How to ollie

If you want to learn how to ollie on a skateboard, you need to gather the following materials:

1- A skateboard (DUH!)
2- Protective gear (helmets, elbow pads, knee pads)
3- 2 tons of guts
4- Patience

Before trying to ollie on a skateboard, you first have to put on your protection. Not because i'm a wimp, it's because knee pads are virtually indestructible, at least when falling off something and landing on them. Remember this, if you ever fall, ALWAYS land on your knees. Since you're wearing your knee pads you won't feel anything!

Step 1- Put 1 foot in the middle of the board and you're other foot on the very tip of the board
Step 2- Using the foot at the tip of the board, press as hard as you can while jumping at the same time. If the board comes up, awesome!
Step 3- Using both your feet, try and keep the board under you, not at the sides, and not behind you. Directly under you.
Step 4- Try and land without slipping off

If you manage to do it, that's great! Just remember normal skaters take about 2 weeks to learn this, so don't expect to get it on your first try. That's actually why you need a lot of patience. I quit skateboarding because I am a very impatient person.

Until next time, see ya!
