Next step

After you learn your ollie and you want to try and learn some harder tricks go for either pop shove it's or 180's. Those two tricks are basic and easy to learn. Fun fact I can do kick flips and varial flips, but I can't always do a pop shove it, so my advice is to learn them earlier. 

We are going to start out learning 180's. A 180 is an ollie but you turn your body 180 degrees. It's half of a circle. These aren't that hard at all. It sounds like a hard trick, but it's really not that hard there are only like 3 steps you need to follow. First you need to get ollies down for sure. After you're perfect with your ollies just put your back foot on the tail of your board and push down so you're in a manual (balanced on only two wheels) and spin around. Depending on which way you spin it'll be either a front side (FS) or backside (BS) 180. You only have to give it a little ollie. You start to turn before you ever pop the board to do an ollie. Then while you are popping start to turn even more in the direction you want to do it. Then you'll land it switch or in fakie. Either way you land it might be hard for you to roll away if you can't ride switch.

For pop shove it's, they're really easy and I can barely do them. The first thing you want to do it ride your board. Then you put your front foot under the bolts and have your foot at an angle like this / if you're regular and \ if you're goofy. The only thing you have to do is pop the board and scoop your back foot back. Then with your front foot just pick it up off the board so it can spin then slam the board down. That's all it is. It's honestly easier then an ollie.
