3 Reasons why YOU CAN'T OLLIE!!!!

Can't figure out the ollie? Here are 3 super common mistakes people make that stop them from being able to ollie.

Nobody ever talks about how to jump. It's just assumed that everyone can. Cheers Ben!

I must of watched a hundred how to ollie video's, gaining a little bit of insight from each one. I think this was the final piece of the puzzle. Went to the park after watching this, got all up on dem balls and started getting clean, stuck to my feet ollies. This probably would have been easier at 12 instead of 44. And as there's no memory in theses muscles, every little helps. Cheers Ben.

took me 5 years to actually get an ollie off the ground. looking back i think the main reason i could never do it was because of everyone describing it as pop, then slide, then jump when in reality it's one motion. you slam on the tail as you jump and slide your front foot forward, you don't hit the tail then slide your foot then jump. i wish people would stop giving out that advice! no matter how you do fast you do each step, you'll never ollie if you're not doing everything at once. this caused middle school me endless frustration lol

ollie on to things is just such a great feeling even if youve been doing it for a long time youll never loose this amzing feeling

[ryanstark]

I can already ollie, but tried it today with your #3 tip of the back posture: I can get so much higher off the ground now! Thank you so much Ben, without a mirror and just skating by myself I couldn't see what I was doing wrong to only get a couple inches off the ground! Have a great day.

now i'm thinking about how stupid i looked with my ass sticking out while i practiced ollies last time lmaoooo learning by yourself is a struggle but at least there are videos like this to help us solo skaters out!

[tuplahaukat]

One important thing also is to remember that when you change boards, trucks or wheels the timing will change. Not a major thing but can make some bad skate days trying to adapt the new timing. It's all part of the process tho, just blame it on the board like rest of us!

[merrynnails]

after the third tip i literally ran outside, i realised that that was exactly what i had been doing and bam after months i did my first ollie! (i mean it still sucks and needs a lot of work but who cares)

[larkharbeson]

So no one is talking about how he had the whole park to himself on a clear day?

[purrpocalypse]

Oh man, and here I thought it was because I'm too fat to jump.

[tomib]

I'm telling you guys I've been skating for 4 months trying to get good ollie's and I just now realized don't try to pop the board so hard and don't bend down too much trust me going to hard is what made my ollie's suck just do it light and jump high

Half the time I was looking at his shadow

[lZlSHINTANi]

The hinged back was definitely my problem. After straightening my back my ollies became much better.

Thanks so much for this video!

[jeffreylohr]

The hinge point was such a salient detail. I’ve been ollieing for about a month. After i saw this I went out, focused on my back position and ollied better. Thanks for the video

[AnryGuiltar]

3:00 hilarious and I've totally done this

[yasmina]

Your videos make it so much more simple to understand, you get straight into the subject and show us litterally what we needed to see to understand, tysm!

[EnzGtz]

omg I've been struggling for weeks I FINALLY GOT IT!!! turnout it was my Pasteur thankyou so much🤞💯🤧

[committedsouls]

I love how straightforward you are and you explain it very well

[levistepanian]

I appreciate you saying it takes a long time to figure it out, I like the honesty

[fenderman]

I need to be able to ollie a hip or euro gap like that.
