Byron Taylor what do you mean that you disagree though? Like with my statement or the other dude saying wishing he had a teacher making the difference?
Because of you guys I went out today with my sister and we bought our first boards together. Thank you for giving me the motivation to learn how to skate. Keep up the good work everyone
Amalia Madrid-Lilly remember, skating isnt an easy sport! But with the beginners I’ve seen, you’re doing way better than them 😹😹 just keep practicing and you’ll get there!
Slide front foot out and forward as if you raise your knee them do a kick to the side by swinging your foot that way , so after the knee raise keep it all there just swing your foot like a swing towards the nose. Didnt hear that here
If you are learning the ollie right now, i have a tip. What helped to me when i was learning it was just standing on my board, pop, jump and land. Don’t do the slide yet. When you feel comfortable doing it without the slide, just try to do an ollie while holding on something, i learned it this way and i got it in 1 day
Carlos is such a good teacher. I've been watching a lot of ollie tutorials and trying the practice steps from sms and have still been struggling with putting it all together, but he pointed out a few different things in this video that I haven't heard anyone mention before that made me think about approaching it differently. The step of popping and jumping without worrying about sliding your foot seems like the perfect intermediate step between trying the motions one at a time standing still, and then trying to just put it all together. My timing and coordination is my biggest issue in learning this trick and listening to his critiques and tips definitely made me think about it differently and cleared up some of my questions/concerns about the movements
Lol I was waiting for the step one, weight on tail, weight to nose.. step two, shred ur shoe for ten mins.. now try.. nope... Close.. you forgot step two!
From watching I think the step you really missed was bending down further. You kind of mentioned it towards the end but that would have helped her a lot. She wasn't really popping and was more leaning her weight into the tail and then trying to hop. I think you could have gotten her ollieing better quicker if you focused a little more on that step.
Ban Velasquez well that, and this is Carlos first time teaching and as most first timers the expect the student to already know certain things... Example I legit got distracted when I was teaching my sister math and neglected to think about the fact she's only learnt to count with her hands
I've never liked skateboarding until like 3 weeks ago from now. I had a skateboard when I was like 5 but didn't like it at all.(I'm 15 now) Yesterday one of my friends finally brought his skateboard out gave it to me and we went riding. My friends had pennyboards so we rode our boards without stopping. While we were staying I was trying to ollie but couldn't really do it. When I got home I started watching videos on how to ollie. So today we went riding again and after like 3 or 4 tries I did my first ollie. After it I started doing it more but I couldn't always land on the board. So I literally learned or I least get my first ollie in 2 days. Or in like max 4 hours of riding.
Never in my life have I had this much confidence in speaking to another human being. Lol and she’s 10 years old. Bright future no matter what she does. Very well spoken.
As a beginner this helped me because I got my Ollie down standing still but when he said jump towards him I never thought of that so I’m gonna practice that
Thanks carlos watched a lot of videos , this one really helped the most , the body leaning forward technique and a harder pop got me getting my ollie how i wanted it appreciate it legend , and thanks to the braille team for your awesome videos , recently started skating again and i love your channel, long live the braille legends
I’m struggling hard with the timing myself. I can Ollie a foot or 2. But the timing of already jumping and THEN snapping the tail down within a micro second is extremely hard to get down. But that’s where the real height comes. Hopefully I’ll get it.
Carlos is a good confidence boosting teacher. Aaron is a good teacher too don’t think I’m saying that though, they make a good team and really push people to do better an it works
They forgot the crucial step which was, don't push down with your back knee, push down with your ankle. If you push down with your knee on the tail, it won't generate as much power as well as forcing you to lean backwards and your front foot won't slide up as much and you just get a rocketed ollie (where only the front trucks get off the ground). If you use your ankle muscles to push your foot down on the tail, at the apex of your jump (Jump > Pop > Slide your foot > Lift back foot > Land) you will get a stronger pop as well as keeping your balance more towards the front. It's also handy to get the balance right so when you start ollieing while rolling, you won't land on the tail and crack the back of your head open when the board shoots out in front of you.
I love Braille! But a great idea is to do a version of “up to speed” Donut media does with cars. It would be so fun to learn where the name of each trick came from and maybe do one trick each week. Do some fun editing like donut media does with cars and I think people would love to see. As a non skateboarder but dreamer of starting because of Braille, I would adore hearing where the names of all these tricks come from, be thorough if you can, I have no place asking for that, but again check donut media on how they do up to speed and replicate that with skateboarding, love you all!
She had quite a few actual Ollie's in this video. Even with the skate trainers off! Practicing the timing between pushing your back foot down, and lifting it up off the tail, is really tough. It's very fast and if you're too slow your tail won't come up much even if you slide your foot right. The timing is very tight to transition from popping the board to lifting up your back foot. Because the back foot is basically holding it low to the ground when it tries to gain momentum upwards. Once the upwards momentum is shut down, nothing short of going really fast or sliding your foot forward really far will bring it up.
