You push with your back foot. An ollie is done by pretty much jumping, but it's like a lay up in Basketball. You jump with your back leg. then after you learned the ollie, you flick your foot and do different moves to do different tricks.
The skateboard works by being a strong, yet durable piece of wood that is easy to ride on if you get one from a professional skateshop. The trucks are responsible for holding the wheels in place while at the same time being turnable, so that's how you move your board. if you want to turn left, for example, what you do is lean to your left. The wheels, well, i think you know what those do

When you push off, your wheels will roll because your making them move. your not picking up the board and flicking the wheels. Hot wheels cars work the same way skateboards do.

Skateboards have trucks on them so they don't wobble all over the place, like grocery cart wheels. You can turn, but the trucks do most of the work. That's really all you need to know. Now go outside and start SKATING!

A skateboard is made up of 3 parts- the deck (the board itself), the trucks (the apparatus to which wheels are connected) and the wheels. If you are an amateur, get a shorter deck because it is easy to balance and handle. Inspect your skateboard before hitching a ride. Check for slippery top surface, wheels with crack and nicks, sharp edges, broken parts etc. If you see any of them, see that a professional rectifies the problem.

It is essential to know how to stop the skateboard well. Learn how to slow down, how to turn well and the basics of Skateboarding. An important tip to make note of while losing your balance, is to squat down on the skateboard so that you don't have a bad fall. Land on your butt, rather than your arms and knees, wear protective gear like a helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, wrist pads and shoes are very important. Use the skateboard on a smooth roadway or a skate park, and not on areas which are traffic prone. Do not use the skateboard in dark or crowded areas.
