It’s a fundamental move that every skater needs to know, and it can be done on any type of deck – including a Tech Deck. If you’re new to skateboarding, or just trying to learn how to Ollie on a Tech Deck, here’s a quick step-by-step guide.
What is an Ollie?

The Ollie Trick
The ollie is a skateboarding trick where the skater pops the board into the air without using their hands. It is considered one of the most important tricks to learn as it is the basis for most other tricks. The ollie can be done on any type of skateboard, but it is most commonly done on a tech deck.
Set up your board
Before you can start learning how to ollie on a Tech Deck, you need to make sure your board is properly set up. This includes adjusting the trucks so they are level with each other, and setting the wheels to the correct tightness. Once your board is set up, you’re ready to start learning how to ollie!
Place your front foot
You will need to place your front foot in the middle of the board and put pressure on it to make the nose of the board pop up. The back foot will be placed near the back trucks. You can use either an old-school or nollie grip.
Place your back foot
When you are ready to try an Ollie, place your back foot on the center of the board. You will also want to make sure that your foot is flat on the deck and in line with the nose of the board. You can use either end of the Tech Deck to practice this move, but it may be easier to start at the nose.
Pop the board
One of the most basic, and yet essential, skateboarding tricks is the ollie. The ollie is how you get the board up in the air to do all those awesome tricks you see in skate videos. Without being able to ollie, you’re pretty much limited to just riding around on your board, which gets old fast. Luckily, once you learn how to ollie, it’s a skill that you’ll have forever.
To do an ollie on a tech deck, start by putting your front foot in the center of the deck. Then, place your back foot behind the tail of the deck. Next, bend your knees and push down on the tail of the deck with your back foot topop the board up into the air. As you’re popping the board up, lift your front foot off of the deck and use it to help guide the board into a small jump. Finally, land back on the deck with both feet and ride away!
Land your feet
The Ollie is the bread and butter of skateboarding tricks. It’s the move that enables you to get air and do all sorts of other neat stuff on your board. If you want to learn how to do an Ollie, it’s important that you land your feet in the right spot.
Tips for Landing an Ollie
Before you can Ollie, you need to understand what an Ollie is and how it’s done. An Ollie is a skateboarding trick where the board and rider pop into the air without the use of their hands. The rider then uses their feet to land on the deck,while their back foot stabilizes the board in mid-air.
If you’re new to skateboarding, or if you’ve never tried an Ollie before, don’t worry! It may seem complicated or even impossible at first, but with a little practice anyone can learn how to do an Ollie.
Here are a few tips to help you land your first Ollie:
-Start by riding your Tech Deck down a gentle slope. This will help you get a feel for the board and how it moves.
-When you’re ready to try an Ollie, place your front foot near the center of the deck and your back foot just behind the tail. Bend your knees and crouch down low.
-Explode upwards from your crouched position, using your legs to jump into the air. As you jump, swing your back foot up and towards the nose of the board. Your front foot should also be lifted slightly off the ground.
-As you reach the height of your jump, use your back foot to flick/kick the nose of the deck upwards. At the same time, snap your front foot down onto the deck so that it sticks in place. This motion should cause the board to pop up into the air.
-As the board pops up, lean back slightly and guide it underneath your feet with your body weight. Land on top of the deck with both feet placed evenly across it (left foot in front if you’re regular-footed; right foot in front if you’re goofy-footed).
-Once you’ve landed, ride away and enjoy!
Conclusion
In conclusion, performing an Ollie on a Tech Deck is not as difficult as it may seem. With enough practice, you’ll be able to land this move consistently. Just remember to keep your body and deck balanced, use your back foot to push off the ground, and snap your wrists at the right time. With these tips in mind, you’ll be pulling off Ollies like a pro in no time!