I dont know if its the way she puts pressure on the tail, maybe bc she's new into skateboarding, but I think she might try to skate in regular stance....
I'm kind of heavy, and was worried about snapping my board if I popped too hard. Yesterday I tried giving it a bit more pop, and it felt like I was getting a couple inches off the ground. Now I just need to work on my slide and leveling out.
Hey Braille team wassup!! I got a good question..... My best slam was board sliding the gun barrel of an army tank at the American Legion down from my house when I was a kid it was a perfect slide but I failed to notice that gimmick at the end of the barrel with the holes for fire of something know what I'm talking about?? So my board stopped but I didn't..... I did a face plant scorpion from about 8 feet in the air onto concrete!!! It was great.... Except for the monster scab on my face and chip in my board.....and tooth ...and jaw fracture...But anyway.. What's your best fail,slam or down right " what made me think that was a good idea"? Moment ????
I’m having trouble doing an ollie and it’s frustrating me. I’m learning them using cracks and the problem is that I can’t slide my foot up. Like I can pop the tail but I can barely slide my foot, no matter how I tried and yes I do turn it into a 90 degree angle unless I’m doing something wrong. Also, when I try to commit by doing an ollie within a crack so like pavement or concrete, I can’t get my fear away from falling backwards, even if I ollie into grass I’m just scared to get hurt. Any tips?
A thing that I notice is that most all skaters "throw their arms up" as they ollie to assist with the whole jumping motion; It seems rather essential to the whole motion. @11:18, watch his arms...
I don’t think anyone is going to read this but idc. I wish I had more confidence. I was so happy that I got my first board like a couple of months ago. My worst problem was that I didn’t like to skate when people saw me (in public or whatever) So I was going to try and not jump off the board as fast as a human being was nearby. Two boys was nearby, I kept skating and they screamed at me “YOU SUCK AT SKATING”. I answered with “I’m a beginner”. (I had only been skating for like less than a week) I didn’t care at that moment, but the day after that all my confidence (that I almost didn’t even have in the first place) just went 📉. I know that most people would say “You shouldn’t care about it”, “their opinions doesn’t matter” but like that isn’t making any difference for me. I am a sensitive little soul🥺 /15 yr old Oh, and after that I haven’t been able to skate🤦🏼♀️
This feels like the girl is 100% a public speaker and sales person
Azurii ikr 🤣
Meh not really
Azurii um,, how?
Nani-ka :D her voice is just so strong and confident, i definitely see it
@@sallyhoward2455 two years later im re watching this lmao, im definitely not a public speaker im just a loud extroverted person in general 😂
didn't realize how short carlos was until seeing him next to a little girl
To be fair that ten year old girl is huge for her age. But yeah Carlos is a small man haha. Seems like it aids him in skating though!
Same lol
WhY. u BuLlY M3
He be looking like don Ramon from El Chavo Del 8
Really? I’ve been could tell it even in his voice!!!😂
Carlos is such a nice guy, and an awesome teacher :)
2conOcio ikr and the cutest teacher!
Yeah
Carlos the G! Always patient and teaches really well.
Mrrabby89 Only if I had someone like that
Chewbacca218 218 you have a skatepark nearby?
I disagree completely when my Ollie’s looked like that my issue was that I only rid the bored for a bout 2 hours around my neighborhood.
Byron Taylor what do you mean that you disagree though? Like with my statement or the other dude saying wishing he had a teacher making the difference?
This actually made me realize that my issue with ollies is that I keep forgetting that I need to jump, not just pop and slide
😂 you’re just sitting there popping the board and sliding “WHY WONT IT GO IN THE AIR!?”
Lol
Yesh that was my Problem too
Same lmao
JD Films did you learn how to ollie?
the way he explains it just makes so much more sense than every video i’ve seen before, thanks a ton for the help!
Liquid Mint still can’t f**king do it
Chikken Plays I just got my board and I’m getting good at it
Carlos voice should be in a video game
Dead Weight DEFINITELY
Dead Weight omg yeah lmao
He should have been in a skate 3 game to be honest. I know this comment is old but someone just had to say it
If you ever watched Angry Joe Show. Other Joe sounds almost exactly like Carlos.
When I learned how to Ollie I just learned it by myself in my driveway, would have been a dream to have a great teacher like Carlos
same!!!
Omega G same
The fastest way to ollie is tapping the X button.
Your profile picture is probably your face when typing that comment.
Katastrophic 😂😂😂😂😂
Katastrophic Damn 😂
Rusty Nickels shut up I’m just learning and tha s not helping
Alex Barnes I mean he ain’t wrong
Because of you guys I went out today with my sister and we bought our first boards together. Thank you for giving me the motivation to learn how to skate. Keep up the good work everyone
Nice
Braille Skateboarding made me really want to start so I go a board for Christmas and now I practice tricks
He ded
Intersinister great!
