@@andrewmanzano4792that means every trick is technically called an Ollie etc.. really aside from pressure flips, anything you need to pop to do, should technically be attributed to the Ollie… Then the kick flip if it’s any flip trick.. And so on and so forth.. What’s crazy, is unlike most sports, usually it’s a lot of different people who level up, like from kick flip to heel flip, to Millie, to takis, switch, to varial, tre.. etc.. But no. It was one person. Rodney Mullen. All flip tricks and variations can be attributed to him, and tbh if Ollie never invented the Ollie.. Rodney Mullen most likely would’ve..

something i never hear anyone but me point out is that; when you pop the board, your back foot should shove behind you so the board gets just a little bit less momentum than your body, which will help the friction of the board stay in contact with your front foot and give a really good bone-out feel

This. I am still learning proper ollies and that tiny little “roll back” seems to be the key. I could never put it into words. Thanks.

​@@caesurabreak3528it's important to pop "backwards" a tiny bit, as this motion helps counteract the forwards slide that moves your board more out in front of you. If that happens, your board feels less connected to you, and you're naturally going to have lower Ollie's since you can't properly stay over your board or level it out nice enough or simply use that slide to get your Ollie a tad higher

Ive always felt like it's a bit of a 'scoop'

Jonny you start at Step 1: pop, but step 1 should be: jump first, when your weight is off the deck and your back foot starts to leave the tail, then pop by pushing your toes to the ground using the rear ankle. I see so many beginners try to pop while still standing on the board, which is useless. Let me know what you think?

@maxjarvela4255

This is correct. I had so much trouble learning to ollie until I got this clarified.

One thing I noticed that makes my Ollie's a lot cleaner is that there is a slight roll forward before you pop your board. It helps quite a lot for some reason to do that little wind up for me at least.

@stpedro-ht9ng

It’s because you push the board forward the direction you’re rolling when you pop an Ollie. That’s what makes it scary to beginners. Feels like you’ll slip out backwards

@@stpedro-ht9ng so as far as body mechanics and skateboard physics you think I'm on the right track to making my Ollie's better? Cuz some people say that it's better to pop back if you know what I mean but I'm still learning so I'm not so sure.

@@superiorlongboards yup the right idea isn't really leaning back but having your back straightened out the whole way. It isn't leaning in either direction but it tends to feel like leaning back because your weight is usually on your front foot.

@@stpedro-ht9ng awesome appreciate the tips man!

Ollies are the foundation for nearly all tricks, including for snowboarding, surfing, kiteboarding and wing foiling. Thanks for explaining it in simple terms. This is an excellent video short.

Hardest step for newbs like me is the crucial step of committing to getting mint that back foot on without fear of rolling out. After riding for years and taking my share of spills… I’m finally getting closer and closer. I’ve been “skating” for years, but I’m barely getting interested in tricks. I’m comfy cruising but I’m still getting over that fear of being in the air and gambling my ankles 😂 by the end of this year I’ll have em down

@stpedro-ht9ng

Now the hardest thing is for years all I have known is Ollie variations so my back foot is TOO trained to never come off the board completely. Good luck to me learning flip tricks as I can never commit 😭

Day 3 of coming back to skating after 12 year hiatus the first day I landed a shuv it, kick flip, back side some manual and some Ollie’s since then I have built a manual pad ,grind rail and a bank 😂😂😂 I’m hooked again bad I almost got a 3 flip today and damn are my hamstrings sore

dont forget the position of your shoulders.. this took me soo long to understand why i cant do straight ollies while moving

definitely this. When I started, I couldn't figure out why my ollies would end with the nose turning about 45 degrees making me unable to ride out of it. Turns out I had a bad habit of my shoulders facing more in the direction I was rolling instead of being square with the board/my feet

Crazy to think all the subtle movements that come into play to perform a trick. And to see the pros do it with such ease is wild

I wish these videos existed 10 years ago. I would have been pro by now if they did! (haha). Thanks for the beautiful footage Jonny!!!

Another thing I noticed that instantly helped my get my tail off the ground is to flick down with your back ankle while you jump

Find a good coach. Somebody at the park who k ows what they are doing and can probably help you. Ask lots of people for help. Skate a lot. You'll figure it out. It's all technique. You need to pop and jump at the same time and stay over your skateboard. The sliding motion doesn't exactly make your board go "higher". Instead, the sliding motion actually levels your board out by bringing the tail in the air, so that you don't "rocket ship ollie". Stay over your board, and just pop hard and jump at the same time, and stay over your board. Do it a million times. Cheers mate. (Pop straight down, and keep the ball of your foot centered in the middle of the tail)

Thanks for your tips, I'm always learning something new

perfect🎉❤

I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and dope videos! Congratulations on your success and not giving up on your skateboard dreams!

i remember someone telling me to hold a pole & it helped

I keep my front foot toes an inch away from the edge of the board. Helps me pop straight out

The hand trick really helpled me grasp the timing better 🖤

Thank you bro your the one man That make me do ollie and its easy now G

Thats one of the best tutorials I have found yet, thanx

practicing the jump without the board is something i tried before this video but is genuinely the most helpful thing for me to learn the form lol

