HOW TO OLLIE THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL

Its pretty good you just need to work on actually sliding your foot up the board to level it out. If you have not already seen braille skateboardings video [VIDEO] you should check it out. Just practice standing on your board and sliding your foot up to the nose.

37 year old here. Got my 7 year old a Powell Ripper micro for his first board. I talked the wife into letting me get a board so I could teach him how to ride his. It's been probably 15 years since I last rode a skateboard. I didn't get a Powell reissue, although it was tempting. I got an 8.5" board with some Bones ATF soft wheels (60mm). I am having to re-teach myself to ollie and I found that the Braille Skateboardi

If you jumped off the board with both feet how would you pop with your back foot? The only pop you would receive would be a extremely small amount from extending your ankle. Instead try jumping off your back foot from the pop. I'd imagine you would need to practice the simultaneous motion of dragging with your front foot and popping with your back foot for a bit of time.

Nice start! Next time you get that pop, slide your front foot towards the nose of the board, so that it levels out in the air. Also bend your knees up towards your chest as you reach the top of your jump. Check this guy [VIDEO] out for a better understanding :)

If you do what he does at around 0:44 in the video (standing on board putting pressure on tail while doing the foot slide motion) you can work on your foot slide and pop muscle memory. Basically, put pressure on your tail to lift the front of the board off the ground, with the tail touching the ground so it's up as far as it will go. Do this with both of your feet on the board. You can stand on the board with both fe

Try standing on the board stationary, on concrete, and just practice shifting your weight to the tail Like this [VIDEO]. Do that until you are more comfortable balancing on the back wheel, then start doing your kickturns really small.(90 degree turns or less.) then you can move up to bigger and bigger turns, tictacs, and eventually try doing them on a pipe(if you have access to one.) It's all about finding your balan

[VIDEO] I'm sure you have watched this video, but the reason I post is that it helped me pay special attention to the 50 second mark. Try to pop it back to the tail and practice sliding your foot forward like he does while demonstrating. It's a good 'drill' so to speak. Repeat it many times to build up muscle memory. It really helps to break it down into parts, so you can slowly correct each aspect until you nail it.

brailleskateboarding.com [LINK] has great videos to break all the basic tricks down into easy to practice component steps. This one will help your ollie [VIDEO] , but it's ultimately about a lot of practice. Anywhere you can practice stationary can be helpful. If you can get a scrap of thin carpet to lay on asphalt or concrete, that will keep you from rolling without sacrificing much pop.
