I'll try keep up with your questions in the comments, you can also message me on instagram @phoenixjtwilliams and ask for help with the trick! :) *Edit: Just replied to probably 100+ comments, have a look through the latest comments, I've been replying to each to try fix common problems.*
Tran Doonzyy Yo, I’m sure you can learn if you keep at it! Try just pushing the board down with both fingers before you pop so it snaps up harder and less finger strength is needed :)
Every other video says “just slam your finger down and slide up” you actually demonstrated so I’m practicing now. It’s a lot easier and I’m sure I’ll figure it out soon
@@idle8488 ive got it pretty close in a day. depends how much you practice and everyones different and learns at a different pace so you never know until you try.
Mine are small too. Another way to learn ollies is to ride up to the top of the vertical side of your desk, pop the Ollie and try landing on the flat desk. It helps Levelling out.
If you are having trouble with the pop portion: 1. Practice on something soft like your bed (helped me) I don’t know why but it makes it easier 2. Practice popping off the side of a book, with your tail hanging off the back and your back trucks on the book. Then Ollie onto that book. It is a lot easier
being straight up i cant believe just the 2 trick helped me literally this is how most people should do a tutorial give you tricks to do that slowly build your muscle memory
Thank you so much! I have tried to ollie for hours and never made it off the ground. No one else said to rotate your finger when you pop and now I can get it to actually pop!
I've been searching up guides forever and this one helped a lot!! all the other guides are like"just slide your finger and yould get it". this helped so much thank you!!
this is the most helpful video ive seen for an ollie! everything else is just "pop it and slide your fingers" but you actually show how! Now i can finally learn a kick flip after this
I watched this 3 years and learned from you thanks for teaching me I now have them super smooth and on lock I’m passing on the tradition and teaching my friend how to fingerboard he’s really enjoying it
Thanks this is really helpful yesterday I tried all day looking at other videos but today I only looked at yours and learned it just under 2 hour thank you a lot
Also I can send some of my attempts so you can go off those and help me get my Ollie a lot higher because right now it is super low and I can't do any flips when it's this low
@ Trevor Martin try to use stuff like two books so you can learn to try and jump i Reyes this and it took me 2 weeks! (I know that’s a long time) but try and if it’s not working just keep trying! Trust me it works Thanks
@@trevormartin6285 if you're still having trouble with ollies, DM @kinkrail on instagram. There's a very simple tip that makes ollie-ing a lot more easier.
Bro I watched 16 other tutorials and none of them helped. Then I found you and I almost had a perfect Ollie by the end. This guy deserves a like and sub. Good job❤
Yo Thanks man for the Tutorial. After warching i didnt get it but after like 1 Hour i got it and jumped over pencils and stuff. Now I can do it pretty good. Thanks for the great Tutorial
Jeff Chocolate Alright so this comment is old so you probably already learned the ollie but im just answering this for others. Try doing an ollie on an angle like on a ramp or bank.
the landing on the nose trick actually works the best from any other ones that people told me to do i can still only do a small ollie but its getting better
so what i found that helped, when you do the first pop the tail you move the board back a little bit very fast until it barely lays on your fingers and then you have control of the board, it looks good and it works for doing other tricks that require an ollie
Holy shiz, the leg suggestion was gaming changing, now I can do it off the edge of a desk, it's like biking but with training wheels. Can't wait til I get this, thanks, it's mindless and nice to do this during and in between work and art
Damn can you actually double tre? I can only do a single. Have a look through the latest comments, I've been replying to each to try fix common problems
Ikr I tried to do an Ollie ( for the first time) also me tho does an 360 kick flip then lands it while my cousin is in shock cuz I said I was trying a ollie
I just can’t get it higher than just the back going up then it landing on the nose on flat ground when I pop. And yes I’ve tried all of the techniques you listed I just can’t get the back off the ground.
I had the exact same problem for ages! My hand would just seize up instead of popping! This is purely a mental block so try these to work around it: - Try do an ollie motion while keeping your hand as limp and floppy as possible, slowly add more pressure. - Try rolling back and popping the tail down without worrying about the rest of the trick yet, let the board roll back upside down onto your hand. - Practice the finger motion on a table without the fingerboard first, then the same thing on the board. - Don't push down so hard before the trick.
You explained it really well! But I have a question. I have the muscle memory of trying to flip the board so when ever I try to pop the tail a little harder it flips
Thanks! If you want to keep it under control when popping harder I'd say try keep your back finger flat as possible and centred in the middle. Also u can check my latest kickflip tutorial if u want to get the flips down right :)
Bro, I wasn’t even listening to the video and then I was trying to do an Ollie and I just ended up doing it so your videos are kind of good luck. Also the video did help
Hey can U please reply? U helped me the most with yout tutorial but I have a question,how do i drag my finger up on the board easier? I have a 9.66cm board
this is underrated af. i loved this tutorial! also it'd be cool if anyone told me how long it took you to learn how to ollie? its being kindda hard for me to learn rn. (but still this tutorial helped A LOT!) so i just wanna know if its normal.
How long did it take yall to ollie a fingerboard. It took me round 5 months to ollie a real skateboard and im not tryna spend another 5 months on a fingerboard
I cannot get the board to pop up, unlike most tutorials, your actually kinda makes sense I just cannot do it. I tried it 8n a vertical surface but it just fell out my hands and to the floor, please help. The only way I could get it to not fall off my hand is to use my thumb under its but that's kinda cheating
thank you you explain it way better then eny won els and ik im 2 years late for this but i gust got in to finger bording and i realy want to know how to do this bur the thing im haveing truble with is getting it in to the air i just cabt do it

