[leonsmith]

The title is not convincing enough. Try 'literally the best ollie tutorial ever idk why no one else knows this apparently im the only person who knows how to teach an ollie watch this video' trust me. Thanks also literally the best ollie tutorial ever

[jaimeperez]

Finally a video that doesn’t say the same steps like every other video😂

[vdm]

Update: I got it!! Huge huge huge tip from me is don’t keep your foot on the tail after you pop make sure the pop is quick and with correct timing you can easily get it evened out! I hope this can help!

[nadiaochoa]

Am I the only one that saw the “do your olies look like this” and thought it was actually good and then saw the actually good one and felt ATTACKED 😭😂

[eirinidima]

I’ve seen so many videos and this one was the only one that helped me. Showing us what we re doing wrong helps so much THANK YOU

[SteezyLovesJesus]

I’m skating now for 20 days straight because last year I didn’t make any progress... it’s November and all I want for Christmas is a clean Ollie🥺

[soleild]

i’ll be back when i can ollie

GUYS GUESS WHAT

[WillDaBeast]

Beginners don’t have the muscles to pop hard enough to get off the ground. Advice for them: always pop as hard as you can when you are practicing. This is the only way to get them off the ground and later get into obstacles. Sliding your foot up more helps but not as much as popping hard.

“Are your ollies looking horrendous?”
*Shows bad Ollie
Me: *having an even worse Ollie ;-;

It helped me to slo-mo film myself attempting several ollies to see what I was doing wrong. I always assumed I wasn't lifting my back foot enough after the pop and it was stopping the board from leveling out, but from the videos I could see my front foot was the problem and I was only sliding it a few inches--this video is exactly what I needed.

I have a major tip for anyone still struggling.
I used to not be able to get my back wheel off the ground at all and it was mainly all because I didn't pop hard enough (due to me being scared to pop hard for some reason and that could of gone alot easier if I was already comfortable on my board) and I also did the foot drag motion somewhat but I only dragged it up a little or bearly at all. I also had the timing all wrong because I kind of took it like steps (pop, drag, land) but really its just supposed to be all at one motion. I finally got my ollies off the ground after getting educated about them and really understanding the proper way to do them. It wasn't just that but it took me a lot of practice and I mean alot like 3 hours a day straight. PRACTICE IS VERY IMPORTANT TRUST ME IT PAYS OFF AND I LEARNED THAT. but annyways here is a list of things you should know for your ollies:
1. Bend your knees and use them as a spring when you jump
2. Actually jump while doing the motion
4. Think of the pop as a flick of your foot
5. Think of dragging first, because the pop is really quick and it will happen if you know how to do this correctly. (This works for me when I think about it because it helps me always get the timing right but it doesn't work for everybody)
6. When all 4 wheels are in the air push down the foot that you dragged down to the ground, while lifting the other foot that you popped.
7. Alot of vids or ppl dont mention this but the drag foot placement before you ollie is super important. If you are a bit taller put the foot you drag with closer to the foot you pop with. If you are shorter like me put the foot you drag with further away from the foot you pop with. (BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOUR FOOT YOU USE TO DRAG IS STILL CLOSE TO THE MIDDLE)
8. Land each foot on the bolts
9. If this still doesn't work go back to the simple motions of pop, drag, and land and keep on doing them over and over.

The best advice I can give to you is to practice you will get it eventually and be consistent like do it everyday even if you just try 10 a day you will see some improvement in a week.

If you have any questions feel free to reply!! Have a good day/night
YALL CAN DO THIS I BELEIVE IN YOU🤗

While rolling. While rolling. While rolling.
I can’t stress this enough. Even if ur rolling super slowly practice while moving it will help so much.

Great tutorial btw I wish I had it when I needed to learn how to Ollie lol

[Ahzafera]

When you show "bad" Ollies and I'm hear like, shoot... Wish I could get that high off the ground.

[ezeqiels.]

I watched this once and landed an Ollie immediately after. I'm so grateful towards this man

[tytheguy]

this video made me so happy man, i really appreciate videos like this that aren’t too critical. you reassure us and make sure what we are doing isn’t extreme, much love

[twindrkes]

For some reason when I record my Ollies I feel like I did a really good Ollie but when I check the recording it’s absolutely horrendous

I can Ollie over a skateboard now and my Ollie’s are boned 👍🏽

2 years later I skate a bunch of transition and street, I ollied a 7 a while ago and I got melon tuck knee over someone standing up right 🤧 skating fun asl now

[Alice-frij]

I deadass whispered: SO THATS WHY I CANT OLLIE. In frustration

[marcov]

I've been watching ollie tutorials for the past few months and I never got my board off the ground. I watched this video and the next day I ollied.

[angelagarfield]

Omg yes someone who doesn’t repeat the same stuff. Thank you so much this helped me so much!!
