As you come down off of the curb, extend your legs and keep control of the board. Try to land all four wheels of the board at the same time.

As you land, compress your knees and legs deeply. This will absorb the shock of landing, it will help you keep control, and it will look pretty cool too.

Try to keep your weight even between your two trucks as you land. This will help with balance.

And that's how to ollie off of a curb! Make sure these instructions make sense, and keep practicing!

Once you've mastered this trick, you can move on to ollying off of ramps, or even ollying off of stairs!
