You're improving super fast, man! I love that I found your channel. The only thing I can say is you want your knees to look how they do at the start of your Ollie when you're at the peak of your Ollie as well. The maximum height of your Ollie comes from how far you can tuck your knees up into your chest when you're in the air. (Not necessarily from how high you jump)
Nice video! Here are some tips: The closer your feet are, the more space your front foot has to slide, that means the ollie will be higher. At start it can feel weird but it´s necessary for higher ollie! At the point where your are u should start rolling when doing ollie´s as you said. After you will get the hang of doing ollie while moving move to jumping over some crack in the ground just to get the timing right and over all the feel of it. Then jump over some small stick (the stick will move if you do it wrong, curb won´t). And after you feel comfortable move to jumping from small curb and then on a small curb or vice versa😉
That's great progress! I have two tips for you. First, your back foot is still on the tail when the tail touches the ground during the pop. This traps the tail against the ground and limits how high the tail can come up. Think about it like a basketball: when you bounce a basketball, you don't want your hand to still be in contact with the ball when the ball hits the ground. Same concept here. The "pop" of an ollie should bounce the tail off the ground -- which means your back foot needs to have already left the board by the time the tail hits the ground. Second, the timing is usually easier to figure out if you don't squat so low at the start of the ollie. Your form while squatting is excellent, and for really high ollies you'll have to squat that low, but try squatting about half as deep as you are in this video and see if that helps you figure out the pop and timing a little more easily.
yeah i dont know why but i have this weird habit before i pop any trick or even an ollie where i kinda do a little hop and foot shuffle into position while im crouching down. Feels like i'm just flowing on a rolling trampoline and i don't have to try so hard to get pop.
Great progression. Lots of people (including me) find it easier to ollie while rolling. A bit scarier i guess but not really more dangerous. Keep up the good work.
Daaaammmnnn your ollie progression is awesome!!! Hey man don't forget to warm up those legs tho, can tire out quickly and get you sore the next day 😄👍🏼
Bro nice progress!!! Just try to watch other people do ollies and swing your arms upwards when you jump so you have more upward force when you tuck your knees in. Practise makes perfect
Unreal how quickly your Ollie progressed it's looking awesome and it's one of the harder steps in the skateboarding skill curve for a lot of people 🎉🎉
Thanks a ton!

Thanks, will work on bringing my knees up

Thanks, and great way to explain it with the basketball analogy
Now don’t try to so hard to get it up and watch what happens. The more you relaxe the more it’s gonna stay glued to your feet.

Hey man, progression is crazy. Remember me when you get famous 😃
Thank you!!
