| Needless to say, it is necessary to learn to ollie first. Setting up for it is essentially the same as for an ollie, but as you crouch down for the pop, wind up your body a little by turning yout torso backside (your leading hand should reach across your stomach). As you hop into the ollie, unwind by twisting your torso frontside. By the time your tail smacks the ground, your torso should be ahead of your legs; when the board lifts into air, youy body is already turning frontside, pulling your legs along. Your legs, in turn, are pulling your feet along, which is guiding your board around with you. You're board should remain directly beneath you the entire time. When you,ve turned all the way around and the board is lined up and drifting fakie, extend your legs and land. |
