one foot ollie

one foot ollie

For a one foot ollie (a.k.a. „ollie north“ to Tony Hawk’s computerboarders…) your front foot slides over the nose, gets stretched away and put back on the board. You will need a solid ollie that flattens out quickly, so practice that first.

1. Ride at moderate speed.
2. Place your front foot halfway on the front screws.
3. Place your back foot in the middle of the tail to get good pop but maintain a bit of looseness.
4. Shift your body weight towards the back foot.
5. Bend your knees and pop the ollie.
6. As you pull the ollie slide the ball of your front foot up the griptape exactly between the front bolts to prevent the board from flipping.
7. As the board flattens at the highest point of your ollie, slide your front foot over the nose and tap it away at a slight downward angle.
8. Loop your front foot out, then up and return it to the front bolts before landing.
9. Land with your feet on the bolts, roll away and smile.
