You need to have a lot of speed, so big hills help a lot. Once you have the speed, you need to press HARD down on your front foot (which should be on the nose of the board). Boom, ollie.

pop down hard with your backfoot
slide ur front foot up while jumping up with your back leg
the board should level out in the air
its gonna take you another couple months to do one though...hehe

wow dude you suck if u cant ollie....thats pretty rediculous. Alright heresthedeal:

Pop your tail down...place your back foot towards the tip of the tail.
when your front starts to come up, just kinda flick your front foot and kinda push down.

Make sure you keep the board underneath you, its better to have shitty attempts at an ollie, but stay on the board then to actually get it lifted but make the board get away from your feet.

bend your knees like your gonna jump and as you jump pop your back foot and jump off of it and while your coming up cradle the board with your front foot and kind of scoop it upwards with yout then level that shit and land. remember to jump like your jumping off the ground.

so what? you progressed faster than him, want a cookie?

there are people in skiing that probably got better in their first or second year of skiing than you have in however long you have been skiing, but they dont come and shit on you for not being as good as them.

god damn there are so many idiots on newschoolers these days

I don't want to be a bitch to you because I'm obviously new to the forums here, but I never thought I would hear something like this from someone named 'kneegrows'.
