We're going to take this in a few steps.

The first thing that people usually do

When they're learning how to ollie

Is they go and find a good crack.

So go find a crack

Put your back wheels in the crack.

This just helps to steady your board

So you're not rolling around everywhere.

Now the second thing is your foot position.

Your front foot is going to be slanted

On the board like this sideways.

And your back foot is going to be on your tail

With the ball of your foot at the edge.

So your front foot is sideways

And your back foot is with the ball of your foot on the tail.

Now the first thing is popping your tail.

This is the first of the three steps to the ollie.

Popping your tail just like that.

So get used to that for a minute

And then get ready to do the second step

Which is going to be sliding your foot up the board.

I want you to pay special attention to the knee

And look at how the knee moves

To make that foot slide in the direction like that.

This is what gives you your lift

And really what makes the entire ollie happen.

So after you pop your tail

You're going to slide your foot up.

The most important thing to learning how to ollie

Is getting the timing correct between these two parts.

Part 1 right here and part 2, that slide.

It's almost simultaneous

But you really have to get that action

Between those two steps down.

Now the third step is just putting your feet down

On the bolts and landing.

It's pretty simple, self-explanatory.

So you get that step 1 and that step 2 down

And then you're going to roll around

And just do ollies everywhere.

This is really a basic fundamental trick

And you're going to be doing it a lot

So you might as well get really good at it now.
