Depending on your natural ability, learning to ollie will take up most of your free time for a while to come. It may to you three weeks, three months or longer, but keep at it. You may have a natural talent for skateboarding that is hiding behind the difficulty of learning the fundamentals.
Learning how to ollie on a skateboard while rolling will keep you from having to learn it twice. It’s different standing still. Start by placing your back foot squarely in the middle of the tail. Your front foot should be placed further back than normal, a few inches behind the front truck. The rest of the trick must be done in one fluid motion.
You’ll need to jump as high as you can using only your back foot, while taking all the weight off your front foot and lifting it high. As you get airborne, bring your back foot up to the same level as your front foot and, simultaneously, use the outside of your front foot to level off the skateboard in the air.

One of the hardest parts of the ollie is learning to pop the tail off the ground at just the right moment when you jump. You will learn to love this sound. Saying a board has good pop is a serious compliment.
