How to Ollie on a Snowboard
Similar to skateboarding, one of the first tricks you want
to attempt on a snowboard is the ollie. An ollie is a practical trick that can
be used all around the mountain and is the precursor for more advanced tricks.
Is an ollie the same thing as jumping?
No, at first it may appear that an ollie is just someone
jumping off the snow with their snowboard. While technically this is true, the difference
is HOW you specifically jump off the snow. With an ollie, you don’t jump up
with both feet at the same time. Instead, you bring your front foot up first
followed by your back foot to do an ollie.