I can’t get my tech deck to go off the table and When I try it doesn’t olllie
It’s either I am really bad at it or I’m doing something wrong
I can do an Ollie but only like an inch off the ground standing still this help me improve thanks
Phoenix's World probably won’t reply but my fingers are to small by the way so I can’t get to the nose do a updated tutorial for small fingeres
Tran Doonzyy Yo, I’m sure you can learn if you keep at it! Try just pushing the board down with both fingers before you pop so it snaps up harder and less finger strength is needed :)
Phoenix's World no way I I did it thank you
Wow, you don't understand how many RUclips videos I've watched trying to learn this trick... this is by far the best one yet! Thank you!!
Ikr
My son is trying to teach me how to Ollie on a fingerboard and this video is hands down the best! Thank you! I may actually learn it.

Have u done it yet?
Are you a god now lmao
@ScxtheeVFX how long it took
@ScxtheeVFX how long did it take to do it? I’m getting a tech deck this Wednesday and I want to know how long it might take me.
@@idle8488 ive got it pretty close in a day. depends how much you practice and everyones different and learns at a different pace so you never know until you try.
This is really hard because I have small hands and fingers but you explain it so much better than anyone else, thanks!
Same I have small fingers
Ikr I thought mine were big
Same 😭 😿
Mine are small too. Another way to learn ollies is to ride up to the top of the vertical side of your desk, pop the Ollie and try landing on the flat desk. It helps Levelling out.
This is hard for me because I am bad at everything
If you are having trouble with the pop portion:
1. Practice on something soft like your bed (helped me) I don’t know why but it makes it easier
2. Practice popping off the side of a book, with your tail hanging off the back and your back trucks on the book. Then Ollie onto that book. It is a lot easier

Wow
How do I get it in the air
dude you seriously taught me how to ollie, i already knew how to pop too. Now i can go over the book lol. Thank you!!

