Can't ollie :-(
This is my third season snowboarding and would like to learn some
tricks. I tried to ollie but it seems I'm not doing it the right way, I can jump but I think I'm not at all using the flex of my board. I try to raise my front foot instead of pushing both feet to the floor but my board doesn't fold!!! Is my Burton Clash 158 too stiff ? Am I doing that the wrong way ? Can you describe the correct way to ollie a snowboard ? or should I take a lesson? thanks for any help! |

Are you using the tail to spring off of? The best why to practise an
ollie is to put your board on while at home and jump on the carpet. I like to ollie on and off of my coffee table, but the wife gets mad at me :-) Practise rocking back on the tail. You should get "the feel" for the flex in your tail. Once you can ollie standing still, practise olling (?sp) off of and over obsticles. Start with small moguls and move up from there. I like to ollie over pine cones and rocks. This will help with your timing. |
