How to Do an Ollie Impossible on a Skateboard

This is a fun freestyle skateboarding move that takes what looks impossible to do to the next level. Basically you want to create pressure on the board that makes it pop up in the air and roll, wrapping around your foot. It's a very smooth advanced move.

Instructions

      Place your feet on each end of the skateboard. Have your rear foot over the tail and the front foot at the board's nose. Adjust the stance for comfort. A few skaters feel more comfortable with the forward foot closer to the middle of the board.

      Get up to speed. While you are going, press down on your legs to apply pressure on your board. Shift the majority of your body weight to the forward foot. This will give the board a good pop when you release the pressure. Be sure to keep your balance while doing this.

      Release and jump. This is the tricky part that makes or breaks the move. Release the pressure from your foot while at the same time you jump. Shift your weight back to get an even better pop.

      Scoop the board up with the back foot as you jump. Wrap the board around your front foot by moving your rear foot slightly forward when the board goes up. Guide it around.

      Time your landing. Watch the board's rotation around your foot and jump back onto it once it makes it complete turn and is near the ground. Roll away with a grin. You've just done the Impossible.
