Ollie's and Kickflips The first trick you'll learn as a skateboarder most likely is the ollie, this is the main trick, the jump, well when you ollie you want to do these steps as they follow: (using the photo to the left may help you) STEP 1: Put feet on board and set your front foot just below the bolts on your board. STEP 2: Bend your knees when you are ready to jump. STEP 3: When you jump into the air you'll want to bend your front foot in the way that your laces on your shoes is rubbing along the griptape. STEP 4: Balance out your body. STEP 5: Roll away smoothly. Now the kickflip is your main flip tricks, these are the sets of tricks that have the board rotatting below your feet. STEP 1: Put your feet in the ollie postition, except this time your front foot is set about in the middle of the board and then scoot it to the edge of the deck. STEP 2: Jump up as you would in the ollie. STEP 3: Just as your tail raises off the ground take your front foot and flick it out and down. STEP 4: When the board completes it's rotation catch it in the air. STEP 4: Balance out your body. STEP 5: Roll away smoothly. |
