SK8BOARDING AT IT'S MOST
The Ollie
First you have to have your feet in the correct positioning. Put your back foot on the tail of the
board, and your front foot just behind the screws. Now here comes the hard part, the movement.
First, pop your tail down, until it hits the ground. By pop I mean slam it down. As the tail hits the
ground slide your foot up the board. Your toe will catch the nose of the board and it should bring
the board of the ground. When you get into the air try to flatten out the board. To get as high as
possible, suck your feet in like a vaccum when you reach the peak of your ollie. As you start to
fall put your legs down, and when they touch the ground, have your legs act like shocks and
absorb the fall. That's it, now just ride away.
Kick-Flip
It's foot positioning is slightly different from the ollie's. Your back foot still goes on the tail of the
board. The front foot goes just behind the screws, like the ollie, except your heel has to hang off
of the heel edge. Now pop your back foot down. Instead of just sliding it forward, slide it off of
the heel edge also. Try to stay centered above the board as it spins under your legs. Be sure to
stay well above it. As it finishes the final turn land on the top and roll away.
Board Slide
The first step is to learn the ollie. Here's the steps for the slide. Approach the curb, bench, tree,
rail, rock whatever, and prepare to ollie (make sure you're going at the object at a slight angle).
Also make sure your feet are set right. Put your front foot in between the front screws and the
middle of the board. Put your back foot on the tail, like usual. As you get close to the object, ollie.
Instead of just ollieing straight though, turn at a 90 degree angle also If you do this right you should
land on the object with the middle of the board Don't worry about board crackage, just ride. The
easiest way to get off is to ride off the end of whatever it is, and turn back 90 degrees
Varial Flip
OK all you little flip monkeys. The Mighty Fletcher has returned. This another clip from about 2 years ago, when the 12 year old Fletcher already had the Varial Flip down. The varial kickflip is a combination of the backside pop shoveit (coming soon) and the ollie kickflip. You will want to know both of these moves before learning this one. The board does a 180 under you, while it also flips. Pretty cool.
