I learnt on grass on a stationary board
But it took me literally thousands of attempts to get it. Most 6 year olds don’t have the fast twitch muscle to pop and jump.
This is the best instruction I have seen

@pdlouche @Alf0nse have to say I can’t take any credit for jnr’s skating they’ve done the hard work.
Had a massive wobble this afternoon as I tried to talk them through how to ollie. They’ve seen big kids and grown men doing it and they want to as well. But currently don’t have the patience to do the small steps that a video will show you to get to the bit where you’re leaping with the board and then landing back on it.
Had a proper 30mins of sulking and sitting around after I told them no more practising to ollie.
Pulled themselves out of it, and then skated round with a new skatepark friend a couple of years older who rides a scooter. They were hooning round the bowls with massive grins. So it ended up all right.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get a 6yr old to do the steps that’ll help them pull an ollie let me know.
This is the video I showed them
