OLLIE
POSITIONING: put your front foot in the middle of the board, with your heel hanging off the side. put the ball of your back foot on the tail, with slightly more than a 20 degree angle towards the nose.
MOVEMENT:
1. bend your knees, but stay centered over the board.
2. put pressure on your back foot, but stay were you are. 3.straighten your legs, and slame down your tail. just with that, you should be able to get your back wheels off the ground.
4. turn your front foot at a 90 degree angle and slide it up until your foot catches the nose.
5. bring your back foot up. you should now be in the air, and the hard part has passed.
6. straighten your legs...again... (but for the first time, you don't really have to do this because you almost definetly won't get that high) until you hit the ground.
7. absorb the impact (mainly if your going off something of height) and roll away. a nice fist in the air and a high pitched, girly scream would do too, for the first timers.


THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE BEGINNING OF STEP NUMBER FIVE

pop shuvit

POSITIONING: pretty much the same as the ollie positioning, except you might want to put a little more of your back foot on. MOVEMENT: 1.start off the same as the ollie. 2. when you start standing up and slamming down the tail, you want to slide your tail behind you and get your front foot out of the way quickly. 3. lift your back foot off until the board spins a complete 180 degrees. 4. catch it by slamming your feet on it  when it completes the rotation. 5.straighten your legs until you feel your self the ground. absorb the impact and roll away yelling "oh yeah, oh yeah, i landed a pop shuviHIT!"  



frontside 180

POSITIONING: pretty much the same as the ollie but with your back foot off a little more. It helps the spin.






Movement: this is gonna be tricky, cause it will sound different for regular people. so if your regular, whenever it says right, think left and vice versa .the real movement: 1.)  wind up for the spin by turning your upper body left.
2.) start spinning  your upper body to the right, and when your upper body lines up with the rest of your body  start your ollie.                                                                 3.) keep on turning the upper body and ollieing.                 4.) when you get to the 90 degree point, level out your ollie. 
5) keep turning your upper body, but turn your legs too until you get to the 180 point.                                                    6) stomp your legs down so your don't over rotate             7) absorb the impact and roll a way doing an Irish tap dance.
