The lowdown

Ollie up onto a kerb or low ledge and roll away on top of it, rather than rolling off one.

Fun fact

It is the first rung of the whole street ladder. Every ledge trick above it starts by getting on top of the ledge.

Tips

Come in at a slight angle and pop earlier than you think. Level the board out over the edge before you land.

Why it isn't working4 common mistakes

  1. Front foot lazy on the slide. Slide the front foot hard to the nose so the board levels and the tail clears the kerb.

  2. Landing on the nose first. Bring the back knee up after the pop so all four wheels land on top together.

  3. Looking at the kerb. Look at the spot on top where you want to land.

  4. Creeping up to the kerb. Keep a steady pace so a slightly short ollie still carries the back wheels over.

Why it's Easy: Easy because it is the flat ollie with a target. What changes is that a rocket ollie now catches the tail on the kerb, so the front foot has to level the board every time.
