to be honest i bought skateboarding made simple and spent months watching braille, but as soon as i discovered VLskate, i believe my skateboarding skills improved so much, it's like there was something missing in my skills and found in this channel!! so much appreciated!! I love your channel
I've had a similar feeling but I'm UA-cam sniping and only 3 weeks in on a temporary standstill due to lack of shoe material lol! But between the two channels I've got back after 9 years Ollie. Over a 2x4 on the 4 side. Nollie (in revers) Premo. And dismount flip 15ish feet of manual Roll out on a box and manual the box. Stuck on heel/kick. Can seem to get back foot back yet
I'm about to start trying to ollie I think. Been skating a month but only about 3 times a week because I work full time. Some days I feel super comfortable on my board. Other days I don't. We'll see how it faires.
keep at it! I wasn't allowed to have a skateboard until I moved out and went to college so I got one at 19. I'm still 19 now and I've almost got kickflips. Keep going and you'll be real good by the time you graduate highschool @@Morgami_Art
@@herminator1613 thats cool! im on my 2nd month of trying to learn how to ollie and i can land them consistently stationary on a concrete and not rocket. But still trying to learn them while rolling, and when im rolling my ollies becoming wack and rocket you got any tips on how to learn ollie moving?
@@youalreadyknow5849 the thing that worked for me is thinking that your body should only be moving down and up, just because youre moving doesnt mean that any of your jump power should be going forwards or backwards. Its just a regular jump and isnt really any different from an ollie standing still.
I just learned this today! I have a few tips: first get used to ollie while riding slow, and continue and ride faster and faster. 2. Skate as much as possible. I skate everyday for like 4 hours, so i progress very fast now. Another tip is do «repetitions» its like 1 repetition = 10 ollies. And then you do like 10 repetitions every sesh!
So I've been trying to ollie for about two weeks now and even tho I'm not really skating right now (I'm in my pajamas having breakfast) this helped me realize a lot of things I was doing wrong Thank you for this great video
I don’t understand do I stand normally and then after I popped lean I started jumping towards nose and it helped ALOT but should I lean forward the whole entire time because normally I Satan’s normal and then jump towards nose so should I leam
Great video. Well explained, as always. I think this the only ‘Ollie trick tip’ that I’ve watched in 2 years that mentions jumping forward. This is a massive omission from Other’s videos.
@VLSkate your voice sounds so soothing. It is almost meditative. It reverberates into my balance center. I think I would recommend this to women during childbirth. "How to Ollie the baby out".
Ok, I'm 23 and this is my third attempt to start skateboarding (last 2 were in primary and high school). I'm so glad I found your channel, I feel like after 15 years I'm finally going to learn this fucking ollie thing. Thank you so much
Wow. I mean wow. You are so good at explaining and giving tips. They are so helpful and useful! I’ve been watching Braille, John Hill, Arryn Skelly and many more, but i feel like none of their videos helped me. So i researched and researched and at one point i found your channel. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and ever since i did, i gradually improved at skateboarding. You earned a subscriber. Thank you.
I am just feeling "scared" of falling or something when doing an ollie while moving but I guess that will fix over time. Edit (3 years later): I'm back, I never realised this comment got so many likes and comments. Thats why I never responded - sorry. I'm still skating and can do ollies while rolling now. All the tips in the comments are great. Another tip that helped me was to always go a bit faster and work your way up to higher speeds. First ollie while barely moving, then faster and faster. Btw. I love how everyone in the comments defended me against lamboman68, you are great guys. The skating community is the best. Keep pushing yourself and support others! Love you all and skate on :D
An easy way is really just riding around a lot that it feels like a second leg so when you try to ollie it will feel so comfortable that you know you wont fall... cuz if you're so comfortable on the board that you really dont think you'd fall
pterodactyl arms have helped me a lot! i’m still learning but my buddy told me to bring my arms close and spread them like pterodactyl wings when i jump. you can see him do it in the video and it helps when trying to keep the shoulder straight. it’s also helped me a ton with getting my knees up!
@@anzaeriabasically… you get your arms close together when you’re getting ready for the ollie, and once you jump, you spread open both of your arms, and it helps you stabilize and jump higher i think
This man defines youtube videos in the most apt way possible - Straight to the point and no nonsense. .... As far as teaching is concerned its so difficult for an experienced person to replicate the error of an amateur.... because of the muscle memory that becomes a reflex over the time yet he manages to not just help us with the right methods but co-relate the errors that a newbie might be going through...
