How do you do an ollie?
820474
i think ur in the wrong section, this is for cycling and u dont ollie  on bike. \n\nbut anyways, if u wanna ollie on a skateboard, u need to smack the back of the board down while pushing ur front foot down on the board and give a slight jumping motion. its gotta be done really fast but if done correctly, u will have the perfect ollie.

easy lol..... jk it takes much practice and dedication.... it could even take the rest of your life....jk\n\ntry it on some carpet or grass at first, what you need to do is bend down and when you want to jump up with the board you have to jump with the foot that is on the tail first and let the nose rise up, now with your front foot thats not on the tail you slide your foot foward and bring your back foot thats is on the tail up, this is going to level the board out while connected to your feet.\n\nif that made no sence get a skatevideo and watch, you can also get a video that was made for beginer skaters that has pros show you how they do ther tricks

What you do is put slide your foot up and then out and in the air put your feet straight again and you will land and if you need any other help type in the email skatefreak1995@sbcglobal.net and type it in and I can help you trust me I have two sponsers and won three compititions.

# 1) Start with your back foot on the tail and your front foot right under the bolts. Your front foot should be slanted just a little.\n# 2) Bend your knees and pop your board.\n# 3) Flick your front foot off the tip of the nose making it flip.\n# 4) Suck up your legs for the catch. Try and keep your feet over the bolts.\n# 5) Land and absorb the shock and roll away.

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!

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.

Lol, prepare for the most frustration you will face as a skateboarder. This one almost took me to insanity. Alright, start with your right foot (Assuming you are regular footed) on the tal with a little rubber hanging off the edge or none. Then take your other foot and put it behind the bolts on the front pretty much parallel to the back foot. A litlle acute angle never hurt anyone. Next you roll toward your target, or do it stationary, and stap the tail against the ground. As the board comes up slide your front food directly toward the nose of the board. This slidng movement brings the board into the air. Once you have both feet over the board you want to suck up the legs and then snap the legs and feet back down, but no too aggressive or you will break your board or your body. An interesting mental thing is when you are rolling toward your target, bend down and touch your bolts. This apparentally not only gets you limber and ready to pop it, but also gets you to think about that jumping motion. If you also wanted to do a little research you can google how to ollie or watch the Tony Hawk instructional videos which I highly recomend if you have some cash to burn.\nSkate on

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

Work on style.  Learn how to flex your knees more.  If you dig ramps, keep your back foot off the tail, but centered over the bolts...\n\nLearn to use your shoulders to control your board.  That's actually the big secret in skating, that using your shoulders teaches you how to steer and pivot

well hopefully this helps:\n\nif you want to do it moving i suggest to go with the wind. try the first part of the trick lifting one part of the board, with all your weight and balancing then do the following  1.   bend down on your knees( with right foot on about middle of the board, and the other in the tip of the board.), 2.   lean to your left side(if thats the foot you push with, with your left foot) and press the board and once the board is up lean to the other side while sliding your foot the other way so the oppostie side comes up as well\n\n there short and sweet, for you\n\ncome to HELP YOU, first practice it alot of times. make sure you lean tothe other side WHILE you slide your foot.\n\nTip: I would try it in the grass first)\nPS it works, but it will take some practice!

sure, \n1) place your back foot on the tail of the board and your front foot anywhere from the middle of the board to right behind the front bolts, wherever feels more comfortable to you\n2)crouch down to get more pop. and then slam your back foot down on the tail of the board then jump. (you can only ollie as high as you can jump)\n3)slide your front foot up the board to get more hight\n4)when your ready to land slam the board down to the ground with confidence and ride away

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.

I learned by \n1. Practicing just turning my board 180 degrees\n2. Then lifting the front edge of the board as I turned\n3. And then finally by going off a bump and jumping as I began to turn.   \n\nAbout.com has good information on basic tricks- here is what they say:\n\n1.   Ride straight at a small bump or roller with the base of your board flat.\n\n2.   Stay flat-based until you're just about to take off.\n\n3.   At the lip of the jump, spring off of your toes.\n\n4.   Rotate slowly because you're only going to spin 180 degrees.\n\n5.   Look down between your legs to spot your landing.\n\n6.   Let go of your grab and extend your legs for the landing.\n\n7.   As you absorb the landing, continue looking uphill for just a second until your board is firmly planted. Then turn and ride away smoothly.\n\n(I deleted a step- they threw in an Indy grab...)\n\nAlso, check out some of their other basic trick instructions- they're pretty good!

Panda Ninja: say something smart dont be a smart a** maybe she is just starting out u moron.\n\nTo ollie u place ur front foot in the middle of the board, and ur back foot on the tip of the back of the board. Now try and pop the tail which means put ur weight on the tail but try and jump with ur other foot at the same time.then push ur front foot to the top to level ur board. Once u get it ride away with a smile.
