Nollie:

In order to do the nollie you must become quite familiar with the switch-stance Ollie. Then you should begin riding normal (If you're goofy ride goofy and if regular then ride accordingly). As you are moving, set up your feet for a switch Ollie off the nose (Click here for a description of a "Nollie Stance"). Follow directions of an Ollie except off the nose.

The Nollie Kick

Flip:

1) Set up going forward just like you do a kickflip, but in the nollie position.

2) You should already know how to nollie and flip the board, nollie.

3) Before you try landing them going nollie, try switch kickflips on carpet or on grass.

4) Once you can land them, try them going nollie.

5) Hit the nose and flip the board whichever way you feel most comfortable.

6) It helps to jump really high to have more accuracy when you land on the board.

7) Balance your weight and ride away. Don't slip out. It hurts!

 

The Nollie to Kickflip:
This is a completely different trick than a nollie kickflip. In this trick you nollie, then flip the board with your front foot like it was a normal kickflip. It is very very similar to a nollie pressure flip. To do the trick, nollie real high. When you begin to level out the board slide back with your front foot and kick in down. Then get your feet out of the way. When it comes around catch it like a kickflip. Land. Ride. Very difficult but keep on trying'.

 

The Nollie Heelflip

To do this trick position your front foot halfway on the nose. Put your back foot just before the back bolts, with the toe just over the edge and the heel just over the edge. Pop the nollie and flick your foot out and quickly bring it back in. This trick is hard to get high but practice makes perfect.
