what about 8? ;)
Oh hi there
Hello
Weak, Ollie over a car
Spencer no damn well he can do 10
Hi spencer :)
The hardest part is finding 7 other boards 😅
Just ask in your local skatepark, if you are good enough they’ll be happy for clips😇
😂😂😂😂😂
good one
Yes 😹😹😹
Ge
This might actually be the best ollie tutorial out there with spencer barton's. Thanks! Even after 5 years of skating it's always good to hear pro tips
Yeah, I see that Jonny is giving information that other people aren't really aware of. It's that analytical thinking that makes Jonny as good as he is. For sure.
VLskate too
Sean Brown's really helped me, that's a good one too
Check out David Lheto’s as well. He goes into great depth.
I’m nearly 39, i can still ollie 4 boards easy, 5 on a good day. I ollied 7 boards back when I was younger. I don’t have the best of Health. my body took a good beating over the years. Been skating again now for almost 2 years. Weekend sessions only, when I find the time. Happy with the progress. These tutorials make all the difference. Wish I had you tube 20-25 years ago. There basically wasn’t much to skate back in those day’s. So we skated flatground and streetspots a lot. That’s how my ollies got quite good fast. Can’t wait to hit the skateparks again.
Good for you! I am 39 now and I used to skate when I was 20~21, but I broke my color bone while I re-skated 5 years ago, and I cannot step on the board again. Wish I have the courage like you.
Dude that's so rad! I'm 32 and got back to skateboarding like 6 months ago after 5-6 years break and I'm doing alright. Keep rolling
Welcome back! I just started skating again less than a year ago. I skated from 11 to 14 yrs old then had to stop for basketball, picking it back up at 34.
Loving the Giger tutorials. It would have been amazing to have this kind of resource when I was younger, although figuring out a trick for yourself is incredibly rewarding as well.
I have a feeling many of our generation are having this itch again to start skating. I am 36, skated between my 14 and 25. Stopped skating because my knees were really bad and becoming parent. 11 years later and having a knee surgery a few years ago i bought a new setup. Biggest issue is i am a major pussy now, but i have fun again.
@@thierry-cannot-aim Yeah, I'm 33 and when I watch his videos, it reminds me how much fun skating was (I skated when I was 18-20), but in my country skateboarding is very frowned upon, and to see someone in his 30's skating is "pure blasphemy" :P Not to mention that there aren't many skaters now as there were back then.
I can ollie over 8 boards. Flat, on top of each other.... With the wheels and trucks removed...and no grip tape on them.
The dream 🥺
🤣😆🤣
Same. I've ollied 8 before too.. with the trucks and wheels removed.. and then put through a wood chipper.. and then burned into ashes. Almost did 9.
pffff big deal i can do it with the grip taps
I can ollie over 8 grip tapes... not tryna flex thou ;)
Biggest lightbulb moment for me learning to ollie recently was that in order to pop, you actually have to bounce the board off the ground. Practicing popping the tail down and picking up the board is almost like the first step.
When I first tried them. I learned to get the board off the ground like 5in without popping. So when I learned you actually have to bounce to board. I got a 12in ollie in like 2hr.
@@canonryanestes1134 nicc
Good point
This and JUMP. Pop the board down hard then jump as high as you can. Of course this sounds so much easier than it is, but once you process it you can get some really good height. Same with kickflips (and everything else) as well.
Hi person reading this, don't quit skating! It may be hard, but it was 6 months of skating every single day from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm for me to learn how to ollie. I've been skating for about a year and a half now, and can already tre flip! Never ever ever give up! Keep trying, and you will become amazing! Keep pushing, I will if you will, Goodbye, and go conquer your dreams!
How in the fuck do you have that free time
@@ryanderangedmanclason8247 Lol it was summer break 😂😂😂
dude that's a lot of practice. a bit too much. rest ffs 😂
anyway, I learned to ollie over a board in 3 weeks with 1-2 hours session per day (most of the session was gossiping about games lol). if you follow the tips in the video, don't forget to not push too hard (don't bruteforce your way into a trick. break it down and start small. understand the physics and how it feels. try. analyze. retry), have fun and rest (have good night sleeps. let your mind and body assimilate). You will progress well. If you are too tired, stop! Most injuries happen when your mind and body are too fatigue and your reaction time has dropped significantly.
When you really think about it. Jonny gets paid to wear shoes on his hands & that's kinda bad ass.
hahaha
@@JonnyGiger you have to do a video with Rodney Mullen
Lmao not even Mike Rowe could get through the 10 min educational hand shoe work day
@@jakehofman6443 I think you mean rotney mullen
And has his hat backwards. What’s next pants as a shirt!?