HOW
These tips are really good! I just have a question, can you still Ollie if your fingers aren’t that strong?? To get a powerful pop?
THE PRACTICING ON A VERTICAL SURFACE WAS SUCH A GOOD TIP IT REALLY HELPED ME TYSM

Doing an Ollie is not something you can just learn, you need to just try whatever works for you or just pick it up along the way
Very good point. Sometimes you invent your own little techniques
Thank you so much! This really help me out. Thx bro
Greatly explained and helped a lot! Thanks
This is the best tutorial I have found yet
Love the vid in this was so helpful it's just that I think I'm 11 and I think I need longer fingers and more finger strength
im 11 rn and i cant do it because my fingers hurt and then they srent long enough lol
I'm 11 and i not strong enough...😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 our probs 13 or 14 now @@aqri4n
i just got it on 2 step you explain really well and no sarcasm
I can pop the board but it’s still really hard to get off the ground are there any other tricks and tips?
Yea

Thank you I'm slowly getting better for advice try it on an shock absorbant surface like a bed to get the movement down
I cant do any of it i am having trouble with everything
Prince-E same
Ngl this actually helped me in real skating for some reason, thanks!
Every time when I do it the back wheel doesn’t come off the ground also how do u pop it and slide ur finger up at the same time
exactly thats the hard part
It’s getting me so fucking angry
No one teaches that part like no one
this honestly really helped me. i knew how to ollie before but the tips helped me ollie higher. this was the only video that helped me a lot
Thanks so much for the comment! Glad to help, I've had to re learn ollies before
Can someone help when I ollie I get a good pop and my board just leaves my fingers and falls idk what to do
Your trying to do it to high start low then progress higher
Okay thanks
so what i found that helped, when you do the first pop the tail you move the board back a little bit very fast until it barely lays on your fingers and then you have control of the board, it looks good and it works for doing other tricks that require an ollie
U got me my first ollie!!! Thank you soo much you earn’t a sub from me great job keep up the great work 👍
I just wanted to let u know to help you in the long run. It's earned. Sorry if I offended you.
The breakdown was fantastic! Thank you so much!
This video helped so much I couldn’t land one Ollie before, but know because of this video I’ve landed three already! Thanks!
Holy shiz, the leg suggestion was gaming changing, now I can do it off the edge of a desk, it's like biking but with training wheels. Can't wait til I get this, thanks, it's mindless and nice to do this during and in between work and art
Me: can double tre on a real board
Also me: can’t keep my fingers on the board when I pop
Damn can you actually double tre? I can only do a single. Have a look through the latest comments, I've been replying to each to try fix common problems
This is the best video of all the ones i watched thank you!
This was very helpful! Thanks so much. You helped a lot more than other bigger channels I looked at!
my fingers are to small!!! LOL!! I can get it in the air a bit not a lot though. 😁👌
I'm an old person and I found this video helpful. Thank you.
me: **cant do ollie**
also me: **tried ollie and instead does a finger flip impossible and lands it**
a tip i have for ollies is once you get it down on a small object think of doing it on that object on flat and you got yourself an ollie

That's a really cool board. What kind is it?
I can't find the actual tech deck online but the graphic is the Paul Rodriguez Samurai deck by Primitive skateboards.
I still can’t ollie. I always
just do a tre flip😐
maybe try keep your fingers flatter
@@PhoenixsWorldVideos ok thx! i can ollie better now!
Yo thanks for the help and also what tech deck is that if you don’t mind me asking.
whenever I try to ollie all my hands do is freeze up and shake do you know how to stop this?
Do you have any medical conditions? (No offence)

I had the exact same problem for ages! My hand would just seize up instead of popping!

fingerboarding is hard, if you dont know what you are doing of course.. but that feeling when you can do it is actually so good!
I didn’t really help me but thanks for the tutorial I’m sure others found it easy 👍

Try pop the tail down then immediately slap the nose down. If you keep doing it you'll start to get both sets of wheels in the air at once.

It’s been 5 years and I still can’t Ollie.
Damn bro. You might learn real skateboarding easier haha
Thanks for the in-depth explanation about how to do it since all the other tutorials just tell you to pop the back and move your finger forward!
