- Quick Tips Ep. 4: Fixing Common Ollie Problems a.k.a. How To Ollie Higher and Better
(I recorded this in February but right before I released it a few channels uploaded how to ollie higher videos so I decided to wait a little.)
Quick Tips isn't a how to series. It is meant to address specific issues not only with particular skate tricks but also with other areas of skateboarding knowledge.
This Quick Tips was geared a little more towards the beginner skater who is either working on their ollies or has just learned them and wants to try to improve them. I didn't want to give the same old "put your foot lower and pop harder" explanation that everyone else gives. A lot of concepts in skateboarding are easy to teach but there are also a lot that come down to straight muscle memory and experience. I tried my best to explain my thoughts on common ollie mistakes I've seen but when it comes down to it the best way to learn is to get out there and practice!
What do you guys think of this quick tips series? Is it helpful to go more indepth into certain aspects of a trick or is a regular trick tip good enough?
Good luck and have fun! :D
Thank you for watching!

Jesus Christ this guy made this unbelievably simple
yep😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tyler I i ollied, it was fine, i could get some air, but that back foot thing helped me so much
TZ Ice same here
I still can’t do it
pel pel
i cant ollie and i have tried soo many times. do you have any tips. (and yes i already watched his video about how to ollie)
Probably the best ollie tutorial out there
thom cash probably the best ollie tutorial ever. It reminds me of advices from my friends, but all of them together.
thom cash IT IS
I watch tutorials for both braille and vl. They both have amazing tutorials, but i def feel braille focuses more on beginning while vl focuses on more skate support after the fact of attempting but failing the trick... thats just how i see it anyway
definetely
agreed
Is it legal to be this good at explaining?
haha
fr this by far the best tutorial for better ollies
No we need the police to take him to his brain CELL
Noice one lol
no hes wanted in 8 countrys
you made it alot easier, first it was like
me: front foot, you need to slide
front foot: no, I don't think I will
IKR
No idea how to get over this, I have the same problem
Same lol
VanillaEarthbound practice just sliding for 10 minutes to get the motion down and get muscle memory I hope this helped
Dude this guy explains it soooooo much better than everyone else
I just landed my first high ollie today
congrats man!!
Congrats
Nice job dude

silver noob ay do you still skate? i’m genuinely curious on what you can do now.
This tutorial 15 years earlier and my skateboarding career could have actually gone places.
thats sad...
that's happy...
thats exciting...
That's crazy...
That's insane...
if anyone is still here, I am adding a tip. Record yourself and watch it. I realized that i can pop but my foot stays on the board
+1 helped me heaps after I started recording
yeah its always good to see what you're doing from a different perspective, nice tip
fr this helps so much
Yeah recording in slo mo really helped
if you're struggling with your foot staying on the board you just need to jump and already be in a upward motion before popping
This tutorial was perfect. Your "incorrect" ollies literally looked exactly like mine, which helped me know exactly how to improve off of it. Thanks a bunch!
Same
This is the most detailed "how to Ollie" videos I've seen yet, I can Ollie, but not as high as I'd like, This is the first video that showed what I was doing wrong. Thanks man, really appreciate it
Can you Ollie higher now?
you are not Alone
dont skip leg day
@@spaceoctopus7987 Loll
Is dis chipotle?
Excellent video, many people miss the back leg thing.
X88X cool 2 mots en français
Ik i have a friend who has that problem. He gave up and scoots now... sad nigga dayz indeed
X88X yeah my problem was not lifting up my leg so my back leg would go back on the ground before my front leg
I did
Damn, you explained the pop without just saying "just pop". I've been trying to figure out how to pop better and that was the best explanation breakdown I've seen so far. Thanks!
You can tell he actually put effort in the video and in trying to teach everything very well
I’m 57 yrs old and been skateboarding for two yrs now. This really simplifies it for me. That whole pop , teeter and front foot guide makes so much device now. I’m poping on a mini now easily
Can you do an ollie
now this is the perfect example of “you’re never too old to start”
congrats
what an absolute unit
Mad lad
Your tutorials are definitely the best on the internet. And the best part is that you don't have loads of cheap cringe worthy humor, I came here to learn to skate, I want practical advise not fake canned jokes to crowd please.
did someone say loads of cheap cringe worthy humor?? Braille is *shooked*
@@nunyabusiness776 also skate or die lmao
That's just how everyones personality is at Braille
nunya business nah mostly Skate or Die
@@maryam4259 ngl he sounds like the biggest poser ever
Before watching this your ollies were 1 inch, now after watching this under the arrow is your height.

