Learning to Ollie (29) Part 11

Working on sliding my foot better so that I can get the tail to come up and level out. I'm popping the tail and not getting height so I'm trying to slide my front foot towards the nose. Gonna go back to stationary ollie attempts till I can get the sliding of my front foot down.

Hey can any1 help me if im right footed should i slide the board up with my left foot or right foot?

[scottdouglas79]

I'm not sure but I ride regular so

I slide with my left foot but my daughter is also right handed but she likes to ride goofy so she is learning to slide with her right foot. I think its just preference

[oddball724]

it took me so long to learn how to ollie. about 2 months. but once you get it down it gets easier. once you get it stationary, do it while moving, it is easier

[scottdouglas79]

I've been practicing for about 2 months but only a few days a week for about an hour

I'm learning the ollie and my issue is that the board land behind my feet, so my feet end landing in the floor, with the board back.

Any tip?

Thanks, and keep skating man ;) !!

Is the board turning when you ollie? I had that problem before and my feet would land on the floor and not on the board. You might want to try centering the front of your front foot on the board with your heel hanging off that way its less likely to pull your board to the left. Goodluck!

i used to skate a bit when i was about 15, now i'm 21 and i've started again and luckily i remembered how to ollie. i still screw it up quite a bit but i'm so glad i used to skate, otherwise i'd be at the level this guy is at. (no offence) i went through these stages when i was younger thank the lord!! feel like i've gotten a head start

[flettyflakes1234]

try practicing on grass and try popping the back tail higher and as your popping bring that back foot up in the air and try putting your left foot in the middle of the board and dont forget to keep your back straight while your popping the back tail and if that doesn't work than I dont know look at some skate videos or something. PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
