1. In order to learn this trick, you must feel confident with your ollies, because the nollie requires exactly the same concepts.

2. To begin, place your front foot comfortably on the nose and your back foot across the middle of the board.

3. Push down on the nose to get the pop: the harder you push, the higher you go. Now your back foot helps the board come off the ground by sliding up the board. What helped me was learning switch ollies while I was learning nollies.

4. When you feel like you've reached maximum flight, your board should have leveled out flat.

5. Now wait until you hit the ground, and like everybody says, roll away smoothly.

Note: If you're trying this trick over an object, you must start to nollie a little bit sooner so the nose can clear it.