NathanGames YT the first person to like this be like :(
Lol like begger
bigboihenaz damn I’m nuts
it was 1 inch today I will comment again tomorrow today I realized I was making a mistaje with my ollies

If only i saw this 3 years ago. xD better then braille
Garage Stripper so true
Agreed
Way better than Braille

Came here from braille cause his video is incomplete manual... Hes looka like very cool tho.
For what is held to be skateboarding's most basic trick, whole books could be written on Advanced Ollie Theory. To get the feel for the ollie, it helps to really understand what it is you're trying to do, and how the weight of the board and inertia play a crucial part. Most tutorials heavily emphasise the back foot kicking down the tail hard, and then just say 'slide the front foot forward'. Aaron Kyro even recommends practicing the 'slide' separately for minutes on end. I'm not convinced this is useful, since when you do an actual ollie, you're going to have to do this 'slide' on a board that is quickly raising up, rather than staying at a 40 degree angle to the ground. I've always thought of the 'slide' more as a case of deliberately trying to 'grip' the rubber of my front shoe sole in the sweet spot (kind of in the pocket) and using whatever traction I can get to lever the board straight. This can take some time to master, but as far as timing goes, you're going to want to integrate a slight delay in this front foot action - indeed, trying to do a 'late' push can really help you get the feeling for this one. Basically, you need to snap your tail hard enough so that when the nose end of the board comes up, you can feel the pressure of the board pushing against the side of your front foot. All this in a slit second, naturally, but for me that's what makes a good ollie: popping the tail, waiting for the board to kind of 'snag' on my front foot, and only then sucking up my back foot and pushing out my front. Hope this is useful to someone.
Thank you. Your suggestion is very helpful.
Agreed. I wish I had seen this video before the Braille vids. The scraping your shoe up the board thing is a good illustration for how to level the board out, but it's a little like putting the cart before the horse. I tried that for weeks with little improvement before realizing that I had to get my front foot out of the way before anything else. Saw this vid and was doing better ollies within an hour. The Braille vids are great, but this one was much more helpful.
Arno Theadorno yes I totally agree. Getting the ollie right is extremely important. I can do a sluggish ollie almost everytime, and rarely actually do a proper one. Thats just not gonna cut it for me cos I think ollies have to be done right in order to progress on to the next trick. I think the "sucking up the back foot" after you pop is extremely important like you have said. I am not an expert or anything, but I think this part in particular makes all the difference in the world. Also timing the pop is really difficult as well. This is the hardest part of all in my opinion. I am having alot of trouble popping the board right before I jump.
Très bien
Arno Theadorno
This is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. Nobody else ever mentioned the part about having your tail in the middle of your foot. They’re all “pop, slide and jump”. This was very helpful.
Been skating for almost 20 years and this is the best tutorial I've seen. I applied the first tip and already pop higher
A very comprehensive ollie breakdown. Awesome job!
thank you!
VLSkate hey can you help me I can't get my back foot to get up and I've been trying to Ollie for 3 months now, it would be amazing if the real vlskate could give me some pointers
VLSkate Hey I uploaded a video on my Ollie right now and it would be great if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong
this tutorial is way better than Braille skate
Agreed
Facts !
Time to unsub to Braille Skateboarding
Oh come on Braille isn't that bad
Correct by along shot
I just landed my first concrete Ollie today after committing !! Now literally all I wanna do is skate lol and yeah! I hold on to a rail to get used to the feeling :) (still need improvement tho)
Zoowiee nice job dude i'm trying to improve too
how's it going now?
Out of all the skate board people I've seen try to explain, he's the best. Comes out as #1.
after trying for a month and not getting one good ollie i watched this video and in three tries i was landing them like nothing! thanks a ton dude
that's awesome man! I'm super glad to hear that it helped
+VLSkate hey bro, I had the issue with my ollie going up, but not leveling, im a begginer, but of course gotten used to my board first, and timing, and after watching this, it made more sense as to wat I was doing wrong, and how to fix it, and this was very descriptive, just takes time to learn! im a slow learner sometime xD anyways, left a like on this amazing video, keep up the great work!
Awesome!
0:25 my first Ollie types of Ollie’s
1:14 my second types of Ollie’s
Same bro
Lol
Me: S.O.S.
You: it's timing
Me : you are a lifesaver
you're the only one who doesn't just say pop and slides. you give tips. it really helped me
I wish I watched this when I was starting to skate
Ty
I can’t get in the air please help. I have been trying for so long and I can’t do it.