Hey guys how are u going?
is it possible for me to start learning to sk8 even though I'm 27?
TIME REAP3R 91 ye
Why not??? U can start if ur 70 if u really want to do it.
TIME REAP3R 91 of course
Yes
Its never too late
Carlos is such a good teacher and very patient.
The horses gallop description was really on point. It yeilded immediate visible results
ITS ME
awesome! keep practicing and put your brother in the dust :)
Amalia Madrid-Lilly remember, skating isnt an easy sport! But with the beginners I’ve seen, you’re doing way better than them 😹😹 just keep practicing and you’ll get there!

Give us an update
Ew
Is this just an ad for skater trainers 😂
honestly he keeps bringing up the quality restating the name and asking for a review.
yep. check the description
just cut tennis balls to put on the wheels and you only have to spend 4 dollars.
Staker trainers are cool but I much rather do it without because after using the trainers you can’t do it without them lol
Yeah, learn tricks without trainers. What are you going to do trying to Ollie standing still?
My first board just came in the mail today!!! And Carlos is my inspiration! I love you Gabe!!!
SKATE ON BROTHER
awesome dude! practice and have fun skating :)
Did you order from revive?
Lmao Carlos just had to mention he can do handstands on a skateboard
braille needs one of those hour long infomercials that comes on at 3am
Gotta love the confidence this girl has in front of a camera. When I was this age I would not have been so comfortable being filmed. Props to her.
Do a Progress Daily series where Carlos teaches a newbie using skateboarding made simple!
If you are learning the ollie right now, i have a tip. What helped to me when i was learning it was just standing on my board, pop, jump and land. Don’t do the slide yet.

I hit my face with an Ollie, it can happen
The Nerdy Brony 2.02 trash
Kinda scared me but good to know 👍🏼
While i did an ollie i accidentally hit my face with my hand
@@neotree1313 I scraped my calf with the grip tape
Dale Decker did the same thing and cracked his forehead open, took a picture of it and got into Thrasher 🤣
this dudes a salesman and dosent even know it
he probably does
Carlos is the best skater there lol
i like mEmEs a lot no did you forget Aaron that’s a professional skater from the Sanfransisco Bay Area
If arron was teaching her how to ollie then he would of taught her WAY diffrently
Arron would of made her practice every step
Jezus Hemzelf gRaMmAr pOlIcE
Lol I was waiting for the step one, weight on tail, weight to nose.. step two, shred ur shoe for ten mins.. now try.. nope... Close.. you forgot step two!
*STEP TWO*
Well i think that he explained it better
I think that's the first time I have ever heard someone use the phrase "same difference" properly
Carlos should start voice acting, I like his voice
❤️
I kinda got the board to pop naturally, but i feel like the sliding part isnt there. I feel like im not sliding even if i am
Peter Le sameeeeee😭😭😭 have u learned how to yet?
Omg! How adorable is she!! Carlos, great job again.
From watching I think the step you really missed was bending down further. You kind of mentioned it towards the end but that would have helped her a lot. She wasn't really popping and was more leaning her weight into the tail and then trying to hop. I think you could have gotten her ollieing better quicker if you focused a little more on that step.
it's the secret for longer vids
Ban Velasquez well that, and this is Carlos first time teaching and as most first timers the expect the student to already know certain things... Example I legit got distracted when I was teaching my sister math and neglected to think about the fact she's only learnt to count with her hands
Im 7 min into the vid and was lookimg for this comment.
Its not his first time.. I doubt its his 100th... he has been doing lessons for quite some time.
Carlos is seriously an incredible teacher. Very kind and very versed.
Haven’t seen a Braille vid in a min but always love watch los teach people!
I've never liked skateboarding until like 3 weeks ago from now. I had a skateboard when I was like 5 but didn't like it at all.(I'm 15 now) Yesterday one of my friends finally brought his skateboard out gave it to me and we went riding.

I want Carlos to do a impossible into and nose Manuel. Please let this comment get seen
Watching them teach someone in person is way better because most the problems she is experiencing a lot of other people are as well.
I love watching Carlos teach people.
As a beginner this helped me because I got my Ollie down standing still but when he said jump towards him I never thought of that so I’m gonna practice that
When he said it’s like a gallop, it clicked in my brain and it makes the motion so much more simple. Mind blown
Do ollies in the grass and it does the same thing as the "skate trainers"
U get to pop though. My alternative is going to Walmart getting 4 tennis balls for like $3 and cut them and put them on the wheels
Carlos is a chill dude
Sensei Carlos!!! Dude's an excellent teacher.
Holy shit Carlos is a great teacher!
