do an ollie

I’ve been trying so hard for a month or two now, and I’ve looked at a bunch of stuff on the internet, I’ve asked my friends, and I know what to do, I just can’t do it. Slap the tail down and jump off with your back foot. When the board is at a high incline, push it forward with your front foot, and the back follows. Unfortunately, MY back doesn’t follow, and I’m just slapping the front down.

So I think I’ve gotten the actual “skating” part of skateboarding down, but I want to do some tricks now. You know, heelfip, kickflip… but I can’t do any of that without learning to do an ollie first! I’ve tried like, 1000 times, but I do something wrong with my back foot, (my left, I’m goofy) Maybe I don’t lift it up enought or something… siiiigh I guess I’ll just keep trying.

I’ve been skating on and off for the past two or so years. And I have still yet to do a good ollie. I can occasionally actually get it in the air (an inch or so…) but I want to be able to ollie actual things.

ollie up curbs and shit then you can impress stupid people

We just bought a 10 dollar skateboard at Target for no reason. I have never skateboarded before and would love to try to do at least one trick. I know technically how to do it I just need more practice. In a little bit of fooling around I am very comfortable on the board and it is fun too.

i understand wat i have 2 do , i read it off the internet i even ask my friends, and i just can’t slide my foot, lyk its stuck or sumting!!!

I can do it about half the time (stationary, and going slowly). Still haven’t ollied over something. That’s next, after some more practice. Good short video instructions: http://www.skateboarding.com/skate/video/0,23430,215106-147597,00.html

I can’t even pull off a stationary ollie. so close, yet so far away. Today I was riding down my street and managed to get the board in the air, but I kind of lost it in midair and had to chase my rolling board down the hill that my house is so conveniently placed at the top of.

Ive done it i can also kicklfip, 360 flip, inward heelflip, heelflip, 360, nollie varial, switch varial, switch kicklfip + more.
I love skating.

Guys heres some advice when you ollie just pushed down really hard on the tail and just jump your feet will go to the bolts naturally. goodluck guys and gals!
