What this video teaches
Tom Rohrer sets the feet up identically to an ollie, back toe in the centre of the tail with a little griptape showing behind it, front foot centred so it lines up with the back toe, shoulders square and parallel with the board. The difference from a normal ollie is in the front foot slide: you kick it out faster than you would for an ollie, and you delay it, so you ollie first and then kick out off the nose. His signature detail is the back foot angling slightly once the board starts pointing down, which keeps your body square above the board and helps level it back out when you bring the front foot back. He also notes you do not need to lean forward or backward for this trick.
Key tips
- Same setup as an ollie: back toe in the centre of the tail with a bit of griptape showing behind it, front foot centred and lined up with the back toe
- Keep your shoulders square and parallel with the board, do not let them turn
- Bend down as far as you can with weight on your toes before you snap
- Kick the front foot out faster than an ollie slide, and delay it: ollie first, then kick off the nose
- Angle the back foot slightly once the board points down; that keeps you square above the board and helps level it out when the front foot comes back
- Stay upright, you do not need to lean forward or backward for this trick
