Doing an ollie will give you big air when you jump. It is the simplest of tricks and is a good place to start when you are just learning how to ride. It is important to learn a few things to make it work well. The first step is practice. After mastering the basics, you can add excitement to the ollie with more complicated tricks.

You need to get the board below you in order for you to do an ollie. To do this, you need to lean into the front foot and slide the board forward. You can also use the arms to boost your power and assist the board in moving upwards. Begin by finding a flat place where you can practice. Then, make sure your board is long enough to get you to the landing.

A flat, uncrowded slope is ideal for performing an ollie. It is also possible to practice moving snow. After you've mastered the basics of snow moving, go to the park and practice the more difficult tricks. If you are still unsure of how to perform an ollie, it may be best to seek professional help. You may start by learning the basics of snowboarding, even if you're not a long-time skier.

Your ollie should look great. Make sure you take the time and do the right posture. Make sure you look to the direction you are heading and that your form is correct. You should also be sure to bend your knees, but not too much. This will keep you from going backwards. Make sure that your tail does not fall to the ground last.


The ollie allows you to jump high, but it's best to practice. You should find a flat slope when you first learn how to do an ollie. This will allow you to get the hang of it and then you can move on to harder terrain. You should also practice the ollie on a downward facing slope. This will help you understand how to load your Tail and how to get the best out of it.

While the ollie may be one of the most simple tricks, it can also have its challenges. Your back leg will do most the pushing while you jump. However your front and rear legs should be helping to guide the board along the landing path. This will give you more power, but it will also help you to land with the utmost accuracy.
