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.

the easiest thing is get a skateboard and practice, make sure you give a little bit of oomph while you skate, and don't go too fast though!

Assuming that you can ollie, start with kickflips, heelflips, frontside and backside 180's, frontside 5-0's, frontside 50-50's, frontside and backside boardslides. After you get that stuff down, you can step up to varial flips, 360 flips, frontside flips, backside flips, and maybe some some switch and nollie tricks. Just watch alot of skate videos and try to emulate what you see. You can also check out Transworld Skateboarding magazine.   They have alot of trick tips. Have fun, because that is what skateboarding is all about!\nwww.skateboarding.com

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.

Before you start an ollie you must first set your feet up with the front foot near the middle of the board and the back foot near the edge of the tail (check out some videos on youtube for refference). Lean forward, almost as if you're trying to look over the nose (front end) of the board. Now push down quickly with your back leg, slamming the tail into the ground, and slide the edge of your front foot up the griptape. This should cause the board to propell upward due to the acceleration of your foot and the friction of the griptape rubbing against your shoe. Level out your back foot and try to compact your body into as small fo a ball as possible (to get the most out of your ollie). Try to land on the bolts as this is both more stable and less stressing on the board.

set new goals:\nex:\nOllie, Kick-flip .....watever you want to do in skateboarding...\nwrite them down, put them somewhere you can see them everyday...as you start to acheive new goals, you will feel satisfied with what you did and you will keep setting new goals and putting them up to see untill the time comes where you feel like you've achieved enough goals in skateboarding and the passion is lost

When you try to do an ollie hold on to a rail and that might help. Pop up your board and then with the opposite foot, Push down. Practice makes perfect, so keep trying! ;)

That is definately not a ollie.  I think you would be talking about a kick flip.  An ollie is when you kick down on your back leg causing the board to do a pop up action.\n\nYou would use an ollie to jump over things, or onto things, or etc.

First off, your landing is only as good as your take-off so be sure you have a good jump that you can launch from in a stable way. You always want to be centered, no leaning back, no shoulders forward. Stay centered on your board, always. \n\nIn the beginning, do not pop off the lip of the jump, that is something you'll want to work up to as you become more comfortable in the air. Pick a jump with a size you will be comfortable clearing and watch other people hitting this jump so you can better gauge the speed you'll need to clear it. When hitting a jump I've never hit before I'll often "shadow" someone who is hitting the jump so I can get a good feel for the speed required to clear it. \n\nAs you approach the lip of the jump, get in a "ready position" with your knees bent and your body loose. As you come off the lip bring your knees up a bit and try to stay small in the air. As you begin to come down, extend your legs to meet the landing and as you land absorb the impact by bending your knees. You always want to be centered on your board when doing this. Too much weight back and you'll wash out onto your butt and too much weight forward you could either tumble or catch an edge.\n\nAs you get more comfortable with this feeling, you'll want to start "popping" off the lip of the jump. This is an ollie-ing motion similar to an ollie on a skateboard. Basically, as you hit the lip you weight the tail of your board and then quickly unweight it and jump forward. This will greatly increase the height and distance you'll be jumping and is required as you hit bigger jumps. Be sure to start off small and work your way up and be sure to master the basics before trying something more advanced. And never forget that style is everything.\n\nAs far as your board being too small it could be a problem but if you practice it will actually help you in the long run. More advanced  Park Boards are generally a bit stiffer as this offers better pop off the lip and more stability on landing (think about it, a stiffer board will try and keep you centered if you do land too far back). That short board will offer less support but if you can learn to stomp your airs with that then you'll be ahead of the game when you pick up a stiffer board that is the correct size.

when you go for your olie. move your front leg at about a 45 degree angle toward the nose instead of strait toward it. the board should atomaticaly flip.

first, buy all your equipment so you don't get hurt. then, try to stand up on your skateboard before you try any tricks. try yor best and slowly begin doing tricks.good luck and put all your heart into it.

Performing an ollie starts with the skateboarder standing on the board in an almost regular stance, the front foot is moved slightly more towards the center of the board. The skateboarder jumps up, and as he is about to take off he kicks the tail of the board down. The kick gives the front end of the board upwards momentum and as the tail hits the ground it rebounds bringing the board completely airborne. When the board takes off, its nose is much higher off the ground than the tail. The skateboarder slides his front foot up and forward on the griptape. The friction between the shoe and the griptape levels the skateboard and takes it further off the ground.

You've got to remember to pull your knees up after you flip the board. Especially the one thats doing the flipping. Otherwise it's going to hit the board, or just go off to the side and to the ground. Jump, and when you do, lift up both legs and stay above the board while it flips, and then, ideally, it will finish it's rotation right under your feet and your feet will do what's called, "catch" the board.\nGood luck

Dude if your a regular sk8r, take your right hand, grab the middle of the board, quickly take your left foot off the board, place it on the ground, keep your right foot on the board and don't let it go with your hand, pivot a 180 on your left foot, push off the left foot and land fakie.If your goofy, sorry, just do the opposite of what I said. Aloha!

You have to be really patient, because it takes months to even learn the basic tricks well.  Basically, one of the easiest tricks is the "manual," where you tilt the front part of the board up while you skate (you could also do it with the back part of the board).  You can use a manual to turn around while skating.  Also you can do a trick (I think it's called "a pop-shove-it") where you basically spin the board 180 degrees from under you without your body actually moving in a different direction.  One more trick is the "ollie," which is basically a jump trick.  It's complex to explain, but you basically slam the back of the board down and shift the front foot forward while you raise your back foot and move that foot forward as well.\n\nBasically, if you're completely new at skateboarding, try skating around, increasing your speed, turning, and generally balancing well before you try any tricks.  These tricks should be started when you're still (i.e. not moving forward) and gradually you should be able to do them while moving slowly.\n\nTry http://www.skateboard.com/ for some trick tips and videos.
