The ollie is the key way of jumping with your board with out using your hands. Take as long as it needs to get this trick right as you'll use it to perform lots of other different tricks.
Step 1: Get rolling and put your back foot on the tail. Your front foot should be between the middle of the board and the trucks
Step 2: Push the tail down hard onto the ground and take all the weight off the front foot. Jump your backfoot up and forward. Drag your front foot to the nose as soon as you lift your back foot.
Step 3: Lift your knees as you continue to drag your front foot to the boards nose. The dragging and lifting actions help suck the board up with your jump. Keep your body above the board.
Step 4: Control the board with your feet to level out in the air. Aim to land on all four wheels at the same time. Crotch as you land to absorb the landing.
Try an ollie without moving at first.
