A short, visual tutorial distilling the ollie to three simultaneous actions (push down, jump, slide), with concise fixes for the most common beginner errors.
Key tips
- Snap the tail with your calves and toes, not the base of your foot
- Keep the front foot below the bolts so you can slide up to the nose
- Push down, jump, and slide the front foot all at the same time
- Squat before the pop to load power
- Push down harder if the board will not leave the ground
- Keep your shoulders square and parallel to the board
- Film yourself to fix your timing
- Practice the snap-and-jump off the board first
