How to Ollie Down Stairs on Skateboard

  1. Get yourself a skateboard, obviously.
  2. Don't try anything you don't feel comfortable doing.
  3. Learning to ride a skateboard can be a long and hard process, but don't let this put you off, just keep at it.
  4. Eventually you will feel comfortable riding and pushing around on your skateboard.
  5. At this point, you should think about investing in a better skateboard, preferably one from your local skate shop.
  6. Go for the Ollie! This is the fundamental skateboard trick and almost all other tricks incorporate the ollie into them at some point, so at this point you should think about learning to ollie.
  7. Start small, try ollieing off a small curb at first, to do this you want to roll up to the curb at a moderate speed, mainly one you feel comfortable ollieing at.
  8. Then as you see the front of your skateboard near the edge of the curb, pop your ollie. You should then be in the air. Land and roll away.
  9. After you feel comfortable doing this, try to find a bigger curb to ollie off.
  10. Try a small 2-step stair, then 3, then 4, and so on.
