height by stacking other skateboards (or anything else) and jumping them. Once you perfect this all-important trick, the world of skateboarding will be entirely open to you. All it takes is a good deck and a whole lot of determination!

- Bend your wrist back as far as possible and then snap it as fast as you can at the top of your shot.\n\n- Keep your elbows tucked.\n\n- Release the ball with your fingertips.\n\n- Most importantly you have to feel comfortable doing it or it just won't fall in. \n\n- AND PRACTICE IT A LOT!

well, did u did it the right way? ok here's a tip if you want to jump. this trick is called an "ollie." an "ollie" is by taping the end of the board off the ground or on a ramp. by doing this you well have one foot by the tail of the board and the other foot in the middle of the board. also, bend ur knee while doing this trick also. ok since u got the position, go do it. don't do it while ur moving because this made cause injuries. ok get balance on the board while doing this. tap the tail of the board and jump a little bit and that will make the "ollie." if u want to make a flip. i'll tell u this is complicated to do. what kind of flip do u want any way? because the "ollie" the the easiest trick. do u want me to teach u how because i'm been skating for 1 year and 5 months and i'm a pro. it's easily if u r confidante on doing it and hangin out with the pros and also lookin up on the internet for tricks help.

If you have to ask, start with knee pads.\n\n# 1) Push at a comfortable speed, remember the faster you go the better the pop.\n# 2) Place your front foot near the middle of your board, about two inches under your bolts. Put your back foot on the tail.\n# 3) Squat, so you can spring yourself up.\n# 4) Kick your back foot down so you can pop as you jump up, your front foot should rub upward on your griptape.\n# 5) Make sure you tuck your knees to your chest, picking up your back foot as well to level the board at a good height. REMEMBER you are jumping forward.\n# 6) Then come down comfortably, both feet on the board. It will look better if both your feet are over the bolts as well as lessen the stress of impact\n# 7) Finally bend your legs as you touch down to give it that smooth style and roll away stocked.

Okay...backhandspring. First off when your standing on the floor you always want to bend your knees just a bit, thats what i do. Stick your arms out. Then swing your arms back then up and arch your back. If you jump high enough your legs will be able to get over your head, and always keep your arms straight don't bend them. Im bad at explaining sorry... Good luck though for level 4!

Like an ollie but you slide your foot up the edge of the board.\n\nA heel flip is the same, but up the other side of the board, with your heel instad of toe.\n\nMake sure you pop the board good and don't miss with your foot or you will get it in the balls.

practice....its a little easier if you have a rear shock, but there is a delay with the shock due to more pre-load thats slows you down, so going over obsticles are timed differently,  i prefer hard tail.  level your cranks parellel to the ground (or close) push down with  your weight bending your knees, into the bike towards the ground, if youre using platform pedals angle your toes down so you have some grip on the pedals and shoes. after you preload down on the bike, use the energy from the preload to pull the bike upwards with your feet hooked to the pedals and up on the handlebar.  like your jumping with your bike under you.  you dont have to be going fast, you can even do it stalling (being still). and practice

Put your arms up, lean forward, put your arms on the ground and push off the ground hard!  This should work.  Think hand  hand, foot foot, hand up, hand up.

well that sucks doesnt it. try to get your back foot on first. then your front. if the board is like goin out in front of you that means you need the flick it a bit less. the slower it flips the easier to land. my opinion? anyways just commit and dont puss out of it. if you dont commit then you wont land. commiting is everything. just try.

Practice, practice, practice....The trick to ollying is shifting your weight back and forward very quickly while controlling the board with your feet.  \n\n1. Make sure you have some good grip tape on the front of your board and good shoes that will grab it.  This will help keep the board tracking with your front foot.  \n\n2. Place your front foot just forward of the middle of the board and your rear foot at the tip of the tail.  I always tilt my rear heel up so I have just my toes on the tail.  This gives me the maximum "kick".\n\n3. Gain control of your board.  I've found that it is actually a bit easier to have the board slowly rolling forward on a level surface -- not too fast though.  \n\n4. With your feet in the above position, bend your knees slightly with your shoulders bent slightly over your front foot.  Your weight should be over your front foot.  \n\n5. Stomp your rear foot down on the tail and shift your weight backwards.\n\n6. As the board "pops" up use your front foot to keep it from flying out from under you.  This is done by keeping your foot flush with the board.  In actuality the angle of the board will be parallel with the side of your foot.  You can tell when you are doing it right when you get a scuff mark on your shoe right around the outside your little pinky toe.  \n\n7. Land it!  Push the top of your front foot out against the board to rotate it back underneath you.  By starting with your weight slightly forward and keeping your front foot flush with board in flight, your momentum should carry you and your board forward at the same pace allowing you to land smoothly.  \n\nUntil you are ready to get advanced with kick flips and such, you will know you are doing it right when the board never seems to leave your feet, but just becomes a single fluid motion.  You might want to exaggerate these steps as you practice this technique to get an idea of how the mechanics work.\n\nGood luck!

1.  You need to be able to ollie 1st.\n2.  Place your front foot on the side of the board below the truck blots.\n3.  Do a normal ollie.\n4.  after the tail clicks on the ground & you are airborne - kick you front foot straight down & out just a little.\n5.  The board should flip and you need to have your feet spaced apart ready to land.\n6.  Land it.\n7.  Practice, Practice, Practice & Patience.

In order to kickflip you first need to perfect your ollie.  Once you have take a push, ollie and instead of sliding your front foot straight up slide on an angle to about your bolts and flick your ankle where the nose meets the flat section of the board.  You may have to practice it a hundred times before you land it.  Skating is about dedication.
