How to Ollie!
|
Here is how to "Ollie"...
1. Rock to your back foot, putting all of your weight back until the tip of the board is off the snow.
2. Then jump off your back foot getting a little bit of air.
3. Land the board flat on both feet.

The Ollie is a beginner trick that teaches you how to jump the board and catch air. Remember that you are are going to take off on a flat board, so you want to land it flat.
Practicing Ollies gets you used to getting air. Practice on the flat first and then set up for a couple of jumps. Ollies off of jumps get more air.
