    The slomo at 4:39 helped me so much. Really watched that a 1000 times to understand the movement and then filming myself and comparing it. What really was eye opening for me and helping me alot was to see his hand waiting for the board to come to his hand and not reaching for the deck. That your feet have to do the work of guiding the board around in the air. Examining my videos I realized that due to fear I snapped the board and instantly tried to grab it while my back foot was still not coming up. This back foot not coming up is I guess sth you do when trying fs ollies below coping because of being afraid to reach coping and hang up or you want to ensure to have fast step down on ground if your ollie is whack. So I started trying to go for a high air over the coping and to imitate the movement in your video of trying to move the board into my hands with my feet. And it works. So if anyone wants to learn from this video check the part in the beginning where you see his body position towards the coping before snapping the tail and to try keeping this start position for your fs ollies to go straight and not riding in a curve into the ollie. Next is the leaning backwards and the movement of the front knee towards my chest I tried to focus on. And then the next step to move the board into your hand and grab it and feel your snugged to the board. If you’re not comfortable with landing it right away just jump of and run the rest till you’re able to commit landing. But the „how to get into my grabs“ movement in this video and first getting this done helped me doing it! Thanks alot and sorry for writing so much but I was so frustrated not understanding how the fuck while eager to finally doin it that maybe it also helps someone feeling the same.

    Excellent advice! I just started about half way up and once I got comfortable went for it. Once I made a few above the coping I really was surprised how easy it is. I enjoy watching these videos because I am to old to skate. I actually broke collarbone last time.

    3:00 “You want your chest to pull back, and your legs to come up that way you could see the transition.” This was the secret for me.
    My first proper Ollie on transition I was skating a line where I usually did a front slash, but I was going too fast for the angle. Too fast and I didn’t want to fly out and bail (too fast, awkward approach, didn’t want to get hurt). So I leaned back, almost to try to anti pump, but that didn’t work, so I gave the tail a tiny tap and the back wheels floated 4 inches or so above the coping. It almost felt like rolling on a wall that wasn’t there. So yeah, chest inside the transition.🔥

    This explanation is also a good reason why I don't think the FS ollie / air thing is really the same as Rodney's invention of the ollie on flat at all. They are quite different, even though the fundamental board control stays the same. I know most people don't truly argue they are the same, but you often read how this was the origin of the ollie which seems kind of off to me. It's similar to people insisting Curt Lindgren invented the 'first kick flip', when what he did was what we now call 'old school kick flip' and it's not even clear if he really was the first doing those at all. Probably not. Anyway, loving the slow motions in this video, well done!

    I'm finally getting the feel for backside ollies over coping. They feel so good. Was getting them on that same extension side (I'm goofy). Did maybe one or two front side ollies over coping but haven't practiced em really. Hopefully I can dial em both in. Thanks for the video!

  • @isee7668
    @isee7668 3 роки тому

    I really appreciate the efforts to give useful coaching explanations for tricks. I'm learning already. After 35 years (for me) of "roll forwards...jump in the air...make the board do the trick...land" sort of trick teaching, I'm hungry for every helpful tip. I really wish I knew how to pump! It was one of the first puzzles I searched for when I got the internet in the 90's. (after porn & aliens, obviously.)

    • @DerusGrindz
      @DerusGrindz 2 роки тому

      Tip for pumping if you still don’t have it. Keep your front knee loose and jet it ride the pavement. At the end of any drop push down with your back foot and body weight while still keeping yourself centered on the board. It will shoot you backside forward giving you more momentum.

    TBH the best way to learn IMO. Is if you have access to huge/head height+ transition. You can practice doing them on a wall and get really comfortable esp if its slick/slippery to add some aspects of forgiveness if you have to bail. Learn pop/timing...and how speed affects how much pop/air you get...get really comfortable with the rhythem/timing...then attack a smaller transition and go for doing airs/ollies over lip...and back in. Since in reality the ones you were practicing on a vert/wall were typically higher into the bank/wall/transition. IMO it makes landing into lip of a 4 or 5' transition alot easier IMO...bc its like your only really landing/riding for a second at most if not fractions of seconds when going faster...Once you master that survival instinct...its like tricking yourself into learning a fs/bs air. You relize its all about the speed/setup doing the air/trick almost feels like its in slow motion...then when you land into the lip of a smaller ramp like a 4' again youre only really riding that ramp/downards for "so long" of a period of time before you have to setup for the next wall...its a good way of training yourself to really see/feel out the trick that way...to focus on the ride up/line, and pop/air timing the land/ride away happens so quick it becomes an afterthought/instinct. Either way i tried "learning" on smaller transition like bellflowers bowl that grows in size etc....but tbh...it was alot easier just riding to the deepest part/wall and workign my way up the ramp little by little doing ollies/airs...until you get comfotable enough with how much speed you actully need to pop a good ollie...that you can start going over lip/coping. Even when trying to adapt to a bigger/different park/bowl ill do a couple airs/ollies under the lip mid run/flow....just to feel out where im going to pop when i have more speed/want to catch real air. I base this/training off of the fact that its exactly how i learned halfcabs and nollie half cabs in transition....by doing the same exact process.

    Good video, especially with the straight line tip and the slow mo. Most people recommend rainbow curves and hips for learning fs ollies, the straight line required a lot more ollie control i think.

      It’s not so much good physical shape as much as it’s good pumping technique. Muscle can compensate for bad technique but big people can still get air. Seen plenty of big dudes get some massive air at our local park.

    I've been airing above coping on medium (6-8ft) transition (can ollie above coping on small ones but find it hard because there not so steep). Think I'm starting to get a feeling for being on the inside of the air and seeing inside the wall to land clear of the coping but a little scared still. Does your wall or quarter need to be vert to do this correctly? or can you apply some extra bonk and pull to land on the inside.
    There's a nice quarter I see at my local (about 7-8ft) that some people air its just I can see its not vert, and the only section with vert is really tight so I'd prefer to try it else where.
    Any tips on hanging up or feeling out landing on the inside would be sick!

    Bro, amazing video! Im struggling too. After watching the slowmo, i realized (correct me if im wrong, anyone) that it is not like he goes up until the coping and then ollies to go over the coping, for me at the beginning of the air he has already throw himself high over beyond the height of the coping. So i kinda visualize now as not going on the transition and then doing an ollie, its a one piece thing, u have to go to the transition thinking "i want to throw my body passing the coping". And that to me matches what people mean when they tell to imagine as if the transition was taller than it actually is.
