Instructions
Step 1
Determine which leg is your kicker and which is your lead. The one that is most comfortable to hit the ball is the jerk. This foot should be used to push off on the skateboard. You must put it back. Leading the same, put forward.
Step 2
Don't accelerate too much. Place the foot of your dominant foot in the middle of the skateboard deck or near the front bolts, and your jog foot on the tail of the board. Concentrate, bend your knees and get ready to jump.
Step 3
Make a click - basic ollie move. This is a sharp pressure, a blow with the feet of the jogging leg on the tail of the board. A moment after clicking, push off the ground along with the skateboard. It's like jumping on one leg. At the same time, the leading leg is extended, so the nose of the board rushes up. From the force of the click of envy, the height of the ollie.
Step 4
Hood. When the tail of the board has lifted off the surface and the nose is already lifted, pull the skateboard. Stretching is when the inwardly curved foot of the leading foot slides forward and upward along the skin of the board. This movement helps the board rise into the air.
Step 5
Flight and landing. Pulling out the skate will lift it into the air. Control your center of gravity while flying. It should be in the center of the skateboard. You can imagine that you are in a box, the length of which corresponds to the length of the board. Try not to go beyond the boundaries of the imaginary box, keep in the center of it.
Step 6
The duration of the flight depends on the quality of the retraction. Then you need to land correctly. Place your feet in the area of the bolts to avoid breaking the board. Do not lean back too much or bend forward too much. Remember the center of gravity. Please land.
