Nollies

It's amazing to me how hard nollies are, after all its the same basic ollie technique simply on the other foot. The fact that one is moving forward doesn't help. At any rate, I've been trying to pick up this trick (which I could never do before) and have been able to at least get the board a few inches off the ground with my front foot. So far these have been stationary nollies, but at least they are happening.

I'm practicing them 10 at a time at intervals in my session to sort of train my legs to do them on command.

The real problem I've been having is not pushing the board forward and away from me with my front foot--I need to focus on pushing downward, straight downward, with the front leg.
