HOW TO

First, you're going to want to know how to nollie, and your search for info on that subject should lead you to studying the skateboarding of Paulo Diaz, Matt Field, and my good friend, Danny Montoya.

1. Now that you have a grasp on the nollie and the proper time to pop it when doing it off something, know that the nollie heel almost requires a scissor approach during the pop and flick--as your front foot goes down with pressure more toward the heel side of your board, your back foot should be flicking almost simultaneously and toward the toe edge.
2. Once the board is in its rotation, make sure your feet are out of its way …
3. … but not for too long, as you'll need to stop with your front foot--catch that wood!
4. With both feet on the board and over the bolts, prepare for the landing by bending those knees.
5. Keep it loose and let your knees be your friend as you land. Roll away, and think about where you'll be taking this one to next.

To take your skateboarding skills to the next level be sure to check out the latest instructional video from TransWorld SKATEboarding, Show Me The Way, where Chad solves the problem of popping out of nosegrinds, and don't forget his full part in the latest 411, Volume 13, Number 3!
