Answer 2

Hey whats up,
I read this on a site.
To ollie, place your back foot so that the ball of your foot is on the tail of your skateboard. Place your front foot between the middle and front trucks of your skateboard. That’s where you want your feet to be right before ollying. If you find that it works better for you to have your feet shifted to other places on your skateboard, that’s fine.
You can learn to ollie while standing stationary, or while your skateboard is rolling. Ollying while standing still works the same way as while rolling, but I think rolling ollies are easier than stationary ollies. If you would like to learn to ollie with your skateboard stationary, you can place your skateboard on some carpet or grass to keep it from rolling. If you prefer to learn to ollie while your skateboard is rolling, don’t go very fast at the start. Whichever way you learn to ollie, once you feel comfortable you should try to ollie the other way as well.
When you are ready to ollie, bend your knees deeply. The more you bend your knees, the higher you will go.
Slam your back foot down on the tail of your skateboard as hard as you can. At that moment, you want to also jump into the air, off of your back foot.
As you jump into the air, your front foot needs to roll slightly inward, and with the outside of your foot
Once that is done level out, land and roll away.
Its good to imagine yourself landing this trick because it helps not only your confiddence but your knowledge on how to land this trick, This technique works for any trick in skateboarding,

Good luck with learning your trick

To ollie, place your back foot so that the ball of your foot is on the tail of your skateboard. Place your front foot between the middle and front trucks of your skateboard. That’s where you want your feet to be right before ollying. If you find that it works better for you to have your feet shifted to other places on your skateboard, that’s fine.
When you are ready to ollie, bend your knees deeply. The more you bend your knees, the higher you will go.
Slam your back foot down on the tail of your skateboard as hard as you can. At that moment, you want to also jump into the air, off of your back foot. This part is key, and takes practice. The trick is in getting your timing right. You want to slap the skateboard’s tail down, and as it hits the ground, jump off of that foot into the air. Make sure to pull that back foot high into the air. It's a quick, snapping motion.

As you jump into the air, your front foot needs to roll slightly inward, and with the outside of your foot, you want to guide the skateboard as it flies into the air. Some people describe this as dragging the side of your front foot up the skateboard – that’s more or less what is happening, but what you are doing is using your shoe and the griptape on the board to pull the skateboard to where you want it higher into the air with you, and guiding the skateboard.

When you jump, pull your knees as high as you can. Try to hit your chest with your knees. The deeper you crouch down before the ollie, and the higher you pull your feet, the higher your ollie will be.
All during the ollie, try and keep your shoulders and body level, as in don't lean toward the tail or nose of your skateboard too much. This will make the whole ollie easier, and it will make it easier to land on your skateboard after the ollie. At the apex (top) of your jump, when you are as high in the air as you will go, you want to flatten out the skateboard underneath you. Make both feet level on the top of the skateboard.

Next, as you fall back toward the ground and land, bend your knees again. This part is vital! Bending your knees will help absorb the shock of landing on your skateboard, it will keep your knees from getting hurt from the impact, and keep you in control of your skateboard.
Finally, just roll away. If this sounds simple, then great – get out there and practice! If this sounds too complicated, don’t worry. Just go slow, and take your time. There is no time limit to learn how to ollie – some people learn in a day, and I know one guy that took over a year to learn how to ollie on his skateboard. Also, like with most things in skateboarding, your body is learning how to ollie more than your mind is. So with practice, you’ll eventually get it.

Practice next to a curb, practice on grass or carpet, and also practice with trucks.

Happy Ollying!

basic idea is that you launch the board into the air by dropping your weight down on the tail. The nose then rises. You then jump at the appropriate time. The board is still rotating and leaves the ground. Your lead foot pushes the nose down, levelling the board in the air. Friends of mine who actually skateboarded tell me you might be able to get better height by dragging your lead foot slightly along the board while in the air, pulling it up further before levelling it out.

Answer 5

first of all learn how to ollie standing still... okay step one: get on board. step 2: move front foot to middle of board,between the bolts. step 3: move back foot to tail and position in the middle of the tail, almost at the edge of the board. step 4: pop board with back leg and quickly all in one motion move both feet foward as soon as you pop.... the farther the front foot is from the front bolts the higher the ollie can be.

Answer 6

push down on your back foot while kicking up your other foot!
it is easy once you get the hang of it..... try starting on grass
it makes it way easier!
anyway just kick really hard on your back foor and kick lightly with your other foot!
good luck!

p.s after you can olie it is so easy to shove-it and kickflip1