“Good things take their time” is a great phrase.
Once you've got the basics of the ollie down. Pop and lift your back foot as high as possible. Get it right up there like you going to knee yourself in the chin!! The front foot will naturally do its thing once the muscle memory is there.
this is the hardest shit for me, my front foot comes up super high but then my back leg just flops back onto the board
Bro it’s strange how helpful that was lol
@@commentcontrol7187 Maybe try pushing your front foot forward a bit more as you pop. So front foot forward and back foot as high as you can. when the timing is right the board just snaps up and sticks to your feet. Practice practice and never give up. The reward from skateboarding is unparalleled.
@@coopershort4830 haha nice man.
@@rob_erto oh I got ollies now don't worry I just had to figure out my weight distribution. I fucking HATE shuvits tho like they're impossible, I'm closer to heelflips than to shuvits
I haven't been able to Ollie for weeks and now I can Ollie almost 2 boards high :O tysm
I think a lot of people (including me) try to improve and also look for tutorials likes this during quarantine :) So this helps a lot and keeps us all entertained
good to know :) i will try my best to keep them trick tips coming
Shows you how to ollie:
*ollies 15 meters in the air*
Me: um, ok
JONNY: ollies over 7 boards
ME: gets popcicled trying to ollie over 2
Jonny: skates 8 hours a day for 10 years
You: doesn't skate 8 hours a day for 10 years
Two boards is a decent Ollie :)
It’s kinda easy once u get that flick with ur feet and u actually hop and commit to it
@@NefariousPorpoise definently but i do ski 6 hours a day for the past 5 years
Stephen Anthony
Then you can most probably ski better than Jonny.
The point is that putting in the work and time is what makes someone good in something.
It's only logical that Jonny is better than you, because of all the practice he did.
Johnny Giger, you biscuit eater. You single handedly grew my ollie by seven sizes just with your tip at 0:58. I'd forever been popping with my big toe joint in the center of the tail and by turning and putting my toe there like you suggested, my board is now stuck to my feet. I feel like there are suction cups on the bottom of my shoes. I GOT POWER WITH THIS POP
Thank you, sir
Skate School Jonny Giger is my favorite technical wizard going back to the basics the foundation of skating. ❤🍫🇨🇭 I love Sweden!
I learned to Ollie 20 centimeters last week. I did it EXACTLY the way he explained. No other tutorial is so good. You’re amazing
Great advice. Most tricks that I learned during my career happened at night while sleeping or when falling asleep.
Honestly man, the tips on foot placement and weight distribution at around 3:50 are so underrated.
For a good minute I've been wondering why I'd have to immediately step off the board forward or backward and now I know.
Thanks, Jonny!
Started skateboarding somewhere October 2021 to be an inspiration to my son to try new things. Been trying to ollie with very little success!
My ollies won't lift off! And they either ended up behind me or in front of me! With support like my sofa, my body jumps higher and leaves the board on the floor 🤣 🤣
I just finished watching the part of the tutorial and decided to try it with my running sneakers (RIP to the front side though 😭)
TWO KICKS!! TWO KICKS is all I did and I'm popping!!!
Now have to incorporate in my movement
THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!
I'm over 60 something years old and have been skateboarding over 50 years. I could do low Ollies in the 80's and tried to relearn them in 2020. I practiced everyday while holding onto a chest high rail for about half an hour for about a month. All l accomplished was getting tennis elbow pains from holding the rail and Ollieing. I gave up trying. Now it is June 2023 and I still don't do them, but I did have a great Go Skate day at Kohala, Hawaii with over 100 skaters rolling down the closed main highway for about a mile to the roots Skateboard park for the Big islands once a year Skate , bike event.
Hey Jonny Geiger! That last Ollie was in the freaking stratosphere! Thank you! Ride ride ride!
thanks
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😭😭😭😭😭🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘Another piece of evidence why Jonny is the Top of technical street skating!!!!!!!!!!😎😎😎😎
One of my happiest memories.
Me, 14 at skateboard camp.
Last day of camp: board Ollie contest.
I did 5, almost 6 but never pulled it off.
7 is impressive indeed.
When I was learning to skate I wish I had access to you on the internet.
