Default Re: Skateboard Jumping Question

I am a former skateboarder. Doing an ollie is a real pain at the beginning. But now, even after 3 years of non-skate, I can still do it.

I think this is how it is done :
You jump, pushing a little more on your back foot. The board will then make an angle. While doing the angle, you are accending up in the air.

The angle combined with the grip makes enough friction that your front foot drag the skate into the air. Then you just positionate the board with your foot ( so it is straight)
