Ollie

This is obviously the most important trick in skateboarding! Without it, almost every other trick is impossible.
First, place your feet on the board so that your back foot is lying straight on the tail.
Position your front foot right behind the front bolts.
For beginners, practice this move standing still.
Then pop your back foot down really hard, and brush your front foot up the board.
It’ll take a while for you to master this trick, but once you got it, it will just come naturally.
After you learn it, go practice ollieing over things, or up things, or off things. I think this is a really fun move once you learn how to do stairs and gaps. Now go practice it!
