The Ollie is an excellent way to get started with snowboarding. It is a simple trick that can be used over obstacles and features on the mountain to send yourself up or down. You can also use the Ollie as a base for more advanced tricks.
You will need to lean forward into your nose to perform an Ollie. Then, use your tail to propel yourself. This will give you more momentum and height. Once you have enough momentum, you can pull your knees towards your chest. To give more momentum and force, your arms should be thrown up in the air.
Before you begin your Ollie, you'll want to find a good spot on the slope to practice. Most resorts have an area where beginners can learn how to jump and practice. You can also practice on the flats. A drop or slight slope should be your goal to allow you to land in more stable positions. Avoid going to crowded places first.
It is also important to use your stance correctly. This means you will need to examine your form from top-to-bottom. This will ensure that your knees and feet are properly used and protect you from injury. You'll also want to use your back foot to propel yourself off the ground. This will help to give you uplift and keep you from stumbling on your way to the jump. You'll also want to make sure that your back foot is squared behind your front foot, so that it guides your board during the jump.
If you are doing an Ollie on the Flat, make sure your knees can bend. Your knees should be slightly bent when you land. This will ensure that you get the most height from your jump. You will likely lose your balance and fall if your knees are stiff.
Once you have perfected the technique, you can attempt to jump off of an obstacle. You can also practice by throwing a Frisbee or a baseball at your technique. Practice landing on both feet. This will make your movements become second nature and will help you to be more confident.
You'll also want to make a point of practicing your technique on a slope that is a bit more difficult than the one you're on. This will help to build confidence, as well as allowing you to better practice your technique. Also, make sure to use your core and your arms for maximum power and height when jumping.
If you're learning an Ollie on the flat, you'll need to make sure that you're using your back foot to propel yourself off the ground. You'll also want to make sure your tail is the last thing to leave the ground. To give the illusion of height, you'll want to raise your knees to your chest while jumping.