Bro i know how to do ollies fr fr alright so first you have to have a comfortable stance (of course), be on your balls of both of your feet, on the back foot don't slam it down, just bend down jump up and when you first jump up kick down with the balls of you feet which will make you go up when you do an ollie... (note: don't slam it down... just kick it down lightly or moderate, it'll click on the ground on its own..) then lift up your back and front foot, your front foot will go sideways while your knees go up to under or to your chest and slide up your front foot, LAND!!! The reason people can't ollie is because they don't jump remember ALWAYS TRY TO JUMP!!! if you don't jump your board won't go up that's why beginners only can get it 1 inch off the ground ... i haven't gotten my ollies SUPER GOOD LIKE PROS but it's a start i can go 3 inches off the ground! When i didn't know this trick i use to see my back foot always stay on the tail then jump a second after that's why you can't ollie! So hope this helps guys... REMEMBER *Stance, Balance, Crouch, Jump, kick down, bring front foot up, slide foot on grip tape, bring back foot up also, LAND!!!*
You will get it trust me just try other tricks and you will learn how to handle your board better and eventually you will get it alot of people struggle with ollies
bro the first thing you said “jump twords your front foot” improved my rolling ollie so much and helped me balance better great video very nice and easy to understand keep doing what you do bro.
2 days ago I finally landed my first Ollies while rolling :) I was practicing behind a big grocery store where I was completely alone most of the time and the ground was good (I'm not feeling ready for more public spots yet so that was nice). Later at that spot I found out to check my technique in front of a glass door. I kinda used it as a mirror to see what my foot technique looked like. Felt a bit weird at the beginning but I think it really helped me (just wanted to share this here as it might be a tip for some people out there struggling like me)
Landed my first ollie while rolling after watching this. This is so helpful please continue making videos like this. More power to ur channel man .thanks!
I gotta disagree on the "learn it rolling from the start" advice even though a lot of skaters say this. Overcoming the fear is a major part of the process and a lot of new skaters will quit if they don't have a way of slowly overcoming the fear. I tried to learn the ollie rolling as a kid and took some bad spills. I ended up quitting completely after just two months of skating in my early teens from the shear pain, frustration, and unfathomable difficulty. I turned 30 last year and I bought a skateboard looking to recapture my youth and conquer a past failure act of cowardice. I used skater trainers, which I was able to ollie with after just one 30 min session. I wasn't super great at stationary ollies, I ditched them after just 2 sessions and moved onto stationary w/o trainers because the whole point was to gain some transferable muscle memory and over the mental obstacle. Took me a week to get comfortable with stationary ollies without trainers, and then another two weeks of practicing rolling. Something I felt I was insurmountable as a kid thrown into the fire without slower progression suddenly became a reality in about a month of incremental improvement. Some say rolling ollies are a different trick. Huh? Wut? Sure, the physics shift a bit, but the basics are still the same.
Ive gotten decent at ollies for a week, trying to get manuals down and when i try to roll and ollie the board shoots out or i jump and my board doesnt follow. So Ive rode boards for 13 years of every different style but at 25 i think its time to go back to basic tricks. And ollie-ing and while riding,will be my only goal
I agree. I think it’s important to learn stationary first. It gets you over that fear of falling while popping the board. Gets you used to landing on the board and maintaining a balance while the trucks shift from your weight.
Zin Thura lol no way , been skating for 5 months and my only trick while rolling is a no comply 180 , i got kickflip heelflip and ollie but without rolling ;(
@@aceace2613 but when you have been skating for years,it gets so doing tricks while moving becomes way easier, than stationary, trust me,just dont give up
Key tips for the Ollie: bend your back knee to lift up the tail, start off small, don’t try to make your first few Ollie’s 12 inches high, your front foot higher up the board will help level out better because you don’t have to slide up too much until you hit the nose of the board, don’t feel like your trying to do it, think like you already know how to do it, that helps with confidence
After years practicing, today I landed a decent ollie while standing on flat. As soon as I landed it, I immediately tried to ollie while moving and got it on my third try. Been doing them consistently since. I found it easier to understand balance and rhythm while moving, and I naturally jumped forward. Wish I could've seen a video like this years ago. (Btw, I'm 36 and teaching my son to ride.) Keep pushing!
cannot stay balanced when coming up on the pop. i can ollie on carpet and on a crack. any suggestions? i can ride pretty well but not sure how to shift my weight when crouched right before the pop. thanks n your videos are awesome!
