im trying to learn nollies off the lip of jumps and i was just wondering if anyone else is trying them. should i like scissor one step or should i just try and keep my feet together and nollie both of them?
thanks

oh yeah im talking about doing them off of jumps not rail kickers.

ummm do u plan on doin a fronter off the jump? cause i see no way that a nollie off a jump bigger than 15ft would work......it would make for a sick 180 though

Nick Martini kind of does a weird nollie 180 off a jump in his new edit. just try and keep you weight back a little to make up for the fact that you are popping forward

yeah i kind of got them off some little jumps. i just nollie the flat part of the jump and then 180. but its weird because it drives you forward then you have to shift your weight back. its kind of sketchy nose diving into a jump and trying to go forward. my style is kind of janky with it.

No he brings his tips down which looks sick off that jump but its not a nollie. I hate seeing people ride off the lip barely leaning forward and then drop their tips like they did a nollie. It looks ten times sicker if you actually get pop from your skis and do a real nollie. Nollies are easy if you commit. I would go with both skis and just pop off them.

its weird there are two ways to nollie. u can scissor step and flex your front foot and then pop the back or can just flat pop. it is kind of like either doing an ollie or doing a leg lift onto a rail. i guess its just a difference in style choice.

lean back a smidgeon, while approaching the lip

as your coming up on the sweet spot of the lip for nollies, your going to shift you weight forward

the thing about nollie-ing off jumps is that your pop is actually earlier off the jump than it would be if you were just hitting it with-out nollie-ing

so your going to need to fudge around with where you pop for each jump with nollies, but when you can actually find the nollie pop, and commit to it, you can actually get more pop then you normally would, shit's juice!

good luck!

/Nollies are super fun to do, realllly easy too. (I taught my sister them ahha) How i learned how to do them where just nollieing(? dont know how to spell that) off rollers on random runs throught the day. Just when you come to the apex of a roller (or whatever you wanna nollie off) shift your wieght forward to your tips, what i do after this i shift my weight back and pop at the same time, use the spring off your tips and land etc.

afterbang all the time.

hope this helps.
