    practice, and make sure you slamming down on the tail hard enough, and are actually jumping up in the air too.

    It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

    Ignore the rock thing I didn't even notice that it wasn't on a real skateboard rofl. But the footing and steps are essentially the same though.

    Slam down on the tail.
    Jump with pressure from your back foot.
    Lean forward.
    Land.

    I don't really know how to explain it xD My english is so bad that it's hard to find the right words for it o.O Don't know if I should call it slam the tail down and slide your food up while you jump. I could also say kick your tail down and slide your other food up while you jump "



    Now I really think about it, I really have to improve my english xD

    Thanks for replies guys.

    LOL @ Your signature dark sin. I'm twelve, and I'm one of the smartest kids in my school, and, my IQ is just a little over 135. 600, Epic fail.

    Don't you mean Epic win? 600>135 you foolish child!

    Not that it matters to me because my IQ is over 8999. Well above any of you onrpg tards.

    I meant epic fail as, the 10 year old with a claimed 600 IQ fails, no one today can achieve 600 IQ

    stand on the board with one foot on the tail and your other on the front bolts.
    Tap the tail and slide up foot that was on the bolts forward to push the board back to a horizontal position so u can land.

    Move ur feet to where they are most comfortable. when i do flip tricks i usaully put my front foot somewhere in the middle of the board instead of the bolts.

    Also maybe u should try Aggressive Rollerblading. Check out My video in my sig.
    Who know i thought it was lame before i quit skateboarding to try it out. idk just a thought

    You won't get any good advice outside of visual media. With that said, OnRPG is the wrong stop to ask this.

    You have to not be afraid of sliding your front foot forward while airbourne.

    That is all.

    You're a ****ing idiot for a smart guy with an IQ of 135.

    Go back to page 3 or 2 and read my posts on what the hell you should do.

    Your bitchy attitude and vague post telling him to "try popping it" aren't really very helpful.

    I think my visual aid on the first page should help though =D

    Yes, it did, thank you. I'm going to go practice now.

    Hopefully I won't fall so much and have to /facepalm myself again =/

    Follow the diagram and it takes about a week to just lift like an inch off the ground. Oh btw. When you fall
    don't try and land on your elbows. Crawl into a ball and fall on your ass and use your hands to stop you from hitting your head.


    Also. **** fruitboots.


    Also ollies are frustrating but the most frustrating trick you will every and learn will probably be a kickflip god it makes you wanna snap your board in half.

    P.S. Stay away from boardslides.