DONT shift your weight back. Jump STRAIGHT UP with the weight equal in both legs, and as soon as you start coming up a little bit flick your ankle. This the most important part of the pop, and the pop is the most important part of an Ollie. Pop your ankle down the same way you pop your wrist down when playing basketball. Jump first, pop almost immediately after. If you try an Ollie and shift your weight backwards it’ll be impossible to land
I started skating 2 weeks ago....at 28.i feared it as a teen. Its finally time to overcome it. Today's all about the moving ollie. Thanks for your videos.
this guy was instructing awesome. The common problems, the most of riders learning Ollie experienced including myself. Besides, he gave all solutions or suggestions on how to solve these problems. NICE!
You’re back foot can come off the board a little, but it really shouldn’t. And if it does it should be above the board. Sounds like a balance problem or a technique problem.
Hey bro did u get it. If u didnt but u probaly did its probaly cuz ur not commiting to help that all u have to do is grass or just stop overthinking it and youll get it but im sure u got it already
Thanks so much!!! I landed my first Ollie in 3 days!!!! Just this video and Braille’s skateboardings video but this truly helped with trying to practice with rolling and getting comfy with the board the shoulders also helped a lot in still practicing them to get them higher but I can jump ledges bc of you love you continue doing this your helping hundreds of beginners everyday doing this simple trick!!!
Haven’t skated for half a year , and I’m here to unlearn everything & start from scratch. But boy it feels good to be back on my board. Mind feels at ease
Vlskate your videos are the best skateboarding tutorial videos on youtube. You really have a great way of breaking things down and explaining them in a way that is easy to understand.
Hey I haven't been skating long (maybe a month) but I'm having real trouble doing an Ollie should I just concentrate on riding and getting comfortable before even thinking of tricks?
Yes, have fun by rolling around and practice going over speedbumps and down curbs. You will get really comfortable, making ollies seem possible. Remember, don’t get stuck, stop an ‚impossible‘ trick and do the things you enjoy in skating, that’s what makes it fun. If you want, slowly try pushing and kick turning switch. Good luck!
I took a skii off an old sled and cut some 2x4s to the right size and bolted the skii to the bottom of my skateboard it doesnt handle quite the same as a skateboard but it is a ton of fun.
I'm the least consistent person in everything i do in my life, skating included. I spent over a year just learning to ride , ollie and flipping the board. Not landing anything other than stationary ollies and some really bad moving ones, cause each time i stepped on a board i had not skated in like months. I am now like 5 months without doing anything, and i kinda wanna go back but im also pretty weak about it as i know i will probably be shit at it again cause that much time has passed. So kids, if you wanna get good, just don't be like me and skate consistently. Thanks for the vid btw, i had been looking for one of this tutorials tho i ended figuring out my problem with moving ollies was just lack of practice and some riding and board control skills like not having any control over the nose ( lifting it) as i yet just ride regular it was difficult to figure out. Same happened with powerslides, im kinda out of commitment for those but got to do something that looked like the movement i should be doing. I just tried to put my feet on each nose and tail and raise each, like walking with the board (idk if this has a name) practising that really helped me. Anyways i should be back to skating, hope this long ass shit story helped somebody
i love this guy every other skate video i have watched never helps as much as this guy does, im a begineer with tricks so im starting with the ollie and i wont move on until i get my ollie while moving and then going down curbs thanks man you are really the best!
I know how to ollie but the problem is that sometimes I want to ollie and I end up doing a pop shove it or a kickflip without landing because I don’t how I do it, I just want to do an Ollie and I end up doing something I don’t want to. Any advice?
make sure your front foot is staying centered on the board when you slide it up! also have your back foot pop directly in the middle of the tail. Make sure you are centered with your board as you lift off the ground and land it.
After 2 years of have a skateboard I finally did an Ollie the other day. By the end of the year a kick flip is on my lost 😅. Very helpful video, keep it up!
Great video man, the only one I’ve seen that actually highlights the importance of keeping your shoulders squared to the board. That’s my biggest issue right now so thanks heaps
I love ur videos man this is like the only video that I’ve watched that’s actually helped me improve my ollie other than just pop, slide your foot up, and jump
Thank u so much for all the videos you upload! Great learning tool...I've been skating for almost a year now and thanks to your videos I've improved 100%...btw I'm 34yrs old...you are never too old to learn! Thanks!!!
