Most skateboarding tricks are based on just one move, the Ollie. During an Ollie, a skateboarder leaps into the air with the board seemingly glued to their feet. The Ollie is used to jump over just about anything. The following steps will guide you through how to learn to Ollie.

Skateboarding first started back in the 1940s. Many kids had scooters then but these were expensive, those kids who could not afford scooters took the wheels from their rollerskates and nailed them to pieces of wood. They also nailed a handle to the board so they could use it as a makeshift scooter. Pretty soon the handle was removed and the kids would ride just on the wooden board and wheels.

A skateboard trick or simply a trick can be defined as some movement other than simply rolling that is performed on or with a board. Most skateboarders spend a large portion of their time learning new skateboard tricks.
