Ollie

The root of all skatboarding tricks is your ollie.Place your feet as followed: Back foot on the tail and the front in the middle of your board. With the back foot quickly pop your foot down and snap it back up. At the same time you are popping you should be Dragging your front foot up the board. As soon as your front foot reaches the front truck you need to but your back foot on the back trucks and push down. The ground is coming so bend your knees. The key word is DRAG you have to drag your foot up a lot of people just slam their for as soon as they pop but you need to DRAG. Usually what happens is you learn to slam your foot down as soon as you pop I can't say enough about this because almost everyone slams. YOU NEED TO DRAG!! Another thing that happens but not as much and this bad habit can be easily fixed. When you pop sometimes your board doesn\'t get in the air because you didn\'t snap you foot back up. You need to put your foot back as quick as possible

For this grind you may want to go faster than you normally do. ride up to the side of your object ( for goofy riders go to the left side , For regular riders go to the right) and ollie 90 degreese as you would if you were to boardslide. Make your nose of your board get onto the object,and slide across. when you come to the end, turn your board back to your regular possition (regular/goofy). and ride away.

2-Ride up going striat on to the rail. ollie onto the rail with feet on the bolts of your board.Grind across and at the very end of the rail simply lift up (like a manual) and land on both bolts. Ride away

Start off by goin at a normal speed, so that you have enough speed to get across the object. Place your feet like an ollie and as you approach the railollie up and make your board spin 90 degreese. (before you boardslide practice ollieing 90 degreese as you would while you boardslide) when you start to get up on the rail make sure your feet are on the bolts or atleast somewhere near it.slide all the way arcoss . When you you come to the end of the slide turn your board to your regular possition. Ride away. ( for longer rails go faster or just simply wax it up)
