# What to learn after the ollie > Landed your ollie? Learn the pop shove-it, frontside 180 and kickflip next, then 10 more tricks that start from the ollie, easiest first. Canonical: https://getskateai.com/tricks-to-learn-after-ollie Last updated: 2026-10-08 ## The short answer Once your ollie pops and lands every time, learn the pop shove-it, the frontside 180 and the kickflip next. All three start from ollie feet: the shove-it adds a scoop of the tail, the 180 adds a shoulder turn, and the kickflip adds a flick of the front foot. After those, fakie ollies, nollies and 50-50 grinds use the same pop in a new direction or on a ledge. ## Your next three tricks ### 1. Pop Shove-It The board spins 180 flat under you without flipping. It doesn't need full ollie height: you scoop the tail back behind you and lift your front foot to let it spin. **Setup:** Back foot in the middle of the tail, toes hanging slightly off the toe side. Front foot near the front bolts at an angle. Pop and scoop the tail back behind you. ### 2. Frontside 180 An ollie where you and the board turn 180 toward your heel side. Wind your shoulders up before the pop and let your chest lead. **Setup:** Ball of the back foot in the heel-side pocket of the tail. Front foot just behind the front bolts like an ollie, nearly straight across. Wind your shoulders frontside before the pop, then pop and push the tail forward, round in front of you. ### 3. Kickflip An ollie where the front foot flicks the board into a full flip. Same back foot as the ollie; the front foot moves to about 45° with the heel hanging off. **Setup:** Back foot in the middle of the tail like an ollie. Front foot about 3 cm behind the front bolts at 45°, ball of the foot on the middle line, heel hanging off the heel side. Slide up and flick with the side of your shoe off the heel-side corner of the nose, so the board pops up and flips at the same time. ### 4. Ollie Over Something A rolling ollie over a shoe, a stick or a line on the ground. The whole board clears it and you land on all four wheels still rolling. **Setup:** Same feet as an ollie, with the front foot a few centimeters further back. Roll in at an easy speed, pop when your front wheels are about 30 cm short of the object, and level the board out above it. Keep your knees up until the back wheels are past it too, then land rolling. ## 10 more tricks that start from the ollie Easiest first.

It doesn't need full ollie height, and you can learn the scoop and the catch separately while your pop gets stronger. ### How do I know my ollie is ready for the next trick? Stay on flat ground until the pop and the front-foot slide feel automatic, standing still and then rolling. Every trick on this page starts from that same pop. ### Should I learn kickflips or heelflips first? Both are level 2 of 5 in our guides and both start from ollie feet. The kickflip flicks off the heel-side corner of the nose; the heelflip kicks forward off the toe-side corner with your heel. Pick one and stick with it until it lands. ### What is the first grind to learn after the ollie? The 50-50: approach the ledge almost parallel, ollie high enough to clear it, and land with both feet over the trucks.
