Is there somewhere maybe a video of a good ollie? If i do it on rubber, the friction stops the skis and i go well.... kinda high... but on snow its just like i'm putting my energy to move backwards an i go like 1 inch high:(
you actually dont NEED to snap it. i ollie outa manuals all the time
but yea, ollies, what everyone else said. you might wanna try doin it while on edge. its a bit easier to figure out, and it tosses you into a nice 180. but you should be able to get at LEAST 2 ft with some practice. ive seen people ollie picknic tables, and i myself have no problem gettin over a 3 ft caution fence. nollies are alot harder to actually get any substancial pop.
yeah, try it first while on edge (in a turn, carving to the direction you naturally spin. it gives you a bit more solid platform, and preloads your skis a bit more than bein flatbased
but yeah, they are fairly simple, its like crouching, popping, and jumping off your heels while liftin your toes.
it helped me to get them (ollies) right and higher when i did them on small bumps or before the slope gets steeper, you are longer in the air and for some reason it helps you to get the feeling right,
there you can ride for a few seconds with lifted tips, wait for the bump, and just let it go, (easy to put nice looking 1s or 3s in them), without the bump you just need to be faster and flexier,
the next funny things are nose and tail turns, i think they are pretty much linked to nollies and ollies
when ur olling ur pretty much just leaning back and then hopping then snapping ur feet foreward right? how does snapping ur feet foreward help? ya im new 2 all this
