How To Get Pop On A Skateboard

Pop is a simple concept but can still be pretty elusive when it comes to newer skaters, or even long time skaters who are trying to learn how to pop higher in general. In this video I go over some of the core concepts behind properly popping your board and lightly touch on some of the physics involved. Hopefully this will help you out if you're working on getting that pop higher!

As always, thank you for watching and I will see you next time! :)

That sponsor transition might be the smoothest I've ever seen in my life. Almost as smooth as that dad joke at the beginning.

[dude]

2:26 the fact that he did a trickshot just for a sponsor is awesome as hell

I've been trying to learn how to ollie and my whole problem was the pop so this video was exactly the thing I needed, thanks a lot!

[lildowny]

I’ve been able to Ollie well for about 2 years but haven’t been able to explain it to a friend. I just say u need to pop higher and this is the most in detail I have ever seen an ollie tutorial. Thanks vlskate I love u

Love how he introduced the sponsor in the video.Creative and brilliant

Showing my kids this now been a year and they can grind rails drop in but ollies have been the kryptonite but this vid was so easily explained thank you sir 👽🤘🏾

This is one of the greatest ollie tutorials i have seen so far (and I've seen a lot in the last year). I needed 3 months to understand that I had to jump with the back foot pretty high and that my foot is not supposed to touch so ground. And timing is so hard to learn. I am trying kickflips now. The timing you need there is just crazy for beginners :D

[donovanhays]

This is the most important piece that's missing from every ollie tutorial. Every new skater I watch suffers from letting their back foot fully hit the ground before pulling it up and they kill all their pop. I'm trying to help my daughter with her ollies now and that brought me to this video. Sending it to her now lol

[windexboy]

Exactly what I needed! I literally can ollie now!

[matanaltjeacovson]

I was just working on my kickflip height today, great timing! Also i've accidentally learned double flips while trying to pop my kickflips higher. Was pretty sick!
Btw can you make a video on gap/rail skating? Thanks anyway and keep those great vids up!

[bayerhead]

I love your content. My son's a second generation skater and he's learning so much with your videos. I wish I had slow motion videos to practice off of back in the day.

0:59 I always tell my friends this when I try to teach them how to ollie and how it annoys me how no you-tuber says this part. Thank you so much!

The secret to getting good pop that people sometimes miss is that the harder you pop the tail, the faster and higher up vertically you need to pull the front foot. It's a scissoring motion and the speed of pressing one foot down and pulling the other up creates quick verticality. Also, this is hard to achieve if your front foot is too far forward as more of your weight needs to be closer to the tail.

When your board comes up vertical, the second issue is it then takes a much more exaggerated forward motion and control with the front foot to level it out and at the exact same time as you level out, you need to lift your back foot up at least as high as your nose/front foot.

When you get comfortable, you can turn your back foot to the side, like a fly kick, and get the tail higher than your nose!

This coming from a former high ollier, though my ankles probably couldn't handle it these days!

Thanks for this, and for helping other people.

Because of you, I am now able to do an ollie
I watch so many tutorials, but only this one worked. Thank you.

[magortom]

Sponsorship transition was too amazing bro, I literally started cheering at the finesse

^ Most important part. If your board doesn't fly up like that when you pop it, you wouldn't be able to do a good ollie

[fabianng]

Yo this video will boom. I’ll been trying to explain to my friend how the pop works but they can’t get it. there was no video out there to show or guide them but this video made is going to make it really clear to them to understand. The title is so direct how to pop, smart 😎😎😎

[padraigomaille]

Yoo thanks I was literally just looking for this lol
Thank you great vid

[Juliano_DJOL]

I was just telling my kids how a wallet will save your butt when falling skating, does that thing not do the opposite....
