how do you ollie on your skateboard?

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.

Go to google and type in how to do an ollie. I know you have to have back foot on tail and front almost midway, push down on your back foot, shift the weight back to your body and... I have no idea. Every time I try I can't

Dude man I love to snowboard! And you don't really do an ollie. Since your feet are strapped in you can't really do an ollie. The way you get air is you almost kinda "hop". Or if your going off a slant ramp then you just kinda "glide" off with your knees bent alot. Don't know what else to tell you bra! Aloha!

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.

First off, if u are goofy, put your right foot forward close to the front screws and towards the middle not the edge, and left one behind you really close to the back edge. With both of your feet lean on your balls of ur feet, and with your left foot tip the skateboard were there is only one end of it one the floor, and at the exact same time you ROLL/SLIDE your right foot/toe upwards on the skateboard, you have to roll with enough force that the skateboard jumps into the air. If you are regular same thing just visaversa.

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.

put one foot on the back of the board and the other in the middle. press down very hard on the back of the board and slide the other foot foward. you need to jump with the board to make it happen.

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

First you should get on your skateboard with one foot on it.Then you should try pushing yourself slowly.But I reccomend you do it with an adult or a friend who knows how to skate.You should wear pads.You can hire someone if you know someone you can hire.Or just go online.To do a manual you have to ride slowly if you are a begginner.Then you lean back on your tail a little and try to keep your balance.I suggest you stay still on your skatboard on flat ground and lean back and try to balance.When you get the hang of manualing you should start to manual while moving.

push down on the tail of the skateboard with your backfoot (making the nose come up) while at the same time sliding your front foot from the center of the board towards the nose.  try landing your front foot on top of your hardware. while doing all that you should be going through a jumping motion.\n\nhttp://expn.go.com/tricks/Ollie.html#

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!

Street trick tips: Beginner\n\n\n\n\nOllie: For a good solid ollie you want to place your back foot on the tail and your front foot right in the middle of the board. Now bend your knees and pop the tail to the ground hard and slide your front foot up to the nose of the board. This should start taking you off the ground so suck your knees up to your chest like your sitting down in mid air. Get ready for the landing by bending down to absorb the shock.\n\n\nManual: For a manual you want to place your front foot on the front bolts and your back foot on the tail of the board. Now shift your weight to your back foot while balancing in the middle of your board to stay in the manual position.\n   \n\nNose manual: Start out in regular manual position just with your front foot on the nose and your back foot on the back truck bolts. Now shift your weight to your front foot and lean a little bit backwards. Now balance out for a good nose manual.\n\n\n5-0 grind: Be clean with ollies and manuals. Now roll next to the object you plan on grinding with a good amount of speed and pop an ollie. Land on the back truck and shift your weight to your back foot and lean forward some. Keep balancing so you can get a pretty long grind. At the end of the grind pop an ollie off depending on the type of grinding object. Land and roll away.\n\n\nPop shuv-it: Okay get into the ollie position except put you back foot on the upper side of the tail and your front right off the lower side. Now pop down the tail and sweep your front foot forwards and your back foot backwards. The board should start doing a 180` turn so while it’s moving jump above the board to give it room to spin. After it’s done spinning catch it and roll away. \n\n\nNollie: For a nollie place your front foot on the nose and your back foot in the middle of the board. Now pop the nose down and slide your back foot up to the tail. Raise your knees while in the air and land.\n\nFrontside 180`: Get in the ollie position just have it so your front foot toes are hanging off the side of the board. Now pop and ollie and twist your hips so you’re starting to turn to the left if you’re regular footed, if you’re goofy footed to the right. Practice landing 90`s until you start landing full 180`s.\n\n\nBackside 180`: Get into the ollie position just that your front foot’s heel is hanging of the edge of the board. Now ollie and twist your hips in the other direction so your turning in the opposite direction of a frontside 180`.\n\n                                          Street trick tips: Beginner advanced\n\n\n\nPop shuv-it nose manual: Be clean with pop shuv-its, nose manuals and ollies. Now get into the pop shuv-it position and be ready for a nose manual. Shuv a shuv-it and once it’s starting to come around you want to have your feet in the nose manual position while in mid air. Note: You will only have a split second while in the air so get this down fast. Now land balanced in a nose manual and roll away.\n\n\n\nKickflip: Place your back foot on the mid side of the tail and your front foot off to the side with your heel hanging off the edge. Now pop an ollie and flick your front foot off the side of the nose making it flip. Raise your knees to your chest to stay over the board and land with your feet over the bolts. Be sure to flick off the board hard to get the rotation and raise your knees to your chest. The best place to practice kickflips is on carpet because you have more control over the board.

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
