Trick

Nollie

A takeoff using loading and release of the board’s physical nose.

Aliases

ノーリーja · original Japanese name

GLOSSARY · Freestyle & trick grammar

The nose provides the board-end contribution to departure. The term identifies a mechanism that can be used alone or within another trick.

Context and distinction

Nollie takeoff describes the role of this mechanism in a sequence; the separate atlas card is retained.

HOW TO DO IT

Nollie: Flatground and Gentle Moving Snow

A nose-loaded pop, with board tension released from the front end.

Preparation and setting

Ollie familiarity and controlled nose support; begin on flat snow.

How to do it

  1. Start balanced and flexed.
  2. Move support toward the nose into a small nose-press position.
  3. Release the loaded board upward, bringing both feet into the air.
  4. Return the board beneath balanced body support.
  5. Land through both feet and flex to absorb.

Learn it

Stationary loading → slow moving nollie → timing over a snow mark. The source starts nose loading earlier than ollie loading in its timing exercise.

Errors and corrections

Tail-heavy touchdown: reduce amplitude and rehearse an even landing. Late loading: distinguish when the nose reaches the marker from when the tail would reach it.

Cues

Load the nose; return to two-foot support.

Successful attempt

Nose-generated release followed by a controlled level landing.

Boundary

This does not supply a full nollie park-jump, rail-entry or frontflip lesson.

HOW TO DO IT

Nollie

Pop from the board's nose instead of its tail. Evidence: S2. Import/review note: Definition only here. A full park-jump nollie lesson remains pending; do not mirror an ollie mechanically into a universal jump instruction.

Preparation and setting

This is an attributed description, partial lesson or analysis page. Related component practice does not validate an advanced target.

Known phases / unresolved execution

  1. Identify the exact source convention, feature and approach stance.
  2. Separate board support, hand support, axis and landing outcome.
  3. Use the preserved attributed material below for known facts.
  4. Keep unknown timing, feature geometry and recovery instructions visibly incomplete.
  5. Obtain a reviewed source-specific pathway before treating this as a reproduction lesson.

Learning and practice

Use the source-specific phases where supplied. For a missing execution pathway, preparation and recognition are related learning only; a complete named tutorial is still required.

Errors, limits and corrections

Do not infer support hand, spin amount or safe feature from the name. Historical definitions and provider titles are not complete coaching instructions.

Observable checks

Known facts, source convention and unresolved execution are separately recorded.
