Nollie
- Skill:
- Pop an ollie from the nose of my board whilst travelling forwards
- Prerequisites:
- Ollie
What this trick is
A nollie is an ollie off the nose of the board whilst travelling forwards, popping the nose with your front foot.
Before you try it
Be comfortable riding in nollie stance, with your front foot on the nose and back foot just below rear bolts.
Try pressing down the nose to the ground whilst stationary to get used to the balance.
How to do it
- Foot Position: Front foot deep in the pocket of the nose. Back foot just behind back bolts.
- When travelling forwards, pop the board at a forwards angle with the direction of travel.
- Let your back foot catch the board as it comes up and level the board before landing.
Common mistakes
- Popping straight down - This acts as a brake, try to kick the board forwards ahead of you as you pop!
