This is Fred from ChampNewsWeekly live at The Champ Skate Park as Champ300 teaches everyone how to do an ollie!
This technique is the basis for most other skateboarding tricks. It allows a skater to jump over an obstacle, or onto a step or low wall, while the board appears to stick to the skater's feet. Always wear a helmet and knee and elbow pads when your skateboarding.
1. As you skate, place your back foot on the tail (back) of the board, and your front foot halfway between the nose (front)of the board and the tail.
2. Crouch down in readiness to jump. Push down on the tail with your back foot.
3. Now straighten your legs, effectively jumping into the air. The downward force on the tail will make the board come up with your front foot.
4. As the board rises, slide your front foot toward the nose. Then with that, push down on the nose.
5. Lift your other foot to allow the tail to rise as the downward force is applied to the nose.
6. The board will be level as you reach the peak of the jump. Then gravity takes hold and you, and the board, come down.
7. As you come down, bend your legs to absorb the impact.
