learning to ollie

[thatidahoguy]

Ive read all the instructions and stuff but i still have a really hard time sliding my foot up, any1 have any tips, exercises, etc, for me to tryout besides stepping on the kicktail and sliding my foot up over and over?

Thanks

at first i tried putting my front foot just behind the front screws and got ollieing from there down pat. i worked my way down from there and now i can ollie pretty high with my front foot in the center. just try that it might help alittle

yea, i had my front foot more like a half or 1 whole inch behind the front bolts. try that cuz ur front foot might not get there in time cuz u have it too far back like in the middle. the ollie is all about the timing

maybe u should try hollding ur tail all the way down then just sliding ur foot up and down up and down that helped my neighbor kid ALOT

i haven't tried this yet but as your jumping put ur foot on the bottom of the board and spin..try it.i hopwe it works!!!XD ;D

I keep my feet pretty close together on this one. a little less than halfway and I have my foothang halfway off the board. I dont know if this will help but it works for me.

just start with ur front foot in about the middle of the board ;D

[vansglifberg]

i have my feet really close together like 1/4 of the way up the board.

i keep my feet pretty much on the screws and then stomp with my back foot, and lean forward a little when i land... seems to work ;D
