the best way to learn to ollie is in the grass... if you can ollie in the grass you'll be able to do it on flat ground.  \n\nas for stance, you always want to bend your knees like crazy before you do any tricks.\n\nit does get frustrating but keep at it.\n\npractice practice practice.\n\nalso, dont be afraid to fall.... (all good skaters know how to take a fall, DO NOT try to stop yourself, try to roll with the fall, you'll cause less injury.\n\ngood luck!

to Kickflip on a Skateboard\nStep-By-Step\n\nFrom Steve Cave,\nYour Guide to Skateboarding.\nFREE Newsletter.

Lots of Music.\nwww.SpencersOnline.com\nKickflips are tricky tricks, and there are plenty of potential problems you can run into. Here's some common problems:\n\nCredit Carding\nThis is where the board flips vertically, and hits you in the groin. That might happen, and it hurts a lot. Just lay on the ground and moan for a while, get up and walk around, and try again. Try to keep the board spinning only on the vertical axis (nose to tail). \nPartial Flip\nWhen you kickflip, the skateboard doesn't flip all the way over. That's all right - focus on landing with both feet, even if your board is upside down. Next time try to flick the board harder. Make sure you are flipping off of the edge of the nose. Flick the skateboard out and down, not just down. Otherwise, your foot will keep the skateboard from spinning.\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. Try to 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.\nVisit the skate forum for more advice.\n\nKickflip Setup\nStep 2 - Stance\nStep 3 - The Pop\nStep 4 - The Flick\nStep 5 - The Nose\nStep 6 - Get Out of the Way\nStep 7 - Stay Level During Flip\nStep 8 - Catch the Skateboard\nStep 9 - Land and Roll Away\nStep 10 - Troubleshooting

Hey banannas a kick flip is a basic okay. Its already a regular flip. Okay dude start by riding at a slow steady and comfortable speed. Put ur back foot on the end on the curve and ur front foot in the middle of the board. Push ur back foot down and drag ur front foot all the way up the board but drag it at n angle towards u. Hope I helped thanx!!!! (6)

Joey H. answer is good.\nI have some personal tips to share with you...\n1. The best option is to start with low jumps and gain balance and 'sense' of 'air time'.\n2. When the board is 'off' the jump, make sure your balance is just in the middle (both on the length and the width). Most people crash of their side or back at the beginning... due to body freezing in the air. You should make little adjustments in order to keep the board align.\n3. The most important aspect is to think about your knees as your shock absorbers. On your first jumps, bent them more then you think you should.\n4. Try to practice on powder :)\n5. Good luck!

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!

You may want to look up skateboarding web sites (some has tutorial videos on how to do flips, ollie, etc.) or join a Yahoo group (if there is one).  Visit a local bookstore and pull up anything relating to skateboarding... and magazines (i.e. Transworld, Switch, Slap, etc.)  I usually try to find a copy of dvds (skateboarding competition) and watch the pros and imitate them.  Visit events if there is one.  Your best bet at doing something good... well... one could always say practice makes perfect.  Good luck!

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! ;)

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!
