How to Ollie on a Tech Deck

Are you a fan of skateboarding? Nowadays, boys and girls are loving to spend a lot of their time skateboarding. But we are not here to go over the different skateboarding tricks. Actually, we will only be concentrating on a single trick - Ollie. I'm sure that if you love skateboarding, then you must have tried as many tricks as you can. However, this time, we won't be learning how to ollie on a real skateboard. In fact, we will learn a different trick. I am talking about fingerboarding, where just by using 2 or 3 fingers, you can work the skateboard accordingly. Now, don't worry; this skateboard isn't the big one you own. This is a miniature sport and it's really fun to do. We will need to use a tech deck for the trick. So let's not waste anymore time and get right to it. Trust me, the steps are very easy to perform.

Learning to do an ollie on a skateboard is not easy for beginners. But as you understand its concepts, you can brush up your skills even when at home. How? Very simple; all you need is a miniature tech deck ramp and skateboard. Yes! We're talking about learning how to do an ollie. Cool, isn't it? Well, what are you waiting for then. Let's begin.

Ollie with 2 Fingers

• Arrange the tech deck as per the instructions given. Keep the skateboard on the floor and place your index finger on the front skateboard.
• You will use your dominant hand to do the trick. Place the middle finger of the same hand on the back skateboard (tail).
• First we will put two fingers on the skateboard and then press down on. So push the board around.
• Press down on both fingers to see what happens to the board.
• To learn how this trick is done while moving, bring the board to where you want to do the trick and pop the back tail with the middle finger.
• As you do so, bring your index finger forward near where it says "T" on the tech deck (board).
• Slightly apply pressure in the front when the board is in the air. When the back board is high in the air, push it back down with both fingers.
• Land with both fingers and keep skating ahead afterward. If your fingers slide from the board, bring it back in place even when the board is in motion.
• As you keep excelling in this trick, try to practice doing ollie higher than before.

Ollie with 3 Fingers

• Arrange the tech deck as per the instructions given. We will use 3 fingers for this trick - index, middle, and ring finger.
• Keep the skateboard on the floor and place your index finger at the back of the front screws.
• Place your middle finger behind the tech deck's logo.
• And finally, the ring finger will go at the back of the board.
• First we will see what all 3 fingers do to the skateboard once pressed down on. So push the board around.
• Press down on all 3 fingers one by one to see what happens to the board.
• To do this trick with 3 fingers, first we will smack at the back of the board.
• Use your ring finger to smack on the tail and simultaneously, push the board forward.
• As you do so, the fingers should be on the board at all times.
• Your board will go up in the air and move forward when you smack the tail of the board.
• With all 3 fingers, try to land the board as you keep going forward.
• In the end, all you have to do is ride the board forward once it lands.
