Alright, well here's the second trick tips video from The Broken Teddy Group. The ollie is pretty much the most basic trick of modern skateboarding, so knowing it is pretty much mandatory if you want to be able to do anything else. A couple fun facts, the ollie was invented by Alan "Ollie" Gelfand. And it was Rodney Mullen who adapted the "Ollie" to flatland skateboarding. Which led to him creating ever so many flip tricks.

This guy "Pearso" wrote up a massive Ollie explanation on this forum. You should check it out if you're still having trouble.

    You start to, it's really really close, almost simultaneously. The main importance is that you snap the tail down, and slide your front foot up, pretty much as you're jumping.
