This is hands down the best tutorial on youtube.

I have to be honest. I purchased Aaron's course, and no disrespect to him, but your lessons are far, far more detailed and structured. Great work Bro!

Thank you for your explanations, I watched so many videos, hoping that this understanding will help me

This vídeo is definitely for nerds.... I love it...

Nerd life! I just figure that not everyone can pick things up with the super light quick tip tutorials. Some folks just need more understanding before they are willing to attempt things. Others need it so they can make connections in their mind to how and why things feel good or awkward and that its ok to go through both! Thanks for watching:)

Thank you for this tutorial. I did notice that my board was rolling backwards which scares me, but now that I know that it’s natural and essential for the ollie, I’ll feel more confident in committing to it. Thank you!

Great to know what to feel, great details!

Its so important to connect sensations to the movements you make. Once you know how a movement feels then you can adjust it and improve it! Stoked you connected on that concept!

And now I’m over here struggling how to Ollie

This is great. The backward motion of the board gives me leverage to push the nose forward. Now when I pop I'm thinking to get the nose to my front foot by popping the board slightly backward. Thanks!

This is great! My trouble is with the pop specifically. I either have heavy back foot r too light. I can't seem to have the right amount of push. Is the back foot supposed to be gently when using down, at the time when your hips are getting higher than your knee level, for example?

@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205

Send me a video and I'll break it down if you want. You have to push hard with both legs to get moving upward. However, you don't want to feel like you're ever standing on the tail when it hits the ground. The timing is crazy finite which is why those of us who don't just naturally get it struggle with it. Jump hard flick hard but never be touching the tail when the tail hit's the ground.

I do everything right, but It seems that I have an issue with the jump. It is not high enough to give me the time to push the tail and slide the nose. Do you have advices on how to jump higher? Do I need to jump using mainly the front foot so that the back foot does not weight on the tail and then pop and slide?

@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205

That feeling of having heavy feet is so normal when you're learning this. First send me some video of your ollies so I can put my eyes on you and give you specific feedback. For a lot of people the fear of falling or disconnecting from the skateboard can be pretty daunting. Try practicing some hippy style jumps from the center of your board jumping up then pulling knees up. then practice jumping and lifting the front foot only. Then practice jumping and pulling the feet up a little and while in the air tap the board with your back foot and pull it back up. Then try the sequence jump lift front foot, tap back foot, lift back foot, land. Breaking down and learning to isolate each independent leg movement will help you learn the muscle memory of jumping first. Make sure your feet are between your wheels when practicing this because you don't want to actually ollie while trying these you just want to be able to jump freely and train your legs.

2:23 hey, is that tommie bennet??

this doesnt have too much to do with the vid, but at 4:09 you can see that his board turns frontside slightly. My ollies do this every time I try to and my board will stop when im moving because of it. Im pretty sure it’s not my shoulders rotating and im thinking that it’s probably something with my front or back foot movements.

@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205

If you are controlling the rotary moves fo the upper body that would lead to hip, leg, and board rotation then it well could be some kind of lower leg movement thing. Send me a video now you have my brain wanting to study your moves! Could be as simple as how your foot placement works with your leg movements...

Interesting video ,and by that I mean I didn't know about the board slightly going backwards. I thought that was pretty cool! I now know the jump is supposed to be straight UP, and not "jump towards the nose" since I hear that a lot, so I try to and instead what happens I don't pop at all because I am too focused going forward. My biggest problem is when I pop the board just goes forward ahead of my back foot; I do not have that moment where the board "stops". What would cause this issue? Too much weight on my back foot?

@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205

3 жыл бұрын

Most likely yes. When you lean back and your center of mass gets behind your feet it's real hard to catch back up to the board. I think this happens for most of us in the learning process. To make the nose rise all you have to do is lift that front foot after you've already started to get weightless from your jump. When you get that lift and flick right it wont feel like leaning back. If you send me video I will break it down for you and if you like I can keep the feedback private or can work it into a learning video for everyone.

@@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205 Hi. Thank you very much, I appreciate it! I've somewhat solved this dilemma, but I'm not consistent with it. What partially solved this problem is literally using my ankle to flick the tail, and not pushing my foot down. I say partially because I'm not used to the motion, so I still sometimes push down my leg rather than waiting til i'm weightless to flick with my back foot. Funny enough, I knew this is what I should be doing, but I guess I never actually followed through with it because I was too occupied in my mind to focus on the dragging of the foot and just timing in general. Breaking the steps up into smaller steps is underrated, at least to somebody as beginner as myself. Now I just need to focus on getting them higher because whenever I do ollie while moving they are baby pops. I did upload a video on my channel since then, but it's been almost a month since I've done any sort of practicing because the weather here in Texas has been unfavorable.

How come my static ollies on carpet in my basement are higher than rolling on concrete?

@mr_d3adw873

2 жыл бұрын

Confidence? I find that's my main problem. I can do almost perfect ollies in grass or hanging onto a wall with my wheels in a Crack. But rolling I feel I only get a few inches because I don't have the confidence to actually land it if I managed to get it to knee height.

@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205

Жыл бұрын

I agree confidence is critical. Mostly its the fear that we won't land properly and will get hurt. Practice jumping onto a rolling skateboard until it feels easy and good to land on the board. Then practice running and jumping on to the board as you drop it. Jump higher and work on stomping the landing by extending the legs. Practice (low speeds) jumping onto your board with it turned at an angle then immediately kick turn and correct to your direction of momentum. Get creative with practicing landings and how you might recover from failures in your landings. This will help you most of all if you are afraid of landing at speed on a rolling board. Remember to always start small and build up with littles steps... Good luck!

I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT . MAKES SENSE FROM A PHYSICS STANDPOINT. HERE IS THE QUESTION. EXPLAIN HOW THE SKATER TRAINERS WOULD WORK WITH WHAT YOU ARE TEACHING? THERE IS NO ROLL AND I WILL JUST LEAVE IT THERE.

@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205

3 жыл бұрын

Skater trainers do eliminate rolling and all the feel aspects that come along with rolling into an ollie. How ever they increase confidence for people in the beginning stages while keeping some critical bits of feel in tact (board weight, axle hinge, tail snap on hard surface). One of the hardest aspects of learning how to ollie is overcoming that fear that the board will slip out from under you. It's almost always better to learning things first without rolling so the student can develop coordination and feel. You could accomplish this on the carpet or in the grass but then you sacrifice the pop and rebound energy through the tail snapping on the concrete. Ollying standing still on concrete is actually really difficult for many beginners. It's almost easier to learn while rolling forward because there is less chance of the board rolling backwards. However that means that the learning skater is required to take larger risks to learn and for many people who don't have an aggressive "doer" mindset they just don't get past it. So if you are a beginner and want to learn some important parts of the feel of ollying or other tricks the skater trainers really help eliminate that fear so you can focus on some aspects of the trick. Besides less slams and injuries is a good thing in the long run. Hope this helps.
