Nollieing on a skateboard can be a great way to improve your skills and tricks. Here are a few tips to help you get started.

What is a nollie?

A nollie is a type of skateboard trick where the skateboarder pops the board off the ground by striking it down with the front foot while riding in your regular stance, and then landing back on the board. In longer terms, it’s called a nose ollie, but the skaters have dubbed it as a nollie.

How to do a nollie on a skateboard

Nollie skating is a pretty advanced trick. It’s a variation of the ollie where you pop the board off the ground with your back foot. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. Make sure you have plenty of room to do the trick. Nollies can be pretty dangerous if you don’t have enough space to bail out if you mess up.

2. Get comfortable doing ollies before you try the nollie. The nollie is basically just an ollie with the nose involved.

3. Pop the board off the ground with your front foot. Use your toe to pop the board up, and then slam it down with your back foot so the tail is evenly facing the ground with the nose.

4. Land with both feet on the bolts. This will help keep the board under control.

5. Practice, practice, practice. Like with any other trick, the more you practice, the better you’ll get.

Where to practice your nollie

There are a few places that you can go to practice your nollie. One place is at a skatepark. There are usually some good obstacles to try your nollie on there. Another place is in a parking lot. There are usually some good flat surfaces to try your nollie on there. And lastly, you can go to a street where there are some good obstacles to try your nollie on.

Benefits of learning to nollie

There are many benefits to mastering the nollie. Perhaps the most obvious is that it will unlock the whole range of nollie tricks for you. The nollie is a difficult trick, and learning it will improve your confidence and in turn, skills in other tricks as well.

So if you’re looking to become a better skateboarder and to become more confident, be sure to master the nollie. It’s a trick that will definitely pay off.
