First of all, do you ride natural or switch? If you ride natural like i do, For the 360 flip, I set my left foot on the very edge of the left side of the board, near the tail, and my right foot on the tip of the tail. There is no exact way to set your feet on a skateboard, you'll just have to experiment. But this footing works for me and I can almost land a 360 flip. For the hardflip I don't know. I've never tried one. They look...well, hard.

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.

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.

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!

There is no easy way to learn to ollie. It takes weeks of dedicated practicing to even begin to get something that resembles an ollie.\n\nIn order to get the motions down for an ollie you can use Practice Trucks such as Soft Trucks or you can use your normal skateboard and place it on carpeting (outdoors), grass, or lock you back wheels in a crack of the sidewalk.\n\nHave you ever had a pencil sit on the edge of your desk and hit it so that it goes flying across the room? Well, an ollie harnesses that same energy.\n\nYou want to push down (HARD) with your back foot and the second that your tail hits the ground, jump up, slide your front foot forward (to level out the deck), and land on all four wheels.\n\nAs you get better with your ollies suck you knees up towards your chest when you ollie. This will help you get even higher.

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

To do this trick you have to be able to do very good kick-flips. A dark slide is pretty much a up-side down board slide. To do this trick come near the object you want to grind on ( here's the hard part) do a Kickflip, except only let the board flip half way. Catch the board after it has flipped half way and grind across your object. Your feet should be on the nose and the tail while you grind. When you are coming to the end of the object put pressure on the edge of the tail and jump up let the board flip so it is right-side up, then land and roll away. I recommend trying to learn this trick on a curb or a small rail. This trick looks very cool and your friends will think your ready to turn pro.

well, did u did it the right way? ok here's a tip if you want to jump. this trick is called an "ollie." an "ollie" is by taping the end of the board off the ground or on a ramp. by doing this you well have one foot by the tail of the board and the other foot in the middle of the board. also, bend ur knee while doing this trick also. ok since u got the position, go do it. don't do it while ur moving because this made cause injuries. ok get balance on the board while doing this. tap the tail of the board and jump a little bit and that will make the "ollie." if u want to make a flip. i'll tell u this is complicated to do. what kind of flip do u want any way? because the "ollie" the the easiest trick. do u want me to teach u how because i'm been skating for 1 year and 5 months and i'm a pro. it's easily if u r confidante on doing it and hangin out with the pros and also lookin up on the internet for tricks help.

try not to kick your front leg out so far instead of kicking it sideways try pushing just your toe to the tip and then your leg wont go flailing off to the side.  Try a heelflip same thing only different.

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!

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!

I saw a thing on TransWorld Skateboarding Magazine, and Ryan Sheckler says how to set up with your front foot; it should be a few inches from the back bolts of the front truck, get a good amount of speed, smash the tail into the ground and do the highest ninja kick you can, let the board flip under you, catch w/ your feet or hand, keep it the catch (unless you are grabbing it, release it after catching it) and land.\n\nI don't know it sounds pretty retarded ;)

all u need to do is keep ur balance if u just keep ur balance on the board ...u won't have any problems ...and to get more speed u can always try the trick tic tac....or just lean from side to side

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
