| STREET SKATEBOARDING TRICKS |
| THE OLLIE; The ollie is the trick you should learn frist when learning to board. It is the basis for most street skating tricks. To start off, place your back foot on the tail of the board and your front foot around the area where the truck bolts are. The first time you do this you will do it fine, but the board wont move, you will. The hardest part of the trick is timing. Firstly you should smack down on the tail of the board really hard and then slide your front foot up at the same time, bending your knees. This (which is the easiest part to do) 'pops' the board into the air. All you have to do now is keep your body centeral over the board while in the air and then land with your feet just over shoulder width apart and bend your knees. Practising this move stationary is best off first |