I thought Carlos was a kid at the beginning
Awesome job by all involved!!
"I'm an only child."
IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU GAB.
Bits of Pulp is this a joke
chill m8
“ Hey if you think skateboarding is easy then ski-“
*Skips*
Half of a Gallop...genius way to explain the leg motion. Imma use that this week when teaching my friend's daughter to ollie.
Im happy you guys made another ollie video. Been trying to make mine better for 6 months! Great video! 👍
Thanks carlos watched a lot of videos , this one really helped the most , the body leaning forward technique and a harder pop got me getting my ollie how i wanted it appreciate it legend , and thanks to the braille team for your awesome videos , recently started skating again and i love your channel, long live the braille legends
Feel like people rarely teach how to jump and push down to pop at the same time
Benny the Bear exactly , you kinda need to figure that out by yourself timing was really hard for in the beginning too
I’m struggling hard with the timing myself. I can Ollie a foot or 2. But the timing of already jumping and THEN snapping the tail down within a micro second is extremely hard to get down. But that’s where the real height comes. Hopefully I’ll get it.
This is literally a massive ad for the skater trainers lmaooo
Carlos is an awesome teacher man!!!
Carlos is a good confidence boosting teacher. Aaron is a good teacher too don’t think I’m saying that though, they make a good team and really push people to do better an it works
have i found the "carlos teaches" playlist? if not please direct me to it xD
Awwwwwww this is my favorite video now 😂🙌💚
I want also that patient teachers in my school
This girl is the definition of me in skateboarding right now
Carlos a pretty good teacher.

carlos is the best teacher
Carlos acting like a teacher is sooo funny 😆
This is exactly what I need!!
Love this channel so much and Please bring Arron’s mom
Gunner Mathew Hine Aaron's mom???
JUST LANDED MY FIRST OLLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you turn the skateboard off and on agin?
puppyloverslime 2345 that joke is so old
Thank God I clicked on this video on the right time now I can ollie I just had to lift my board from the middle of the tail like he said
Awesome class
Carlos is cool
I'm kind of heavy, and was worried about snapping my board if I popped too hard. Yesterday I tried giving it a bit more pop, and it felt like I was getting a couple inches off the ground. Now I just need to work on my slide and leveling out.
2:37 that's a joke. The back foot leaves the board before it pops. Anyways great video!
Learned how to ollie in 2 days thanks man
Hey Braille team wassup!! I got a good question.....

I have a tip that worked: to make your ollie higher try to do the kickflip foot raplacment
I feel like this video was just a massive plug for skater trainers
Carlos is a reeeeally good coach. :)
started skating yesterday, watched the video and listened to the "pop hard" and now on my 2nd day i got that shit down thx to my nigga carlos
Carlos slinging those skater trainers like a used car salesman
I’m having trouble doing an ollie and it’s frustrating me. I’m learning them using cracks and the problem is that I can’t slide my foot up.

A thing that I notice is that most all skaters "throw their arms up" as they ollie to assist with the whole jumping motion; It seems rather essential to the whole motion. @11:18, watch his arms...
Landed my first tre flip today
I also do handstands on a skateborad too carlos
I want papi Carlos to teach me
11:16 "put your head into it" is a tip I've haven't heard mentioned before.... We'll see how that goes
How did she do it right if she wasn’t even off the ground
Braille! Is anyone in the Braille family going to warped tour? I'll be at mountain view show
You guys are the best! She did awesome! I can't wait to kick my hubby butt in s.k.a.t.e! It's gonna be a bit, but it will happen! :)
Did you win? I need an update!
are ramps easier to start with or ollies?
Carlos! 💕
Why does it look so easy when Carlos does it
I'm sorry but those shoes disgust me Amalia I'm sorry
I like how he got on the floor to see her Ollie better.
Carlos sounds like abridged Kirito XD
i convinced my mom to get me Carlos as a teacher to help me skateboard yall IM PUMPED
how lmao
i got a question does the concave effect the ollie?
#braillearmy
I don’t think anyone is going to read this but idc.
I wish I had more confidence. I was so happy that I got my first board like a couple of months ago. My worst problem was that I didn’t like to skate when people saw me (in public or whatever)
So I was going to try and not jump off the board as fast as a human being was nearby.
Two boys was nearby, I kept skating and they screamed at me “YOU SUCK AT SKATING”.
I answered with “I’m a beginner”. (I had only been skating for like less than a week)
I didn’t care at that moment, but the day after that all my confidence (that I almost didn’t even have in the first place) just went 📉.
I know that most people would say “You shouldn’t care about it”, “their opinions doesn’t matter” but like that isn’t making any difference for me. I am a sensitive little soul🥺
/15 yr old
Oh, and after that I haven’t been able to skate🤦🏼♀️
mollie 🤙🏻
