Enuff Academy
OLLIE
In this Enuff Academy, Geoff will be teaching the basis for almost every flip trick, it’s called the Ollie and it is getting the skateboard into the air.
We'd like to say a big thank you to ATBShop Skate Warehouse for letting us film in their park and Geoff from Rubicon for his time and expertise.
HOW TO OLLIE ON A SKATEBOARD
Place your back foot onto the tail, toes in the centre of the tail.
Place your front foot just before the bolts.
Push down with your back foot pushing the tail into the ground.
Drag your front foot up the skateboard, this will give the height.
Once the board is in the air, push down trying to level the board out.
Land with wide feet and bent knees.
TAKING THE OLLIE FURTHER
Once you begin mastering the Ollie, progress the technique by clearing objects. Start with a chalk line and move on to a stick, a brick, a board... Ollie everything!
NOW GO PRACTISE!
We hope you enjoyed this Enuff Academy, now get skating!