This is very helpful. I just started

Its just that I can't get my front foot to slide at the same time as I pop it

Thank you 🤍

This video helped me get a SMALL but first Ollie in a day

Ollie’ing by tapping the tip led me to bad habits that I later had to unlearn. I recommend against doing that. Learning to scoop the board when popping it, trying to get it as vertical as possible while keeping your back foot near the concave is better advice because it gives better control (and later when you learn tricks, it’ll be that much more simple to control the board, especially on rotational tricks). The placement of my front foot determines how high, much spin, or rotation I get, but my back foot basically stays in the same spot around the concave. Also, be aware if youre making the board lean forward or backward, it should be as flat as possible when you pop it, think of it as if there were water on it and you wanted to keep it as level as possible to not let any of the water spill. Lots of beginners lean forward/backward because their balance is off, especially when they pop because they do not go straight up and down and tend to lean forward and distribute their weight over their toes which makes their board lean forward and causes flat as pops or the board to turn when they pop it.

Holy shit tysm

U just helped me land my first Ollie ❤

thankyou u helped me do my first real ollie

Thank you so much

Doing your first ollie is like going super saiyan for the first time.

This makes hella sense

Thanks😊

Tysm

if u have trouble to pop, just pop sideways it helps

I keep both of my feet in the center, helps me level out more and not tear my laces

The biggest thing I had to learn was "your back foot doesn't touch the board when the tail pops off the ground"

I have wachet 5 vidios of 10 min and this one helpt more becous i can olie now

I did it thank you

Tip: you don't have to place you're foot in the middle in some cases this might make things harder to land. The more higher you want to olllie the more back you're front foot should be (I usually place my foot right on the second set of the front bolts.)

Perfeito!!!!!!!

Muy buenas explicaciones.. aunque ni se sepa mucho de inglés....se entiende muy bien con los esquemas ..y cámara lenta

I’ve been practicing my Ollie’s for only 2 days now and I think I’ve failed like 57 times already, so maybe this video will help me do it the right way lol XD

This clip popped up in my feed. Couldn't see who the skater was, but then i saw the mountain in the background and was like "ah, it's Johnny Giger" xD.

I tried to ollie today and landed it a couple of times

Teach me how to 360 double flip

Works

Wow second try and i got it in my kitchen on my sons board lol

I tried and I landed on my back!!

Step 3- lift your back knee

Im going to break my ankle again while doing this lol

So do you pop, and slide, and jump together?

Jump FIRST then pop. Not exactly the same time, if you watch there’s a slight delay between the jump and pop

you should lift your front foot as you pop meaning your front foot will meet your nose only then should you slide the slide is the equivalent of leveling your board out

I was practicing yesterday and hardly got the tiniest bit of air and landed super weird but my reaction was priceless😭😭 (I was recording)

Instructions unclear in 1 minute i broke my leg

I’m trying to figure out how the board gets in the air

Bruh I was working on my Ollie today and just ate it ong 😭 pretty sure I broke my arm

Are revive board any good or are they ehhh?

The very first Ollie in the video is an O.G. Shifty !

The important tip that Johnny didn't say, is that YOU SHOULD BEND YOUR BACK FOOT IN YOUR STOMACH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, and then press your front foot down while flicking it forward.

I can watch this in one minute but i can ollie in one month

Yay I did an ollie only got like 2cm off the ground but it's a start

I can pop but I can’t seem to level out the board

JUMP --> POP, not at the same time!

For some reason when i ollie my backfoot never stays on the back of the board and always moves up the board towards my front foot. Is this normal because when i watch videos of people ollie their backfoot stays in place

Impossible when I slide my feet forward whenever I jump in my skateboard moves away from me. If I try to jump forward, my skateboard goes back so it’s impossible.

bro i’ve been trying this for like 2 days and i’m so fucking angry at myself for not being perfect at it, when I literally have been practicing for 2 days, i know it’s stupid and i know i’m just making my progress slower but i’m just PISSED I hate being a perfectionist

Are you able to Ollie on grass? Cuz I'm too scared to try on concrete

Bro didn’t do an Ollie. He did a Kangaroo Ollie

Bunanaa

Wow seems hard

i cant even get my board in the air

At first I thought this was gta

Kick down on back foot ankle kick on front foot

Timing is everything!!😢

At the park right now bout to pop my first ollie hell yeah 💪

😼😼😼

I'm trying to get better after reporting this video helped me

i feel like the ollie was just like learning to drop in on a half pipe. you just had to full on commit. any hestitaiton and you ate shit.

0:31

How do you jump and keep the board on your feet 💀

My toxic trait is thinking I can easily do this

I can't even do it with my hands

I cant land my Backfoot on the Board i always land it on the ground

Bro- Skateboarding is more harder than Scootering. Scooter is kinda easy to learn-😢😊

No matter how hard I try it won't pop!!!! It just can't move up from the ground, it slides forward, even if I'm not standing on it, my skateboard just can't pop

I OLLIED IN 3 DAYS BRO AINT NO WAYYYYYYYYYY

i can ollie but for those who can’t, how hard is the flick