Edit: NVM I GOT IT THANK YOU!!!!!!!
How did you do it I need it too
I’m totally okay You’ve probably got it by now, but if not, really pop the tail. Like a lot. Get a massive noise as you hit the tail on the ground. Then bring your back foot up a bit as you slide your front foot forwards. Hope this helps.
[3cubed] wrong, I quit a month ago.
@@azula2399 rip. I just did it today, just a few inches off the ground, but it is honestly just muscle memory after awhile
How is it now
This is the first tutorial I ever saw that mentions the actual jump when popping the tail. I’ve been trying to get an Ollie down for months, practicing the single components on their own, pressing down hard on the tail. I always wondered how that motion was ever going to propel me upwards. So thank you for this detailed breakdown, I will try and apply your tips and (hopefully) finally complete an Ollie!
Did you get it?
bruh i could ollie on my second day lmao
@@jackchapman8878 that’s great for you (and I’m not beings sarcastic) but some people have a harder time. Just respect everyone, because everyone learns at different paces
same a lot of videos don’t explain it properly
I was trying to learn a pop shuvit and accidentally learned a backside 180 😂
You mean Frontside 180?
No its backside
Bro that pfp 😂😂😂😳
@@georgewashingtoniv8745 that makes even less sense. Pop shuvit rotates backside. (The frontside/backside thing doesn’t make much sense outside of grinds. It’s switched outside of grinds. Quite wacky)

Out of all the amazing skateboarding advice online, your content stands out in the quality of analysis, the simplicity of your instructions, and the diversity of concepts that you cover. Thank you!
Woah dude you explain it the simplest and the best way. Officially one of my favourite skater youtubers now! You are up there with Chris Chann on my list😀
That Skating Ferret TFF thanks man, that's sick! super huge compliment, i love chris :)
VLSkate where to put your wieght? front foot? back foot? or both?
back for a split second then jumping forward with your front foot high enough to catch the board.
Moist gang
One thing these tutorials always miss is that jumping is important but sucking up your feet towards your body is more important. Watch a short guy that can dunk, his legs might be fully stretched out but three feet off the ground, his head is also three feet higher in the air. Watch a skateboarder ollie over something that is three feet high, his head will be a little higher in the air than it is when he is standing but his legs will be sucked upso that his knees are near his shoulders.
BigSirZebras that's true, i do ollies right now by not so much jumping but kinda popping and sucking my feet up really quickly, it's not a great way to ollie and i'm trying to correct it
best ollie tutorial ive seen. came here after I did my first ollie yesterday, wasnt very high and i was holding onto a handrail but im super stoked about it and feel more confident about perfecting it after watching this video. thank you!
yo honestly this is literally the best tutorial on getting better ollies ive ever seen. bro you explained it so well i cant really believe it.
sick tutorial! i can now ollie over the moon
but fr this vid actually helped a lot
How good are your ollies now?
Caden McMillan i just landed the ollie, whew that was hard. time to learn kickflips to saturn
@@scrumfy.7069 Lol
This is by far the greatest Ollie tutorial I have ever seen. I am 34 and getting back into skating. In the 90s the lesson I received was "pop the tail and slide your front foot." I never was able to Ollie more than 2 to 3 inches off the ground poorly. I just watched this held onto something and I was able to get almost as high as my board standing upright. I was actually scared because I had never been that high off the ground on my board. Thank you for all of your tutorials. I feel like I will actually be able to reach my goal of landing a kickflip and even set more goals. Your "impossible" tutorial actually makes me feel as if I will be able to do my favorite trick that I have ever seen. Honestly I saw Rodney I am a god Mullen do it in the Plan B video and I was smitten. I never thought that was a trick I would ever be able to do. Thank you for all that you do. You have given me hope that I will be able to have an actual bag of tricks.
I couldn’t Ollie but after I watched the video I was able to Ollie really good!! Thank you
Hey, i wanna say thank you for spending your time in doing such a quality tutorial for beginners not to get frustrated . I just saw the video and I'm gonna try it out today
This is a proper way to show how to ollie. Nice. Salute.
Best tutorial I've seen yet. Thanks brother.
I love how detail of the video is and hats off to this guy for sharing all the details how to build the skill to execute it with the right technique. You deserve a title as "professor".
I haven't seen any tutorials where they show the jump without the board. It was so helpful in getting my motion, balance and timing right. Thank you for the tutorial, it's the best I have seen!
