Trick guide:

 
 
Step 1: Foot position - Keep your Backfoot at the Tail and Your Frontfoot in Middle of the board
Step 2: Bend your legs and squat so you can spring yourself up.
Step 3: Kick your back foot down so you can pop as you jump up. Your front foot should rub upward on your grip tape. This will cause your tail to hit the ground, and pop the board up into the air.
Step 4: Tuck your knees to your chest, and pick up your back foot to level the board at a good height.
Step 5: Once you are evened out in the air, extend your legs to the ground as you drop. Extending your legs helps you absorb the shock.
Step 6: Come down comfortably with your knees bent and both feet on the board. You should land with all 4 wheels at the same time, with both feet over the bolts.
Step 7: Roll away smoothly with a smile on your face.
Step 8: Congratulate yourself for popping an ollie. Practice ollie over curbs, down stairs, over your dog (not) or wherever.
Then tell your friends you learned it from Boardriding.com!
