You need to be rolling with moderate speed. (The faster you're travelling when you ollie, the farther you will go.) As you're rolling, position the ball of your back foot on the tail, and place your front foot in the middle of the board. Bend your knees at the same time you must smack the tail on the ground, jump, and slide your front foot up the deck. Smacking your tail allows the front of the board to raise up off the ground, jumping allows your body to break the confines of gravity, and sliding your front foot up the board allows the deck to level out, thus raising the back of the board from the ground. Stay over the board and at the peak of your ollie you should be centered on the board, your knees bent again ready for landing. When you land, keep your knees bent to absorb the impact with the ground. Upon landing, your back foot should be on the tail, though slightly closer to the back truck bolts so as not to break the tail, and your front foot should be directly over the front bolts.