It took me about 3 months to ollie practicing an hour a day. Finally got it though! Never give up.
thank you jonny i've been focusing on my ollie during this quarantine this video was great timing
welcome friend :)
This helps so much, because my ollies look like 5:11, so now I know why
glad this is helping you :) keep working on it! :D
@@JonnyGiger 8:21 I have always found, as you did here, that lifting your back foot up high at the peak of your ollie gives you a little extra height 👍 would you agree? 😊
Hey! I am not a skatboarder anymore, but started doing some basic flatland skatboarding due to the quarantine after 20 years of absence. The most I’ve ever managed to jump over was 5 decks. Landed on the bolts, but broke my board. Which was less then a week old. 😢 I was so pissed. At that time I was still in high school and buying a new deck wasn’t cheap. To this day I don’t understand what went wrong. I never again tried jumping over more than 4 decks. 😬
A big lightbulb moment for getting my ollies to improve was focus more on bringing my front foot up rather than forward. I would always worry about my board not leveling out so I thought I had to push my foot forward but dragging more up helps the board level better and once its level then push forward. Catching the board in the pocket with your front foot also happens much more naturally when you drag your foot more vertically which helps control the board a lot better + you drag your board up and ollie higher. For me this was the final thing to tie my ollie together.
It took me about 6 weeks to get my ollies to a point where I felt like I could do them properly and each time there was major improvement came from a big lightbulb moment in each step so don't get discouraged when you think you figured it out just to encounter another problem. Don't be scared to try ollies up and down different things as well it will give you a sense of accomplishment and help you focus on different movements in the ollie.
Awesome tutorial! I've been covering the tail with my back foot WAY too much. I thought the ball of the foot needed to be at the center of the tail; thought it'd make the pop more stable(?) looks like I need to be placing it a bit farther back so that the TOES are lined up with the middle :/ I'll have to try this next time:] Thanks JonnyG!/|\
You have a great teaching pqce and voice. Vwry calm and clear. Very good teaching. Thank you.
Back-foot position helped me a lot. Thank you!
I literally was taught wrong all my life haha. I might pick up skating again and try Jonny's technique.
I been watching giger for years now and I gotta say, probably for sure top 3 skaters ever and I’ve been around for 20 years skating. I’ve seen all the old videos, a lot of new ones and no one is doing what this man is doing. The best skaters would never make a Rodney Mullen imitation video because no one can do what that man does. Everyone’s worried about everything else and giger is keeping it simple but impossible at the same time! How does he do that?? Lol. Huge fan from Chicago! Keep posting man!! Thank you for the content!
Hey Jonny, im new on your channel, i skated for 2-3 years and stopped when i was 17 years old because i was going to university. Now at 25years old, going back to skate and saw your videos are really helping me out. Thank you so much !
There are a lot of great tricks out there, but not many that look as good as a really popped ollie! Jonny has a nice one!
After having landed my last kickflip 10 years ago, you my friend have shown me that skating is fun again.
Seeing you land tricks despite expressing a fear of big ramps really helped.
I never could skate the bowl like my buddy's and that demotivated me as a teenager, I realise now that I shouldn't have cared and just skate how I want.
Thanks Jonny.
Jonny is spot on regarding your subconscious “digesting” the trick when you sleep!
It's more about your muscles "digesting" the information. Less about your subconscious.
Patrick O'Donnell absolutely my friend!
@@Dontbustthecrust Muscles? more like the autonomous nervous system. Muscles can't think or digest information other than 'do this' y'know.
I’m a PT, so I know what I’m talking about, it’s not the subconscious or autonomous nerviosa system or your muscles is your MOTOR CORTEX, there are three parts of your motor cortex, one of them is responsable for “saving the file” and remembering how you move and do it automatically, that’s why it takes a lot of time to master something, first takes a lot of neurons and energy to do it consciously but once it’s saved in the supplementary motor cortex is like nothing even with your eyes closed, your muscles have memory to the kind of exercise you do for example if you skate a lot you have a lot of power in a single move for example Ollie 7 boards but you can’t do a marathon because your muscles weren’t built to do that.
@@juan131097 yes! Thank you!
Best ollie tutorial. My foot position was bad and I didn't slide up and down with my front foot, so my ollies were very low (only 1-2 inches). However after watching this video I fixed my foot position and tried the tips you showed and I got almost half a foot! Thank you for the tips!
Jonny best teacher. I like braille a lot but you understand physics better. 10/10 for me personally. I need more physics stuff like this to learn.
Awesome!! Could you do a tutorial how to kickflip ? Please :)
diegoveloper he’s done a bunch of kick flip videos search up johnny giver kickflip
Heelflip please
maybe i'm gonna do one soon :)
THE ONE THING THAT HELPED. ME: lookup aaron kyro’s frontside 180 tutorial. in there he explained the pop from extending your foot from the ankle. a lot of people jump off the ground mid pop. this is wrong as you should jump off the board and extend your foot down, popping the board up, at the very last moment before you jump off the board. i used to pop and jump off the tail while my tail was touching the ground. it feels very sequential: jump off the board, then extend your back foot toes down causing the tail to pop
THANK U !!!!! the problem i have is that my foot stays on the tail a little too long so it doesn’t leave
When I was about 9 years old me and my friend were messing around for the first time... we were trying to Ollie. After about 100 tries I suddenly nailed the timing just right... I flew up like 10 inches!
