The nollie stance is a combination of the FAKIE and SWITCH stances. Put them together and you have NOLLIE stance.

The name "nollie stance" was derived from the trick invented called the nollie (the fakie, switch stance ollie). Then it was realized that any trick could be done this way. So they made a stance.

As a result we got nollie flips and nollie 180's galore.

The quick way to get into a nollie stance is to get in your normal stance and scoot up to the front of your board.
