Just try to jump simultaneously while you flip the board, and try to make the board flip right below you, and try to jump right over it, like pull your feet right back over the board. You can improve that with the practice. Also, by the way, a tip to do that, I mean, to keep the board right below you and yourself over it, is to lean a bit back to the direction of the tail, and put most  of  your weight there, before you do the flip. Like don't lean too much and lose your balance, it's just that you have to put your weight more over the tail, and try to jump without moving to any side, so as that you won't send the board away from you. It's kind of confusing, I hope this helps anyways. Good luck dude.

I answered your other kick-over question. :)\n\nCartwheels, one of the many building blocks in gymnastics!\nStart in a lunge.\n(With whatever hand you right with or you prefer, but lets use the right hand)Reach forward with that arm, kick up with the opposite leg (which would be left in this case). Other hand should follow right after that, quickly, touching the ground, and then your right leg should come up too. You should be in a straddle handstand. Then, land the same way you came, your legs will be falling back into place, only on the opposite side of where you started. Probably sounds complicated but once you do the steps all together it won't seem like that and it moves very quickly. Think hand, hand, foot, foot. You can use tape on the ground to guide you.

1) Push at a comfortable speed, remember the faster you go the better the pop. \n2) Place your front foot near the middle of your board, about two inches under your bolts. Put your back foot on the rear of the skate board. \n3) Squat, so you can spring yourself up. \n4) Kick your back foot down so you can pop as you jump up, your front foot should rub upward on your griptape (rough part). \n5) 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. \n6) 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 \n7) Finally bend your legs as you touch down to give it that smooth style and roll away stocked.

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.

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.

You have to be really patient, because it takes months to even learn the basic tricks well.  Basically, one of the easiest tricks is the "manual," where you tilt the front part of the board up while you skate (you could also do it with the back part of the board).  You can use a manual to turn around while skating.  Also you can do a trick (I think it's called "a pop-shove-it") where you basically spin the board 180 degrees from under you without your body actually moving in a different direction.  One more trick is the "ollie," which is basically a jump trick.  It's complex to explain, but you basically slam the back of the board down and shift the front foot forward while you raise your back foot and move that foot forward as well.\n\nBasically, if you're completely new at skateboarding, try skating around, increasing your speed, turning, and generally balancing well before you try any tricks.  These tricks should be started when you're still (i.e. not moving forward) and gradually you should be able to do them while moving slowly.\n\nTry http://www.skateboard.com/ for some trick tips and videos.

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 weird lol\n\nI hope you get it now!!! :)

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!

alright. so first you stand near the back of the board with both feet. with your back foot, you pop the tail down and jump right away. with your front foot, slide it up to level the board out. then you will land on all fours. its gonna take a longgg time to get it. took me almost a month. but once you get the hang of it, play with where you put your feet and all of that; get comfortable with the ollie.

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!

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!

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.

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.