You’re the first person that addressed my main problem. It’s so frustrating that i can ollie cleanly almost 2 ft in the air stationary but when rolling the board always rockets out. After looking at footage of myself I noticed my front leg doesn’t kick out forward and lead the landing.
Great and useful video, differently from others he points out the fact you need to put your balance foward while landing, which makes the ollie to be exectuded properly.
I recently hurt myself badly from trying to Ollie while rolling, I’ve only been doing skateboarding for 1 month but still fell by doing a “simple trick” but honestly when I was trying to do a Ollie while rolling before I got hurt I was so confused as why my board kept sliding away. Honestly this really helps thanks man
Dude thank you for posting this (years ago). I've always been a bike guy, but skating is something that has been on my mind for a long time. Years ago I learned the gross mechanics for an ollie, but ALWAYS could not keep myself from turning. Again today, like 15 years later, I am able to ollie but still have that rotation problem with my shoulders. I'm definitely going to try shifting my weight towards the front and try that moving ollie into the grass--I think those are great tips.
It always helped me to learn the motions standing still. I just learned the motions, for moving I always look over my shoulder and I learn into the direction I'm going when I pop.
Just figured out with your help 2 things I was doing wrong and having a hard time to fix... the shoulder thing which made me rotate 90 degrees, and the not jumping forward thing... looking forward to try em now tomorrow lol thanks man!
This is by far the best “How to Ollie while riding “ video. I have watched Brial and it just didn’t help me. While this one refers to all the problems I’m having trouble with. Great explanation, great video, great tips! Keep it up Man !

you dont rlly need to

Nexced Ollie while rolling is more ideal tho know one gets onto a ledge or obstacle standing still
U shouldve practice ollies standing still comfortably to the point where u can do it every time but its not that necessary tho
That 90 degree turn when I ollie led me to learn frontside Ollies before regular ollies
Kevin me too. I do 180's better than regular. Struggling to ollie foward, but I can do 180, half cab and get in a board slide easily... =S
Kevin Jackson Same, i have a video of me learning ollie and i did 3 90s in a row not even meaning to
Same bro, I can do 180’s now

@@aceace2613 but when you have been skating for years,it gets so doing tricks while moving becomes way easier, than stationary, trust me,just dont give up
Me too
Guys i landed my first high stationary ollie yesterday i’m so happy!
Key tips for the Ollie: bend your back knee to lift up the tail, start off small, don’t try to make your first few Ollie’s 12 inches high, your front foot higher up the board will help level out better because you don’t have to slide up too much until you hit the nose of the board, don’t feel like your trying to do it, think like you already know how to do it, that helps with confidence
these skate how to videos never die.
ive been trying to learn how to ollie, got mad quit for a year im tryna learn how to ollie again
you are awesome. i dunno how u don't know how u don't have 1 million subs
Landed my first Ollie’s today after a month of practice! Thank you VLSkate, and keep pushing everybody!
I can Ollie good while still but standing ,boi I nearly died
After years practicing, today I landed a decent ollie while standing on flat. As soon as I landed it, I immediately tried to ollie while moving and got it on my third try. Been doing them consistently since. I found it easier to understand balance and rhythm while moving, and I naturally jumped forward. Wish I could've seen a video like this years ago. (Btw, I'm 36 and teaching my son to ride.) Keep pushing!
cannot stay balanced when coming up on the pop. i can ollie on carpet and on a crack. any suggestions? i can ride pretty well but not sure how to shift my weight when crouched right before the pop. thanks n your videos are awesome!
pretty sure i'v heard ollies while moving fix the problem, because the momentum makes the weight go forward, but yeah i have the same problem
Maybe tighten your trucks just a bit so it wont thrn as much?
DONT shift your weight back. Jump STRAIGHT UP with the weight equal in both legs, and as soon as you start coming up a little bit flick your ankle. This the most important part of the pop, and the pop is the most important part of an Ollie. Pop your ankle down the same way you pop your wrist down when playing basketball. Jump first, pop almost immediately after. If you try an Ollie and shift your weight backwards it’ll be impossible to land
it's basically just lean forward, but i think it just kinda hard too if you used to jump straight up when doing stationary ollie
After watching your video I took me literally10. Min to get from kicking the rocketing the board in the air to Ollie while riding. Love you man
Idk why im watching this cuz i can aleeady do this but its so entertaining😂
Skate Journey Ikr 😂😂
You sick bastards 😤
I started skating 2 weeks ago....at 28.i feared it as a teen. Its finally time to overcome it. Today's all about the moving ollie. Thanks for your videos.
