A great way to start snowboarding is to perform an Ollie. The Ollie is a simple trick that can easily be done over obstacles and other features to get you up or below the mountain. You can also use the Ollie as a base for more advanced tricks.
You will need to lean forward into your nose to perform an Ollie. Then, use your tail to propel yourself. This will give you more momentum and height. Once you have enough momentum you can begin pulling your knees into your chest. You can also throw your arms high in the air to add more force to the jump.
Before you start your Ollie, it's important to find a suitable spot on the slope for practice. Many resorts offer a beginner-friendly park that allows you to practice your trick and hit a few jumps. You can also practice your technique on the flats, as well. Try to find a drop or slight slope that allows you to land in a more stable place. It is important to avoid large, crowded parks.
It is also important to use your stance correctly. This means you will need to examine your form from top-to-bottom. This will ensure you are using your feet and knees correctly and help prevent injury. To propel yourself from the ground, use your backfoot. This will help to give you uplift and keep you from stumbling on your way to the jump. Your back foot should be aligned behind your front to ensure that the board guides you through the jump.
You'll need to be able to bend your knees when you do an Ollie on the floor. Also, you should land with your knees bent. This will help you to get the maximum height out of your jump. You can lose balance and fall if you have stiff knees.
Once you have mastered your technique, it's time to try jumping off of a wall or other obstacle. You can also practice by throwing a Frisbee or a baseball at your technique. Practice landing on both feet. You'll become more comfortable and confident by practicing landing on both feet.
It's a good idea to practice your technique on a slope that's a little more challenging than the one you are currently on. This will help you to get more confident and will also allow you to practice your technique more quickly. To get the best power and height from your jumps, you will need to use your core as well as your arms.
If you're learning Ollie on a flat, you will need to ensure that your back foot propels you off the ground. Your tail should be the last thing to touch the ground. To create an illusion of height, raise your knees above your chest when you jump.
