I was skating with my friend and i did an ollie and flicked my back foot off the tail of the board and he said nice ollie south,so I was wondering if there is a trick called an ollie south because ive never heard of one until now.

I don't think there's such a trick as an "ollie north", so an "ollie south" probably doesn't exist. I imagine it's just a different way of doing a one footed ollie

ollie norths do exist ive seen Tony Hawk do them a couple of times.

Ollie norths exsist. I dont kknow about ollie souths.

Yeah, but people always grate into me about how "there's no such thing as ollie norths, they're called one footed ollies", so now I just say the same thing on impulse

ollie norths do exist ive seen Tony Hawk do them a couple of times.


He's saying that because the trick is actually called a ollie one-foot or a one-footed ollie, 'ollie north' is the THPS name which I think is inexact.

About those 'ollie souths', yeah they exist and I guess that's what you could call them, you would have to tweak them a lot for them to count though, most beginners have their back foot come off on their ollies by accident and that shouldn't be enough for them to become a different trick.

True, because for the ollie north you wait until you level out, so yeah , the beginner ollie theory wouldn't work until you level out.

The ollie south is a joke trick. That weird grab trick that all those guys do at WTH, its messing around.

if it's not an existing trick, you should start it

You didn't read this thread at all, did you?

Ollie south doesn't excist.. same for ollie north. This is just as MRCK says a nape made up by Tony Hawk for his games.. the real one foot ollie is invented by Rodney Mullen in 1984

no comply!!

Ollie north exists. It is also known as the ollie one foot. Don't say an ollie north doesnt exist.

Theres alot of names for tricks. people think they have made one then they give it a name when it already has one. :\ how silly. :)

That made no sense at all.

That made no sense at all.

Well everytime I hear people talking about ollie norths and ollie one-foots I get reminded of Frankie Hill's line in 'Propaganda', so I thought I would post it, then I thought I would post a link to the video for those who hadn't seen it since it's a legendary part and not too many youngsters know who Frankie Hill is, then I noticed a link to an interesting Frankie Hill interview in the comments and thought I would post it as well, I wanted to put as much information as I could into my post and it ended up to be completely offtopic, I guess I got carried away sorry :p

I thought ollie north was just regional slang for ollie-one-foots. Ollie-one-foot is the more correct one, but I didn't think the guys at neversoft made up "ollie north" just for the game.

But yeah, as for an ollie where the back foot kicks out, didn't they used to be called dog-pissers when done in halfpipes to fakie? I know they are called dog-pissers with a nosegrab, but I've also heard that they can still be called that without the grab...

Obviously would have to do some extreme tweakage, and even then would still look pretty bad.

no comply!!
No!!
please read the threads you post in, and dont make one-to-two-word-replys

ya me and my friends have expiramented with "ollie souths" or watever there called

It's a retarded ollie, not the hardest of tricks.


I don't know if it's got a name, though.

Nice Vid on Frankie Hill =D

Its a real trick, easy to do, people can do it by accident.

it often happens by acident, i hate trick nazis but i wouldnt consider it a seperate trick

but then what the fukk do i know, i do noseblunt powerlides

Besides "ollie north" sounds alot cooler than "one footed ollie" Right? Am i right?

well it seems like we all agree on that an "ollie north" is an ollie where your front foot comes up off the board...so it seems like an "ollie south" is an ollie where your back foot comes off teh board...or, at least, that would be the logical name for this. i don't really see what the problem is here

Well the problem is that it isn't really a trick. An ollie south would just be a crappy ollie that doesn't deserve to be a whole seperate trick. The only way i could see it being a trick is if you ollied and then at the peak of your ollie did an ollie north with your backfoot, but otherwise no.

ollie north exists. its not right to say ollie south because the ollie north is actually named after a person. oliver north. so its not referring to a direction making it wrong to say ollie south. saying ollie south is one of my biggest pet peaves in skateboarding.

if u want to get technical it depends on what direction your facing if your facing south and ollie and kick your front foot out it could be called ollie south, vica versa

Ive heard of them from friends.

i believe thats what it is. ive done them before but you have to really lift up your back foot to make sure people can tell whether you did it on purpose or just screwed up an ollie.

Yea, uh, I don't know if that's a real name called by the entire skateboarding community, but it can be done. You got some footage of it?

not a trick in my book.

It's kind of pointless, ollies norths are cool because you have to drag with that foot, kicking out with your back foot is really easy.

Ollie souths sound credible and fairly easy... Footage of that would be cool too. Hmm

I would say ollie souths are not real tricks. It was made just from a beginners ollie. When you first learn ollies, you have the `floating foot`. They are fun though, When I try those I do a split thingy in the air. When I do ollie norths, I ninja-kick out.

Ollie souths and norths both exist. Ollie norths are where you ollie and slide your front foot completely off the board and put it back before you land. Ollie souths are the same only with the backfoot.

yea it does exist olly souths and ollie north for sure search on google.

I know it exists i was saying if it was a real trick you should read the post that i made before you say anything.

yea. actually its not trick.


It's an excuse for doing a sketchy ollie.
Merging doublepost
not a trick in my book.


dude, that sounded so cool.


"Not in MY trickbook!" (not in my watch.)

I think North Ollies are Nollies. So, a south ollie would be the opposite, which I think is just a regular ollie.

I really hope this is a joke...


Just kidding. :icon_bigg I'm pretty sure that an ollie south is
just a really bad ollie that only your front
foot makes contact with the board in midair.

Edit: It's pretty funny if you meant it to be.

i think ollie north is just an older name for a one footed ollie.

first of all this thread isnt about ollie norths its about ollie souths and its the opposite ollie north is the new name for ollie one foots.

In order for an "ollie south" to really count you'd really have to kick that foot back. Still wouldn't be stylish and that'd probly make you land sketchy. I think the "ollie south" is out of the dictionary.

If you could full on leave the back foot behind and bone out the nose of the board on your front foot it'd the super rad!

One thing I learnt in this last snowboard season is stupid retarded tricks are by far the best ever because regular punters wont do them, shifty bonk rewinds are way cooler on a snowboard than cab 7's, period.

So when the rest of the kids are busting out 540 flips down 10 stairs in the future, roll up and rock out with the front footed boned ollie extravaganza. You'll be the most rad person there guaranteed.

Yea, just look at ragdoll. lol

Yes a south ollie is a real trick and they have a north ollie too, just to let you know.

Are you kidding? Nollie stands for nose ollie

yes a think its a the name of the tricks

When you are facing South and you ollie you Ollie south.

Ollie north exists. It is also known as the ollie one foot. Don't say an ollie north doesnt exist.

Rodney mullen invents alotta tricks =O
and yes I think ollie north exist and south .
but im not sure if its official or not .

instead.. do no-grab benihanas. those are just a hella boned out" ollie souths"
Merging doublepost
cause ollie souths arent tricks.

he did one, therefor they exist, jeez u guys make me wonder. ollie north, reverse it get an olie south, heck go for an ollie east if u want,.

Ollie north does exist and can also be called a one footed Ollie. Ollie south isn't a real trick and neither is Ollie west and Ollie east. Ollie south is just airfoot to sum it up

why cant anyone let this thread die and wither away lol

Ollie north = Ollie where you slide your front foot off the board and stick it out. Same with ollie south but your back foot.
They both exist.

We came to a conclusion that ollie souths are just sketchy ollies that beginners do accidentally.

now we can let this thread die.its 6 months old

Uhh i don't think there is such thing as an ollie south..