Do a half cab heelflip tutorial!!!
this guy was instructing awesome. The common problems, the most of riders learning Ollie experienced including myself. Besides, he gave all solutions or suggestions on how to solve these problems. NICE!
Finally another video
The "jump towards the nose" tip was what I needed. Thought about it and was doing ollies up and down curbs and even had a go at a 3 stair haha
I can Ollie but never land on it. My right back foot(I ride regular) doesn’t make it
You’re back foot can come off the board a little, but it really shouldn’t. And if it does it should be above the board. Sounds like a balance problem or a technique problem.
Hey bro did u get it. If u didnt but u probaly did its probaly cuz ur not commiting to help that all u have to do is grass or just stop overthinking it and youll get it but im sure u got it already
Thanks so much!!! I landed my first Ollie in 3 days!!!! Just this video and Braille’s skateboardings video but this truly helped with trying to practice with rolling and getting comfy with the board the shoulders also helped a lot in still practicing them to get them higher but I can jump ledges bc of you love you continue doing this your helping hundreds of beginners everyday doing this simple trick!!!
It looks to me like if you kind of think about trying to touch your nose with your leading hand, that might help keep your shoulders straight.
this is my favorite youtuber
when i ollie while moving i lose my balance during landing

Omg, THANKS! I JUST WATCHED THIS VIDEO LAST NIGHT IN BED, AND I TRIED IT TODAY, AND GOT IT REALLY FAST! Thank you so much!

Haven’t skated for half a year , and I’m here to unlearn everything & start from scratch. But boy it feels good to be back on my board. Mind feels at ease
sometimes i like my own comment just to get the ball rolling...
same
Shame.
At 69th like
Same here man
Phil Butler Sometimes I tell you nobody fuc*ing asked
Oh my god thank you so much I literally have learned so well today new subscriber!
Hey Vilas, can you do a video on powerslides and reverts? (fs and bs)
(Had to edit comment... Autocorrect sucks)
Vlskate your videos are the best skateboarding tutorial videos on youtube. You really have a great way of breaking things down and explaining them in a way that is easy to understand.
Thank you so much😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
These videos have helped an old man get back into skating immensely. And like a a ron says I ride everywhere
Hey I haven't been skating long (maybe a month) but I'm having real trouble doing an Ollie should I just concentrate on riding and getting comfortable before even thinking of tricks?
Will Todd yes. You shoud get really comfortable steering and pushing. After that your going for the ollie practise
Yes, have fun by rolling around and practice going over speedbumps and down curbs. You will get really comfortable, making ollies seem possible. Remember, don’t get stuck, stop an ‚impossible‘ trick and do the things you enjoy in skating, that’s what makes it fun. If you want, slowly try pushing and kick turning switch. Good luck!
Gram O thanks for the advice
I love that even after 5 years this guys has the best tutorials
Its winter how can we skateboard
Yeah and your so much worse when you start again
I took a skii off an old sled and cut some 2x4s to the right size and bolted the skii to the bottom of my skateboard it doesnt handle quite the same as a skateboard but it is a ton of fun.
The struggle. I hate winter
when you live in a tropical place 😎
underground car parks
The lean forward bit really helped me although it seems so obvious. Instantly landed my first rolling ollie
Same it helps a lot
I'm the least consistent person in everything i do in my life, skating included. I spent over a year just learning to ride , ollie and flipping the board. Not landing anything other than stationary ollies and some really bad moving ones, cause each time i stepped on a board i had not skated in like months. I am now like 5 months without doing anything, and i kinda wanna go back but im also pretty weak about it as i know i will probably be shit at it again cause that much time has passed. So kids, if you wanna get good, just don't be like me and skate consistently. Thanks for the vid btw, i had been looking for one of this tutorials tho i ended figuring out my problem with moving ollies was just lack of practice and some riding and board control skills like not having any control over the nose ( lifting it) as i yet just ride regular it was difficult to figure out. Same happened with powerslides, im kinda out of commitment for those but got to do something that looked like the movement i should be doing. I just tried to put my feet on each nose and tail and raise each, like walking with the board (idk if this has a name) practising that really helped me. Anyways i should be back to skating, hope this long ass shit story helped somebody
good luck, same problem here :P
Now i try to ollie at least 30 minutes every day. That helps to not get worse at least.