Best ollie I ever did! Haven’t Ollied since...
Man thank you for explaining that you have to jump when you pop !! To many people teaching these videos leave that factor out leaving people to think they are doing something wrong becuz they are trying to pop and slide with no jump and nothing happen!! You and Kyro legit the only ones I’ve seen mention the jumping factor!!!
i was trying to ollie and didn't know what I was doing wrong, i had my balance and front foot placement right just didn't get enough pop, this video p much helped me and I had my foot placement not at the edge the way you have it. I tried it and it gave me a big ol pop and Im v happy I can do an ollie now. Thanks
I just started yesturday and I can Ollie 7boards now! Thanks Jonny!
Omw jonny I literally fractured my ankle ollieing over 4 boards couldn't you come out with this sooner😭😭😭💔
Sounds painful dude, get well soon!
I’ve never heard someone say not to put the back foot all the way on like that, I’m definitely changing my foot stance and trying this out! Much appreciated Jonny!
I have struggled with a weak ollie for a long time this is by far the best tutorial. I think it's my foot positioning that is the problem. I'm going to adjust my back foot to the middle of the tail and improve all my skating.
Why would anybody thumb down this video? This guy is a legend! Thanks for the video J
Jonny we need more trick tips like this! Start tutorial videos on everything from basics up to advanced tricks plz
Literally a legend of pop teaching the world. Giger, I can get some decent height but it comes with a sacrifice... when ever I go for higher pop, I turn frontside almost 90 degrees.
Keep your upper body aligned w the board, learn to keep your body sideways, even though you'll naturally start to turn to keep you from falling
At the height of my skill I couldn’t break 5 on flat. Seven is nuts. Nice job. For me, Ollie’s UP stuff was how I started, at first into grass on my driveway up a slanted curb. One can also try Ollie’s over arbitrary chalk marks on the ground for the lowest level of difficulty. Finally, make sure you have a bit of speed. Not tons at first, but not creeping along either.
This is amazing Jonny I love seeing a master of a skill such as yourself sharing the very basic building blocks of their skill with such grace, thanks man!
Man! Definitely brought back good memories when I seen this video, in 2003 or so just a couple years into skating ( as a 7th grade skid hoodlum!) when I did a 7 deck Ollie as well! Just 1 time though, but good enough! Still can't believe it happened even to this day! Great video man thanks! 👍
Cheers buddy! Much appreciated. Crazy, I’ve been skating for a little while and hadn’t noticed my back foot a bit more over center and can’t wait to try this foot position/ stoked to gain height!
That is the episode I really need! I have been wondering how to work on my ollies for quite some time
Great tip! Finally ollied up a curb today!
Just now getting my ollie consistent and good, using this video to help clean them up and get a little more off the ground.
I spoke to my friend about ollie'ing a manny pad and saw you uploaded this video! Fantastic timing!
Siiiiiick. For my ollie tutorial, I ollied over a regular-sized chair. But I think 7 boards is probably a little higher
I did waist high ollies over objects as a youngster which is about 7 decks. I remember when trying to ollie really high I didn't think about the ollie technique anymore, I was too busy jumping to get the height.
Just learned how to Ollie in 2 days. Thanks
@Johnny, you've got one of the best channels around, bro!
you notice the 596 likes and 0 dislikes, thats because it's just great content.
Razzer_Thorben 100%🔥
Best way to explain the olie is, you start jumping off the board, just before your feet leave the bored, you hit the back tail and lift it up with you by dragging your front foot up, in which case, the board will fallow you up. The higher you want to olie, you may want to put your front foot farther back to the center or closer to the back of the board so you have more space to drag that front foot up, and lift the board up as you raise your legs to clear more height
If I would have had these video years ago when I was learning to ollie.... That first 5 minutes is golden
Great video! I am 43 and will not start skating again after an almost 30 years break...btw I could not jump that high without a board:-) But I still enjoy watching skatevideos!
Your slowmo helped me figure out my timing for higher ollies 💕 i used to pop too close to the obstacle and i thought it was because i couldn't ollie high fast enough 🥺🥺
This is what really helped me. Find a surface that dosent roll(grass or carpet), and a place where you can hold onto something while standing up. In my case I held onto the foot of my bed frame and kept doing ollies until I could ollie up to the height of my bed while keeping the board steady under me.
