Ollie



An ollie is a hop and the most basic trick for the scooter. It is associated with the slang term, "air" as the higher you ollie, the more "air" you will get. The ollie is the first step for many other complex tricks like the 180° or the Tail Whip.

How To
Start off by carefully positioning your feet. Your back foot should be near the back of the deck, with a raised heel and your weight centered. The front foot should be near the head of the scooter and angled forward. Be comfortable with the balance and push down with your back foot. Immediately follow by jumping up, leading with your back foot and follow with your front foot after sliding it right to the front of the deck. While jumping, pull up the handlebars to gain more height and bend your knees to cushion the landing.
