How to Ollie, Step by Step

  1. Put the ball of your back foot on the tail and your front foot just behind the front bolts.
  2. Crouch, then snap the tail down hard so it hits the ground.
  3. As the board pops, drag the side of your front shoe up the grip tape toward the nose.
  4. Lift your knees toward your chest so the board can rise with you, then level it out with the front foot.
  5. Land with both feet over the bolts and bend your knees to soak up the impact.

Ollie Tips

  • Pop and slide happen together. Popping first and sliding late gives you a board that never leaves the ground.
  • Practise stationary on grass or carpet until the motion feels automatic, then do it rolling.
  • If the board comes up crooked, check that your front foot drags straight up, not diagonally.
