Skateboard Tricks
How to Do an Ollie on a Skateboard Ramp:
1. Get comfortable pumping on the transitions and turning front side high on the wall of the ramp.
2. Ride toward the top of the ramp with as much speed as comfortably possible.
3. Hit your tail as you reach the top of the wall, but not as hard as you would for an ollie on a flat surface.
4. Begin to suck your legs up as you go into the air. Let your speed propel you.
5. Stay above the board as much as possible, though the board will naturally lead a little.
6. Guide the turn of the board in the air with your front foot. Try to be about halfway through the turn at the peak of the ollie.
7. Keep the board inside of the ramp (so you don't land on the deck) by keeping your legs sucked up and under you.
8. Begin to stretch your legs back out as you return to the surface of the ramp.
9. Stay loose when you make contact with the ramp, and let your knees absorb the shock. Stay slightly compressed as you roll down the transitions.
