| Nollie:this trick is the same as an ollie but switching your feet around (if you usually pop with your right foot, you pop with your left and if you usually pop with your left, pop with your right) and this trick is done at the nose of your board, as if you were going fakie. This trick is hard to learn and perfect (get a high nollie) once you have been skating your normal stance for a while, so it would be easier to learn this trick quite early into skating when you aren't as used to your normal stance (goofy, regular). You have your feet positioned the same as you would for ollie, but when you are starting try putting your front foot a bit further up the board than you usually would. Also like an ollie you have to pop and slide your front foot up the board to the nose, where you apply pressuure to try and level the board out, but when learning this trick i suggest that you get used to the nollie stance and start by just popping not levelling out, also to get used to the trick. As said earlier you have to pop and level out your board, and try and land on the bolts (not extremely necessary, apart from if you are doin it down a 3/4 set or a quite high ledge) once you have learnt the basics start levelling out and going at a faster speed then landing, land smoothly and ride off cooly. |
