You make things so clear. You were born to teach. Please never forget that you help hundreds of thousands of people every day!

I was NOT expecting you to just casually ollie over those things. Thanks a lot dude!

[loveandnapalm]

Dude your tutorial videos are really good. You'communicate concepts concisely, effectively, and eloquently, and keep your (and by proxy the viewer's) focus on the important information. I feel like if I had someone like you or videos like this back in the day I'd be so much better than I am now.


It sure beats the hell out of staring at a sequence in a mag and trying to guess what's going on and then just using trial and error for literally years on end to learn one trick.

Dude, your name should be Michael Jackson. “The king of pop”!!!

update: put ur feet closer, when u pop and slide up the friction is gonna bring the board up automatically then you'll know what you have to do.As ur popping down start sliding up ur front foot, but u wanna make sure ur rubbing ur shoe against the griptape and you'll do an ollie like nothing. Then i'd add the spring technique and the board is gonna float up with u

For a dude who watches A LOT and I mean A LOT of trick tips, this is by far some of the most well thought out and executed videos. Most videos talk about feet position and maybe general motion stuff, but skateboarding isn’t just that, it’s your entire body working as one. Well done. I’ll try and tell as many of friends about your channel as I can.

This is a great help to improve my Ollie and you should definitely make a video about Ollie over things

[jerseyheadxl]

im shocked you dont have that many subscribers! you have great tips, bro you got up HIGH at 3:54 without even going fast. Pure good craft at what you do

[memorypalace]

Definitely one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen on the topic. Most people only focus on the drag and pop but not how your whole body actually works to make it happen with the right timing.
Thanks!

this is definitely one of the better how to improve your ollie videos. 1. the think of yourself as a spring theory. that is definitely amazing 2. having an actual obstable to ollie onto or over is so much better than having nothing. it will force you to improve. 'nuff said.

[bigbizgrizzz]

finally I've been dying to know how you get your pop so high. Thank you for this

[scott]

Tomorrow I will use this video religiously! If it improves I will post it on my IG


thank you so much Norman!!! greetings from the UK

1:24 "You need all the leverage you have over the board" lightbulb moment for me i.e. I get so caught up with timing the foot slide and pop to where I can tense up and forget to stay loose.

[taterstoolboxskates]

Im one of those people who tends to hinge at the back, working really hard to break this habit, skated a couple of hours this afternoon at the school got some pretty decent pop, working on my crouch and spring, thanks Norman🙏🏻🤙🏼😎

One of the best instructional Ollie height videos I've seen..all that info is exactly what I've been thinking in my head ..on point man. I'll help alot of ppl

[LynxSocial]

Solid video that makes total sense. Thanks for posting! 🙏

[gavin]

Holy shit man, the pop before fully extending completely changed the game for me thank you. I’ve got a pretty decent vertical but couldn’t for the life of me get my back truck to level out at my penultimate in the air. My Ollie’s although high felt super soggy now it’s super snappy, I’ve watched just about every video on Ollies this one by far the best

[Horeeification]

brooo my buddy at the lodi skate park told me to look you up and im glad i did! i swear to god i was ollieing higher straight after i watched this, the spring analogy and when to pop based on your head coming up like made it all click for me, and you explained everything so well. please keep posting more tutorial style videos like this!!! <3

[bradycraig]

Sick video Norman! Would definitely like to see another on ollies over stuff

[hc]

Great video on such an important gateway trick. I've used your tips and I'm able to ollie higher now. Thanks for keeping it to the point. Amazing.
