the ollie

this is the most basic trick there is. its the first you should learn. this requires perfect timing.
first you must have your front foot in the middle of the board and the backfoot on the tail.
then you must snap down the tail and at the same time jump up.
as you jump you must slide your front foot to the front bolts leveling the board in the air.(to gain more height bend down a much as possible and bing your knees up to your chest. you can also use your front foot to gain more height.)
for the last part, come down and land while bending your knees to absorb the shock.
