Summary: Skateboarding has come a long way from its modest origins in the innocent suburbs of America in the 1950s. At first, a skateboard was nothing more than a wooden plank with wheels. We can now thank the radical, mind-altering attitudes of the televised revolution that was the 1960s for the increased popularity and production of skateboards. Certainly designated as “what the cool kids do,” skateboarding's third generation has taken the sport to a whole new level. Nearly every man, woman, and child knows someone who has skated or is currently skating. Though known as a popular hobby for the youth counter culture and modern day punk scene, skateboarding has been accepted by all kinds of people and age groups.
Regardless of what social group you belong to, if you’re going to skateboard, you have to learn the most essential of tricks, the one that all other skateboarding tricks are built around—yes, my friends, I’m talking about the ollie. The ollie is the trick that allows you jump over objects, curbs, ramps, grabbing some air for a simple landing, or moving into a more complicated trick. In these skate video lessons, learn the basic mechanics of the ollie, including how to pop and jump, where to put your feet, how to jump higher and farther, how to ollie on a ramp, do a goofy ollie, and more beginner skateboarding tips.
