THE OLLIE

In skateboarding there are many tricks but without learning the ollie theres not much you can do on a skateboard.  This trick is simple, its getting your board to jump off the ground using your feet.  How you would do an ollie would be to push down on the tail creating "pop" in the tail and then with your front foot slide it up toward the front of the board.  This is a trick that takes practice to do well but once you learn them you can ollie down steps, over rails, over puddles, ollie into grinds or over your neighbors garbage cans that he puts out blocking the sidewalk and that really fun bump to roll over on your skateboard.  Now those garbage cans won't stop you from having fun on your way to getting that great gas station burrito that you've been thinking about all day.
