for 5 years i’ve tried to learn the ollie, this summer…this summer will be the one i know it
>>194777What the fuck dude, it's not even hard. Can you jump?
>>194777Checked. Based anon. I would recommend just riding the damn thing so you are more comfy. Do some hippy jumps so your used to landing on the board.. The Ollie will come more natural then.
>>194777friendly reminder anon, jump off the tail and not the ground or else all that energy goes straight into the dirt and not your board
>>194777i think what fucks people up is they try to do all the steps of an ollie in a sequence when it needs to be one fluid motion
You just jump and pop the board. I wouldn't say it's easy but you can do it.
You just push your rear foot down and pop the board, while sliding your front foot up to the nose. Thence lift your rear foot while leveling the board with your front foot. This is probably a bait thread but if not, now you know how to Ollie.
>>195506I wonder if anyone in the history of skating has heard that advice and then suddenly could Ollie.
Not OP but I’m having a hard time with it too. My problem is in my pop, I’m either jumping off the tail resulting in me getting air but the board only coming up 2-3 inches. Or when I try to jump first then pop as my body weight leaves the board it totally kills the power of my jump and I barely come off the ground
>>195506knowing the steps to a trick isnt the same as learing how to do the steps
lmfao all these fuckers are lying to youyou have to have already jumped milliseconds before the pop occurs basically pretend its sf and ur sagat and ur regular so tiger knee happens with leading left knee>tiger knee (+kick)>pop happens behind you (your right foot taps the ground very rapidly using your ankle and calf)>you've already tiger knee'd so the leading foot is dragging up as the board comes into your foot *>lift your back mother fucking foot as soon as your ankle snaps, tuck that back knee into your shoulder as you tiger kneeboom city trashcans are your bitch*additional caveats include >the further back your leading foot is, the more vertical the nose of the board is able to get as it pivots around the center of the board further behind leading bolts>letting the ground catch your board before you do is sinful
>>194777you can do it. an ollie is just a human jumping while kicking a skateboard in a way that makes it follow your trajectory. it’ll happen. never give up!

>>195745Thanks fren
>>195673I got my pop down, now it looks my next thing I need to get better at is leveling. I slide my foot up the board then just fall right back down on the board. I recorded myself and saw the frame by frame, back foot is fine it’s just the front foot that’s not pushing it forward. I’m practicing stationary on a doormat, does the board level out easier when you’re moving?
>>195506Your beyond retarded
>>197121The foot sliding up the board more goes straight up and across slightly to keep contact. When this occurs you need to lift your back foot up so the tail has room to come up. The combination of these two actions work as a lever to balance out the board.Off the board, it is like hopping off your back and then lifting it to level your feet mid air.Ollies are easier stationary but I would recommend learning all tricks slightly rolling (unless this is your only way tompractice then go for it, better than nothing). Its almost like relearning the trick going from stationary to moving.Side note: I think learning a bunch of tricks stationary helped learn doing them fakie. My fakie flips are so much more consistent then kickflips.Also try keep your balance over your board and square. A bit more front foot orientated. Too often I see guys try Ollie's while being way too far back, commit to one and slip out and earn their first hipper.
Just do this.Also doing cavemans (cavemen?) and bonlessy shit is worth it. Gets you used to landing without eating shit.
>>194827What fucks them up is they don't realise they have to jump lol. They learn the tail pop and front foot pull but never actually leave the ground
