How am I a poser? I can skateboard, i just can't do any tricks. I have just been learning on doing tricks, I used to skate all the time to get me from point A to point B, just never any tricks

I just started skating too but I can ollie half the time..

Anyway, I used to do what you're doing. I learned that you have to really bend down before you start to pop/jump. Also, pop hard and suck your legs up.

It's a lot easier to do it when you're holding on to something, when you're first learning anyway. So, try it while like holding on to your car or something.

Hope I helped :]

Here is the basic way to ollie- First, have your front foot half way up the board, your back foot ready to pop. Stomp down hard on the tail, and the slide your front foot up to the first set of screws. Make sure you land on the front wheels first!:icon_peac
