Skateboarding Tricks - The Ollie
By Corey Polomka
Doing skateboard tricks is so cool and gives you such an adrenalin rush. If you are new to skateboarding tricks you will want to learn the 'Ollie' first as it is used by most riders and is the basis for many other tricks.
You will find a lot of information on the internet about skateboarding tricks including the Ollie but most of the sites won't give you the tips that will make it easier to do.
Here are some tips on how you can perform the 'Ollie' just like the pro's.
To perform the Ollie stand on your board and have your back foot on the tail of the board. Your front foot will be around about the middle of the board and you will need to have your knees bent slightly.
When you first start out learning this trick just take it slow and don't go too fast on your board. There is nothing worse than trying to do a trick for the first time and going too fast and stacking it on the concrete.
A big tip to make the Ollie easier is to keep down low, the lower that you are bent down the more air you will get. You will perform much better if your hands are reasonably low and not too far off the ground.
When you are ready then slam your back foot on the tail of the board so that you will jump high into the air. You really need to hit the board as hard as you can with that back foot so that your board will follow when you jump into the air.
It is important to keep your balance so try to remain centered on the board for balance and keep your knees in the bent position to absorb the landing.
With anything the more you practice the better you will get so if you don't succeed straight away don't give up just keep on practicing. Practice and remember these skateboard Ollie tips and you will be the envy of your friends in no time.
