-Learn the Ollie-
-Performed by James Craig-
Step 1. Place your feet comfortably on your board, the ball of your front foot should be centered behind the front truck (the further your front foot is behind the front truck, the higher you'll be able to ollie). The ball of your back foot should be centered on the tail.
Step 2. Bend your knees and smack the tail, lifting up your front foot at the same time, and you'll need to jump with it.
Step 3. As your board lifts off the ground, use your front foot to level the board-you can do this by sliding it forward.
Step 4. Suck up your knees until you reach your peak height. At this point, your font foot should be over the front truck.
Step 5. When landing, extend your legs toward the groung, but still keep them somewhat bent to absorb the shock of landing.
Step 6. Ride away smooth.