Doctor Maxi thanks, i'm going to get back to skating tomorrow , hope i catch up quick
Just went outside right after writing the comment. My Ollie, Manuals and Powerslides got a bit better today. Constant dripping wears the stone. :D
did the same, got back to it about 3 days. Landed my first ollie while rolling first try
once you got muscle memory it gets easy
i love this guy every other skate video i have watched never helps as much as this guy does, im a begineer with tricks so im starting with the ollie and i wont move on until i get my ollie while moving and then going down curbs thanks man you are really the best!
I know how to ollie but the problem is that sometimes I want to ollie and I end up doing a pop shove it or a kickflip without landing because I don’t how I do it, I just want to do an Ollie and I end up doing something I don’t want to. Any advice?
make sure your front foot is staying centered on the board when you slide it up! also have your back foot pop directly in the middle of the tail. Make sure you are centered with your board as you lift off the ground and land it.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH I FINALLY LANDED MY FIRST OLLIE
I like is guy his better than brallie skate
After 2 years of have a skateboard I finally did an Ollie the other day. By the end of the year a kick flip is on my lost 😅. Very helpful video, keep it up!
This video is fake where are the pebbles why is the ground so smooth every time (jk)
and there are 0 cars, i want my money back for this fake not real life video
I have a feeling you don't know how to skate for some reason. Not like it's the fortnite picture or anything...
@@ihs200 --literal airsofter
Mako ii 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best tutorial for ollie ever. And I've seen them all. Absolutely helps to define the most common problems. Thank you
Is it weird I learned how to heel flip before Ollie’s
That is weird
Blackjesus the fuck
is it weird I learned lazer flips before learning how to push
Rick Skates no it's not weird. I learned nollie lazer flip the mega ramp before learned how to stand.

Great video man, the only one I’ve seen that actually highlights the importance of keeping your shoulders squared to the board. That’s my biggest issue right now so thanks heaps
First
Easily the best skateboarding tutorials! Keep it up man!
I love ur videos man this is like the only video that I’ve watched that’s actually helped me improve my ollie other than just pop, slide your foot up, and jump
I am so thankful that this video is here because he just helped me land a cleaner Ollie while rolling. I just wanted to say, Thank you VL ur a legend
Thank u so much for all the videos you upload! Great learning tool...I've been skating for almost a year now and thanks to your videos I've improved 100%...btw I'm 34yrs old...you are never too old to learn! Thanks!!!
Jumping forward is honestly the best tip I’ve gotten
You’re the first person that addressed my main problem. It’s so frustrating that i can ollie cleanly almost 2 ft in the air stationary but when rolling the board always rockets out. After looking at footage of myself I noticed my front leg doesn’t kick out forward and lead the landing.
I was totally having that rocketed Ollie and open shoulders. I didn’t realize that it was gonna be so different from snowboarding
Great and useful video, differently from others he points out the fact you need to put your balance foward while landing, which makes the ollie to be exectuded properly.
Thank you for talking about this shoulder problem ! So good to feel understood 🙏🏼
I recently hurt myself badly from trying to Ollie while rolling, I’ve only been doing skateboarding for 1 month but still fell by doing a “simple trick” but honestly when I was trying to do a Ollie while rolling before I got hurt I was so confused as why my board kept sliding away. Honestly this really helps thanks man
See the gives one of the best advice for skating I never knew it was better to start learning plus whole rolling to help you in the long run
This is by far the best Ollie tutorial out there.
Dude thank you for posting this (years ago). I've always been a bike guy, but skating is something that has been on my mind for a long time. Years ago I learned the gross mechanics for an ollie, but ALWAYS could not keep myself from turning. Again today, like 15 years later, I am able to ollie but still have that rotation problem with my shoulders. I'm definitely going to try shifting my weight towards the front and try that moving ollie into the grass--I think those are great tips.
So nice to see you back! Hope you’re fully recovered now. Nice vid. And have a happy new year!
The shoulder one got me. I used to always turn 90 degrees. Thanks!
It always helped me to learn the motions standing still. I just learned the motions, for moving I always look over my shoulder and I learn into the direction I'm going when I pop.
Such a beautiful area wit the mountains and everything
Just figured out with your help 2 things I was doing wrong and having a hard time to fix... the shoulder thing which made me rotate 90 degrees, and the not jumping forward thing... looking forward to try em now tomorrow lol thanks man!
This is by far the best “How to Ollie while riding “ video. I have watched Brial and it just didn’t help me. While this one refers to all the problems I’m having trouble with. Great explanation, great video, great tips! Keep it up Man !