Its 2019 and this dude taught me how to make my first ollie. Thanks so much man you have no idea how long I went at this. You give the best tutorials out there keep it up!!
Great that you've got your ollie now - I'm still struggling after A LOT of failures! What was it that finally made you get the ollie?
Henrik Bergström For me it was all about timing. I could pop the board up but my front foot just didn’t know when to push down. When I started to push down my feet were messed up and off the board. What you need to realize is that the second you feel a little pressure from the board onto your front foot you need to push down. Also getting really comfortable with throwing your board down and jumping onto it can be really helpful. Just building your balance is crucial to an ollie and really all of skateboarding. Hope this helps! Best wishes on boarding.
Do yiu still skate? What can you do now?
you deserve 10 times the subs you have. 1. you're a good skater. 2. have amazing tutorials 3. have an amazing voice. keep it up. you're my favorite skater youtuber
thank you and have you ever tried doing a trick down those stairs at 6:09
ive watched so many tutorials that never mentioned the back foot thing and only poorly talked about timing, THANKS best tutorial so far
Better than skating made simple by Braille Skating
True.
so true
Vox Populi MUCH better !
James Whitlock dude this really helped
I like Brail better
I was like:
Oooooooooohhhhhh!!!
So, that's why my ollie isn't consistent :)
thanks man! Now I'm more confident on skateboarding
subscribed
so what makes your ollie not consistent tho?
+Pijen I didn't use the ball of my back foot
Asunatsu「 アスナツ 」 Omg same
Literally the best ollie tutorial, people always just say (pop, drag, land) it's not that simple and there's so many key important steps that no one talks about (besides you) such as the jump, forward foot down motion, and a lot more. Amazing video
This is way better than any toturial by Aaron kiro, a sponsored skater from the San Francisco Bay Area
I'm just commenting this so I can get back to this video and thank you for when I can land my first Ollie. I've been to scared to do it, but by some reason I just understood it better and feel confident to try it a lot tomorrow!
good luck, you'll definitely get it!
awesome I'm 35 just trying to learn to skate and your explanation is a huge help...congrats again on 10000 by the way
this could be fun sports and other videis on ur bio it says ur 10 😂👌🏻
Ur 10 bud
R/kidsonyoutube
I’m a beginner and I always did those common mistakes like popping but not jumping and my right foot wouldn’t slide at all but thanks to this tutorial I’m pretty good at ollies now thanks to you
My Ollies honestly suck, I watched a tutorial that sucked before this and I only got like 1 inch off the ground. Not only did this help, but it sounds so much more easier then I thought. This also helped me with my confidence, thank you. This is the best tutorial I’ve seen yet
This is way better than all the Ollie tutorials I've ever seen
This was the best and easiest tutorial to copy from. Your videos top Braille Skateboarding!
I’ve never seen anyone explain something this good
This is by far the most descriptive tutorial. No one ever talks about to shift your body weight or the details of the pop.
Omg u described my exact “rocketed” position and I freakin fixed it
I was not lifting up my back foot and now I did and it was way higher thanks man
Others are showing how to do ollie, and you are teaching how to do ollie.. perfect video ✅❤️
i really love the way you broke this down to every inch of the ollie technique.its such an important fundamental trick. a solid technical ollie opens up so many possibilities!!
I landed my first ollie!!!!
Omg thanks that helped a lot!
Gonna be honest, this is way better than any other Ollie vid I’ve seen, this guy is really under rated
Best tutorial on YT period I can do it now even people who have like 5mil subs explain it terribly but u have been a lifesaver thanks
This is a pretty awesome compliment! I’m a small channel that teaches beginners how to skate. I have a couple different videos on the Ollie, but would love to get your opinion on this one: How to Ollie: The only Three things You Need to Understand! ruclips.net/video/shSXCqs8lTk/видео.html It’s short and to the point. Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance!
This is the best community and skate Chanel out there
this was a awesome tutorial haha you should go tell braile how to fix their tutorials cause yours is way better :D
also how long did it take you to get your first ollie ??
By far best tutorial I've seen on an Ollie
Probably most helpful tutorial ever thanks 🙏
do you have any tricks to remember the timing for an ollie, like a cue to look for maybe
I swear to god the second i watched the vid i got a high ollie
Don't use God's name in vain
Finally, someone who shows the Ollie jump without a board. So much more helpful. Timing was key too, thx this was killer!!!
congratulations for bringing the back foot into light! :) when I started giving it attention and thinking it is a piston pressing down, and the up, as you said, my ollies begin to look like ollies. I am still surprised so few skateboard "teachers" mention it...
