Nollies

Anyone throwing down nollie tricks or fackie (switch nollie) tricks. Last weekend i did a fackie bigspin like byerly does in metrenome. Ill post pics soon. Post some pics of stuff like that u have done.

There is no such thing as a switch nollie. It would be a fakie ollie. Nice work on the bigspin though man.

Bigspin would be different than the technique for an ollie. On a bigspin you are pivoting off the back of the board. I think if you tried a true nollie you'd end up falling over the front and the board would be under the water.

what is a nollie? a front footed ollie?

Sorry I meant the bigspin is a different technique than the nollie not an ollie.

A nollie is when you are going forward and you ollie off the nose of the board with your front foot.

Here is a link to a fackie bigspin i pulled the other day.

As you can see in Nick's video (Very impressive btw) he is rotating the board before he pops, so I wouldn't consider it a nolie trick.

if u wouldnt call it a nollie trick what would u call it cause im not ollieng off the tail for pop.

My point is you could probably do that on a skateboard without touching the tail so is that still considered a nollie?

I guess it could go either way but it seems to me if you do a true nollie the nose of the board would be underwater.

you don't nollie into a bigspin on a skateboard either, its just a shove it.

Alright let me just break down the trick.

-You were riding normally
-You start to switch your foot position so your front foot is sliding counter-clockwise.
- you bust an ollie and shuvit

It seems like you did a fakie ollie, not nollie
A true nollie, as Blabel said, would put your nose under water
