Ollies and Nollies into butters The next step is to start ollieing and nollieing in. Ollies
and Nollies are covered in more detail on one of our other vids but here's a quick re-cap.
It's all about flexing your board until it wants to spring back pushing you into the
air. The movement is very similar to what we've just been doing with presses. Quickly
projecting your weight into the tail by shifting your hips will cause your board to bend then
use this energy to pop your tail from the ground. Nollies are the exact opposite. Ollies
from the nose. The more you pressure and flex your board, the higher you'll be able to ollie
and nollie. You can now start ollieing into and out of your butters. I know this seems
simple, but if you can do it well it'll make buttering tricks way easier. Do an ollie into
a nose press and see how long you can hold it for then nollie out, landing equally back
on both feet. For a challenge try nollieing into a nose press and nollie several times
between nose presses. It's difficult to keep the tail from slapping against the ground
after each nollie. For tail presses it's actually easier to nollie in rather then ollie. Can
you comfortably hold the pressed position for an extended period of time. Now ollie
out landing softly on both feet. For a challenge of your control try ollieing in, then ollie
between multiple tail presses.