I gave up on trying to ollie with my crooked feet but maybe I'll give it another shot, thanks for the tips !
wym crooked feet
@@Flammable Just that my feet are kinda weird, I already twisted an ankle like 5 times and not even once at skating !
My problem is that I can do it while holding onto a bar or something ( tried with shopping cart xD), but when I try to do it while moving or even when still it doesn't want to come out.
@@bingolingo1620 need to push more and not ollie then ollie
Great skateboarder... even better teacher! Tks for the tips.
So close to getting my Ollie consistent, this video was right in time!
Johny this video has helped me to take a deep breath, and wonder why it was so hard to make Ollies while moving... When you say, "If you feel comfortable with this position, DON'T do it"... Guess what! Haha that helped me a lot with the balance, and figured out the whip movement of the leg to the toes! Now I feel more at jumping ! Thanks a lot bro! Saludos desde Chile! 🇨🇱
just wanna say that your thumbnail game is really strong, especially compared to other 'how to' skateboard channels! makes me wanna watch your videos every time! :D
the ollie is definitely the runner up when it comes to skateboarding learning curves. the winner being kickflips
Jonny, thank you for this video. I love to watch your more advanced videos for entertainment and inspiration but as a beginner I really appreciate this in depth video about such a basic, foundational technique.
Cheers
Really good video, I could Ollie before but after this I could Ollie ALOT HIGHER 10/10
Thank you for being a really good teatcher. Its pretty cool that i can have great skaters like you teach me some of your techniques, and all accecable free, what a great dude you are.
This video was way more than expected ;D
100% one of the best flat ground skaters around !!
me trajo recuerdos , el palo de escoba , el primer intento de ollie jaja , luego una tabla , dos , etc. hasta colocamos un cono de via publica , great channel.
Just got a new board, so now Im going to try this in my garden while stuck at home, thanks Jonny 😊
Same tho Quarantine Skating xD
thanks giger!.
That is a mighty ollie mate awesomesness!. It was ollie'ing over a car radiator that ended boarding for me, landed on the board end up in a mighty gooch slashing, almost severing my whole life in two....too much pain for me i'm out.
you are an excellent teacher
I love how you challenge yourself constantly even though you have accomplished a lot you still find a way to challenge yourself. 👏👏👏
Awesome vid Jonny... as are all your others, especially from the POV of an older skater (i.e. myself) who can appreciate the tech wizardry of Rodney - which you are doing an awesome job of replicating! I'm now 45 and about to embark on a hammer programme of trying to regain some of my former steez and I think I'll need to retrain my ollie some (!!) so this video is perfect. Needless to say I'll be wearing baggy jeans and éS Schemes while I practice just to keep it OG... the '90s live on!! ✌😁 ❤
That video will help me get back to skateboarding
I've been skating since 1995, and that back foot position looks crazy to me. 😄 Gonna have to try that.
Your videos help so much thank you, your the best
Man i love these videos. Back in the days i couldnt skate for shit, in like 3 sessions (last i skated was probably 10 years ago) i've learnt some boneless variations, ollie better, drop in, pump, and this last weekend finally rock to fakie. I never felt like i skated before, but just learning to pump in a medium size ramp listening to some sweet punkrock and just ride, thats such a great feeling.
jonny is the smartest skater going
Nice!
One tip it seems is often overlooked is tucking your knees up! That stumbled me so much, so many times if I didn't land a trick it was because I wasn't tucking enough. Practice jumping and tucking them up to your chest like you see Jonny doing here at 7 boards (if you have a trampoline it's easier).
The best I ever got was 6 boards, but that was over 15 years ago.
Recently I've found that my height is determined by how quickly my body initiates the ollie.
Instead of rolling in squatted, make the squat and jump part of the same motion, like a trampoline, and then practice your tuck jump, develop those quick twitch muscles.
my uncle did that in the early 90s in the philippines his homeland. he has like 5 witnesses and he ollied over 7 boards and he did that 3 times in a row to make sure it’s clean. his knees wer hitting his chin from how high he jumped, but also the boards he had in the philippines wer flat boards completely flat but all he had as a Kicktail and his front truck he put his hardware upside down so he can hook on like a nose. he ollied 7 boards high exactly like in this video except that was 30 years ago. he did that around 91 92.
Thank you for your videos, I feel like they help so much, you're videos inspire me to keep trying
Most excellent my man, very informative
Very informative thank you. One of the issues im having is getting the pop. Hopefully I can work on that.
2020 i learned how to ollie. Im going to learn to ollie 2 boards next spring.
