kick the tail and slide your front foot up the board.

When i first learned i had my back wheels in like a crack or something so it wouldnt slide around at first and it seemed to help me progressive to a regular ollie.

the way i do an ollie is like the way blurredmem does one...
back foot kicks the tail down, then you slide your front foot from the middle of the board towards the nose of it on the side of your shoe while lifting your knees to your chest,
just keep practicing and once you get it it should be real easy.

It may help to get more practice just riding and manuvering a skateboard and just get comfortable on it. I had a friend who couldnt understand why he couldnt ollie but he could barely ride.

When I first started skateboarding I didn't know anything about it, so I thought I'd teach myself how to "jump" on my board. I figured if I pushed down one end to get it up, then pushed down on the other end to level it out, it just might work. For a long time I didn't even realize my foot was sliding. Just think of it as getting your board off the ground by pushing your tail down, then sliding your foot to then even it out.

Well when i started learning how to ollie i learned how to do it not moving. I also learned to do all my other tricks not moving. Eventually when you start to learn hoew to do like ollies moving ou cxan do other mastered tricks well moving and then step it up to gaps ledges and stairs.
