Ollieing takes time. You just need to practice a lot. You can also find trick tips on the web. Try www.skateboard-city.com or www.skateboard.com. These sites are pretty good. Practicing on the grass wouldn't really help. You should hold on to a fence or a handrail while doing the ollie. You should have your front foot in the middle of the board and your back foot at the tip of the tail. Bend down, jump up right before you pop. Once you push your back foot down you should IMMEDIATELY jump off it to get a higher ollie. DRAG your front foot up the board while you do all that. Suck you legs up to your chest, and gravity will bring you back down. You should bend your knees when you land to absorb the shock. You should pop your board while bending down. You should bend, jump, pop and drag, suck up legs, land. You should pop 3/4 through your jump. practice ollieing down, up and over stuff. Ollie down stairs, curbs, ledges. Ollie up curbs. Ollie over gaps, decks, rocks, stuff like that. Main thing is practice.

Put one foot on the board, and push with the other. Wear kneepads/elbow pads and helmet, you can hurt yourself. Practice skating around at first on a flat area. Most people will get good with one positioning at first. I.e left foot on the board, or right foot on the board. I personally started with my left foot on the board, I would push with my right, so that means when you are moving your left foot will be forward so thats where your left foot goes, a bit forward. But you can reverse it.\n\nThe first things you try doing are: just skating around, then when you are comfortable with that try going down some small inclines/hills. After that you can try doing manuals thast where you lift up your left foot to balance on only 2 of the wheels, the back set of trucks. Manuals are a good way to get your balance. After that you can try to do an Ollie, which is basically jumping with the skateboard, and actually geting the skateboard to come up with you... basically you jump and drag your front foot up on a diagonal , using the grip tape a bit. Well, skateboarding takes alot of skill and practice, and once you get comfortable go to a skatepart. You can learn alot from people there! and most important, have fun!

when you ollie, instead of sliding your toe up the board ( like a kickflip) slide your foot up, and heel out, causing the heel to catch the front of the board. the higher the ollie, the bigger the flip.

I had lessons for a year and a half during which time i had the most amazing falls ... so here are my tips\n\n1) If you think you will fall you will - that wierd flapping position will send you head over and will not help you keep your balance\n\n2) Relax and try the following. \n\n3) To move forward you need to zig zag or sway side to side. Push with right foot with left foot say pointing at 10 o'clock, glide on the left foot. Alternate your pushing foot - do the same with pushing with the left foot with the right foot pointing to 2 o'clock and repeat\n\n4) To move backwards, simply push in front of you with your toes in the same manner with a slight twist in your hips. \n\n5) To stop, point your toes to the same spot 2 feet ahead of you and glide to a halt. Bend your knees or you will flip. \n\n6) If feeling more adventurous, perform 3) but with a running pace. To stop you will need to point both feet to the side and cover some poor sole in snow. \n\nWhatever you do enjoy!

STEP 1: Stand on the board with your rear foot placed on the tail and your front foot between the middle of your board and the front bolts.\nSTEP 2: Place the ball of your rear foot in the middle of the board so that when you push the tail down, the ball of your foot feels the pressure.\nSTEP 3: Place your front foot nearly straight across the board.\nSTEP 4: Practice pushing down as fast as you can with your back foot and putting all your weight on the tail. This is the initial motion of the trick.\nSTEP 5: Notice that the harder you push, the more your board wants to keep going up once the tail is on the ground. You will use that motion in the next step.\n\nSTEP 6: Strike the tail on the ground and jump off with your rear foot as you slide your front foot up the board (so your knee moves toward your chest).\n\nSTEP 7: Drag the side of your foot up the board as you are jumping. This will cause the board to come up with your jump. Once both feet are in the air, the board will seem to stick to them.\nSTEP 8: Come back down.\nTips & Warnings\n\nLearn this trick without rolling at first to get comfortable with the motions. Once you feel comfortable with the basics, you will be able to adapt to moving and going up or down things.\nThe hardest part is the timing of when to push down on the tail, when to jump, and how quickly to suck up your legs. The secret: It's all done at the same time. The faster you do it, the easier it becomes. Think about jumping off with one foot and sucking your legs up to your chest.\nSkateboarding is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or death. We recommend that you seek proper training and equipment before attempting this activity.

the ollie is the trick in skateboarding that brought the skateboard comunity to what it is today. it is when the board hops in the air by the grip tape and the shoes that are made for skatebarding it makes the board level out in the air. there is really nothing of physics in the trick. its just the grip tape on top of the board sticks to the specially designed shoes for skateboardng. like if you skate with tennis shoes it wouldn really stick to the board

Well it's gonna take awhile to do the tricks that you see the pros like Bam Margera, Tony Hawk, Joey Brezinski, Mike V......ok all the pros, what they do so if you don't have time then I would just do it as a stress reliever.\n\nStart out with going straight. Gradually go faster and faster. Then try turns. Skateboards can turn pretty sharply and it can be surprising. \n\nAfter you get a feel for your board try a ollie. A basic trick. Just bend your knees, push on the tail of your board, and sometimes rolling your lead foot forward helps too! (helps the height of the jump)\n\nAfter you master a ollie try to manual. It's a pretty easy trick. But you will have some nasty falls trying this one. But it's all in the game.\n\nAfter you can do these two tricks, you can do anything. A ollie is the grounds for most tricks you see people do. Everyone has to start somewhere. The next tricks you learn are up to you and time. All tricks take time to learn. \n\nThen once you get better, try ramp tricks. Then you can decide what you like better Vert or Street. Personally I like both. The thrill of rocketing down the Vert ramp, olling curbs, boxes, and anything that I run into on the street. But you don’t have to pick one. But if you do, there are tons of tricks that you can learn for both. Kickflips, heelflips, melons, shoveits, acid drops, nollies....the list goes on forever.\n\nGood luck, take your time, have fun, ROCK ON!!

If you're practicing someplace where you can put a piece of tape on the floor, put an X where you want your first foot to land.  As you start are in the handstand position, begin watching the X and watch your foot land on it.  You can also do the samething to land your round-offs.

Kick down on the tail, slide your front foot up and push down on the nose. Then level the board out. If I remember right anyway...

Assuming you're a beginer, practice all your simple "J'' turns using both your toeside edges and heelside edges. once you have your edges down start pointing your board down the hill, each time going further and further. but remember you must have your turns and stopping down before you start shooting down the hill. \n\nIf you post another question telling exactly what you need work on, i could answer better.

http://www.switchmagazine.com/skateboarding_tips/how_to_ollie.html\n\n"The main factors in gaining height with an ollie are how hard you pop, how much effort you put into your jump, and how accurately you slide that front foot up the deck."\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Ollie

dont kick it, push it up. move your foot up quickly then pull it back down and around, you'll get the hang of it. my biggest problem while learning it was catching soft enough on the way down, make sure you go pretty straight upwards.

Do an ollie, then roundhouse kick the board until it flips.

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)
