Nollie Tricks

Nollie is a Switch Fakie Ollie.

First the feet position: Your normal front foot on the tail and your normal back foot in the middle of the board. This trick is harder to learn while moving so learn it standing still then while moving.

With your foot that is on the tail snap it down as hard as you can, and your foot that is in the middle drag it up. This is a lot like learning to Ollie so if you can't Nollie to well then think about a Ollie.

When you learned to Switch Ollie, Nollies should not be all that hard anymore.

Just remember to snap your foot that is on the tail down as quick as possible and remember to drag your foot! To Nollie higher you need to remember to pop as quick as possible and drag your foot.

Bend your knees when you are taking off, and expand then when popping. I can't say much more about this just remember to practice.

Nollie Kickflip

This trick is pretty hard to do. But with practice its easy. You should first try this switch then go Nollie.

You should know how to Nollie and somewhat flip the board. If not then practice until you can.

Note: By somewhat flip the board It has to be close under your feet. Set up for what you normally front foot on nose back foot in middle at 45 degree angle.

Go at a speed you feel comfortable with then pop your nose. Then flick the board so it starts spinning a Kickflip.

Try to get high above the board the higher you get, the easier this is.

In the air try to level yourself out so your balanced then when the board is finished spinning catch it and try to ride away clean.

Nollie Heelflip

This trick is easier in switch. You need to know how to Nollie and heel flip.

Set up as in a heel flip position but in Nollie too. Have your front foot in the middle of the nose/tail and your back foot in the middle with your toes hanging off.

When you pop the board up kick your back foot out. Tuck up your feet. And catch the board when you see the grip tape. Ride away smoothly.

Nollie FS Shove it

OK set up like a Nollie the put your front foot on the far side of the nose. Kick your front foot inward so the board will spin.

After you can spin it try to land it.

The board usually jumps forward so try to stay over it. This shouldn't be too hard of a trick but its a good one to know.

Nollie BS Shove it

This trick is a more basic, not in the sense that beginners do it, because it is a nollie trick and nollies are more novice then begginer.

Setup exactly like a nollie, slide your popping foot, the foot on the nose a bit back so that it's just on the edge of the board.

Go at a fair speed and pop or kick your foot forward to create the 180 rotation of the board and jump while doing that.

Simpley land back on and ride away. This trick is easy to do without pop and a lot harder with.

Of course, with pop this trick looks a lot better. This trick should come very easy, maybe 15 minutes to learn if you are at this stage. Just remember to jump and don't be afraid to land on your board.

This trick looks great coming out of a nosemanual!
