1. Set up with your back foot in the ollie position. Anywhere on the tail is pretty much good, I put my foot on the tip for some pop. Some put it way on the side. Now for the front foot, there are a couple places. I like to put it right in the middle and a little slanted, but some tend to put it just below the front bolts and angled. Just experiment to find what is right for you. Make sure to have your front foot on the board a ways, you want to have everything on except your heel, and then you can angle your foot.

2. Pop the tail and slide your front foot up like an ollie, but instead flick it off the dip where the nose starts. Remember, its a flick with more of your toe than anything. While your flicking it off the top you wanna lift up your back leg so the board can flip. If you don't the result is the board wont flip right.

3. This part gets some people stumped. "I land before the board does!!" well this is where you gotta JUMP! Make sure to jump!!!!!!!

4. Now lets go freeze frame. Your in the air and your board is flipping under you. A half second more and your gonna land and complain about only landing one foot. No more of this. Back to the freeze frame, after you flicked your foot out and you have your back foot up, you wanna bring back your front foot and bring down your back foot. Simple, but for many that is a problem. If your foot hits the board while your bringing it back, bring it back faster and jump a little higher.


Possible problem: I only land with my back foot. Remedy: Remember to bring it back, but sometimes you're just scared to land it. So grow some balls and just stomp it down.

Possible problem: I only land with my front foot. Remedy: You have to make a clean level flip so that when you bring down your back foot, it goes right onto the bolts. Sometimes its just because you dont bring up your back foot straight, and it goes out and all over the place, and you don't land anywhere near with your back foot. Just remember that it has to go straight up.