I wish this came out when I first started in my teens (2000's) lol
I keep sliding my foot in the right motion, having my foot on the tail like u had, but I can barely get the tail off the ground, help?
Flux
maybe it’s the timing like he mentioned. or maybe its that its not just a slam against the tail, it’s a pop then you move it up a little
Nvm, I figured out that I can’t slide my foot. For some reason when I pop the board, it is so hard to slide my foot
Wait no I’m actually sliding my foot, I just can’t get it to go higher and level out
Did u figure it out yet?
ellison_tolenti so can you Ollie now
I literally been trying to do a better Ollie for 2 months and I finally got it today because of you thank you
all the vids i had watched didnt explain this much but this vid is the the best and i have gotten much better after this video
Sometimes, I loft my back foot barely, then pop
Hey man great vid. I need help with my ollies. I am able to do them consistently and with decent height. But whenever I Ollie my board always turns a bit frontside ( I ride goofy). I think this is due to my habit of swinging my right arm behind me whenever I Ollie. If I try to keep my arm straight and not swing my armbehind me this affects my Ollie and I can't get the same height.Do you have any tips on fixing this problem?
I have this twist built in my ollies to. I found 1 my body is slightly "charged" with a twist which releases itself when i jump (try to "decharge" your body by turning it slightly before jumping - align your shoulders differently, left or right) 2 Kick your ollie straight! Don't allow it to turn for a long time while u watch it. 3 Watch the Tony Hawk video from sept 2016 where he shows how its done. best wishes!
Thank you my friend!
Piont your shoulders like a hockey player doing a bodycheck in the direction you are ollying, this will make your feet paralel & straight, as well as shoulders, the spinning/turning problem shall hinder you no more...
your shoulders should b parallel to your board that way u wont go fs
if shoulders are too forward you land on nose and slam into the pavement. A fine balence i guess, depends on how fast and the obstcale, must be feel?
its 2022 right now and I just landed my first high ollie today because of you bro thank you so much man i fucking love u
This guy right here is an absolute LEGEND I’ve learnt how to do so much in only 2 weeks ❤️❤️❤️
One for kickflips please
Agreed. I wanna be ablr to do them effortlesly
definitely
hope he does! I noticed foot position does a lot, foot more in the middle give higher and slower flip that's easy to control, but if I move it out the Flip is fast and I get almost no Ollie
+Braeden Lasher alertly has one
+Brandon Skates Thanks , didn't realised !
4:53 also bringing ur arms up to jump a lil better 💀
i love how relaxed he is, he never screams like the other youtubers do👍👍
You have the perfect set up for practicing flat ground!
I've been skateboardingin for 6 months and i still cant ollie 😐
ayo can you ollie now?
Thrax yeah kinda
gg
I got my skateboard when I was 7, learning to Ollie after consistently using it just now at the age of 14. I’m super comfortable on my board, it was just that I didn’t have any desire for tricks lmao. But at least it got me to get tricks quicker, so on the bright side, you should be rlly comfy on ur board :)))
I've been skatingboarding for 2 years and I still can't ollie. It kinda feel embarrassing ngl
I can’t even commit
Just landed my first non noob Ollie thank you you!! 🤟 Best explanation on RUclips.
When I got my first board, I had watched some Ollie tutorials. And when I was going to try some Ollies it never turned out good and when I did it with my friend he saw I didn’t pop the tail and staged my foot up. So I started trying to pop and then lift my foot up and it work. After that day my Ollie have just getting better and better. So if I was new and wanted to learn Ollie, I really recommend this video! Its explaining everything very good!
Braille is in it for the cash and the views.
This guy is trying to teach us.
men please a video of ollie while riding
Juan Pablo
It’s the same. Do the exact same steps
This made my ollie so much better in just 2 day!
This is litterally the BEST explaining Video about Ollie ill ever seen...
Words cannot explain how much I love this vid I just landed my first Ollie after 3 months thanks to this video I love u man
This vid helped me out so much and told me what I was doing wrong and In just about an hour or 2, I went from less then a foot, to a few feet and now I can Ollie up curbs thanks to you. What I was doing wrong was, I wasn't jumping with my back foot as much as I needed to. When I landed my first high Ollie on a curb I was so happy and it felt like I just floated up the curb lol
I started seeing improvement in my ollies right after I watched this video thank you so much
This is way better than any other ollie video on RUclips. well done
