I like that you focused on addressing the difference between stomping your foot and snapping your ankle. Very helpful. Outtakes were pretty funny too. Great video
Bro the outtakes made my day. Just stumbled upon your channel and this 39 year old, just back at it after 20+year, father of #6 on the way, will be subscribing. Great tips bro.
This is a very good and on point video, but the very best part is right at the end. Those outtakes cracked me up sooo hard, I couldn't stop laughing, brilliant ending! 😆😂🤣👏👏
Hey man, you just made me realize why sometimes I’m able to Ollie over obstacles and sometimes I’m not! Bc I would try and add more power to go higher by stomping
Yes.. Str8 Facts.. You have to learn how to Pop your board at a point in your jump when most of your weight is off the board. Also.. don't make the board " jump" bring it with your jump.. I know it sounds crazy.. but an older homie told me that.. once I understood it.. it helped. Basically bring the board up with you by popping and sliding your foot. Don't depend on your Pop to make the jump. LoL.. I just can't explain it.. but trust me.. it works.💯
This is great advice. When I first started learning to ollie I was getting a lot of hip pain because I was keeping my leg straight and trying to pop really hard. Seeing this earlier would have saved me skme grief.
Excellent tutorial. I've been skating 25 years or so, on and off, and it took me ages before I realised this. I've heard it explained that you should aim to be retracting your back foot, i.e. 'jumping' off it, BEFORE the tail hits the ground. Main thing is not to try to push the tail into the ground, but rather snap the tail and pull that back foot up as far and fast as you can. The front foot will tend to do its thing, but the advice to slide it up can be misleading too because if you do it too soon it will prevent the tail from snapping fully. For me the sliding/boning action of the front foot happens more or less automatically while I'm retracting my back foot, so experiment with adding the slightest delay to the front foot action if you really want to get your ollies high and snappy.
Ankle snap got it. I totally agree and I just realised this this week after less than a year back skating. So it makes a lot of sense of how those rocket Ollie just keep happening to me. Thanks .
lol i knew you were gonna roll away with that trainer on lol no shame. this is pretty well explained one other thing i think helps is to focus on lifting your back foot all the way up off the board before or as you are flicking. the higher that back leg is the more you can level the board and the higher you can ollie. makes sense if you think about it. how you gonna ollie 2 ft if your back foot only 1 ft off the ground. once i started thinking of ollies this way it made something click in my head and i could just focus on the snap/pop and the flick way more
Bro, that helped me so much. Seriously, thank you. My ollies this session were all so much more consistent and higher, something just clicked in my head after the first time I did that flick and now they are much nicer. I'm a 40 yeald dude who just got back skating last season after 20 years and I've watched so many trick tips an never seen this one.
thank you bro i finally realised my problem thanks to you, it would be cool if we could see more basics tutorials like shuvits and fs 180s 👍 love the video btw
Instructions unclear, I ended up with a board 6" deep in my stink hole and now have to put a rainbow emoji and pronouns in my instagram bio. Thanks Dan

thanks man, helps alot
hearing u explain the transfer of kinetic energy instead of brute force did wonders

Actually perfect explanation thank you
What a nice man giving us tips
Hey man, you just made me realize why sometimes I’m able to Ollie over obstacles and sometimes I’m not! Bc I would try and add more power to go higher by stomping
There is actually a very important Ollie tutorial by a channel called whythetrick that covers this in extreme depth
Hey, I appreciate that! I'll check it out for sure man👊🏼
Believe it or not, having to duct tape the hole on my front foot gave me more grip when I leveled it.
I choose... to believe!
Thats perfect! Thank you so much

Dude you seem like such a cool guy who really knows what's up and who's really chill into showing beginners how it's done, thank you so much.

OHH really well explained this makes a lot of sense now! Gonna try this out, as soon as my fracture heals 😅
Thanks that really helped. Ha ha, you funny. Greets from Germany :)
Zero or die!💀💀💀
🤘🏼
Just watched the outtake, funny asl 🤣🤣
Great, bro, thank you, for being humble!

It's all like Lightning McQueen said. I. Am. Speed. 😂
Well. Time to get my old ass back on the deck I think.
Get it! 🤘🏼
That made perfect sense to me. Thanks for the tip.

What if my back foot is up too much?
@@chengyanslc shouldn't be an issue if your timing is right and your front foot is kicking at the nose 🤘🏼
I'm a 40 year old skater from Waco, TX. I enjoyed hearing a southern accent in a skate tutorial. Nice change of pace, for real!
thank you bro i finally realised my problem thanks to you, it would be cool if we could see more basics tutorials like shuvits and fs 180s 👍 love the video btw
Thanks man this is great help, keep posting these videos appreciate it!
Makes total sense. Glad I found this as I'm a newbie skater trying to learn the tricks of the trade and I think this will help a lot. Thanks.
New sub! Where were you 30 years ago??? I stomped my board and never could ollie!!! And now that I can't even ride, it makes so much sense 🤦♂️
It's never too late
clearest explaination
good stuff man definitelt something I had started to figure out. Its good to see that you can "stomp" and get a decent ollie, but it isnt quite right.
Yeah, there's a much higher chance of hanging up. It's a bad habit that still pops up for me every now and then
Instructions unclear, I ended up with a board 6" deep in my stink hole and now have to put a rainbow emoji and pronouns in my instagram bio. Thanks Dan
And you're on the internet and not calling 911??? 😨😱
