Jump, THEN push the tail. Holy crap! I've watched so many videos and nobody has ever mentioned this. This is the best analysis of the ollie.

this is how i teach my students too, i'm a coach. Growing up, i was taught to pop first. But as I grew older and ollie-ing became 2nd nature, i realised i don't even pop first. It's especially obvious when i'm ollie-ing over cones and benches

You jump off the board and bring it with you. Many people think your feet jump off the ground but you just jump off the board then pop the tail and bring the board with you with the front foot

First and foremost this channel is unlike any other skate channel and we need to show our appreciation,i hope he becomes an physical therapist or orthopedic surgeon or something....and if you skate i dont care how good you are or think you are ....we all need to watch this channel ....the science used in these are accurate and thorough.....its not the most "entertaining" but its not meant to be ....this man is taking time out of his life to not only put us on game...but explains to us how to optimize every aspect of this thing we love, that being said my name is steven and im a skateaholic ...have been since 93 ....keep rippin and youll stay young....the moment you stop you will start to age physically,you will loose all your tuck and roll ability and abilities to take a fall like you used to ...yea that comes with age but if you dont use it you lose it skatin is nothing like riding a bike

Bro I totally agree with everything you said. This channel is very thorough and helpful to new and seasoned skate addicts alike. I started skating back in 1994 at the ripe age of 8 and continued through to my early 20s. I then started working out of state during the week and met my wife who at the time had my stepdaughter who was almost 2. Then we had 2 more children and between work and family I let skating be placed on the back burner and then completely out of the picture. I continued to snowboard regularly until recently, I still make it to the slopes and board parks a handful of times each season but nowhere near enough as I’d like. Anyway my son got a cheap halo pennyboard for Xmas one year and I busted out my old zero deck from my 20s. Still had the grinding trucks I had gotten in high school and I still love them as much as I did then haha. Anyway point of the story is I had to and continue to have to relearn everything. My balance and cruising skills were still there for the most part just needed polished back up a little but as far as tricks that’s a big negative. I knew what I needed to make my feet and body do but had to retrain my muscles to have that muscle memory. I’ve never been so frustrated. Since I used to have a pretty good pretty good array of tricks in my arsenal and now I was relearning a damn ollie. I’m 37 now and been skating again for about 4yrs and am once again a complete addict. I’ll never be as good most likely as I once was just bc of age but I take slams and what not just as good as if I was 16 still. I’ve only had a couple that put me outta the game for a couple days. The instincts needed to tuck and roll and get out of those hairy situations with minimal or no injuries is still on point. My only regret in life is that 10yr or there abouts hiatus from skating. Everything about skateboarding remained a part of my life always except physically getting on my board and doing it and now that I started again I’ll never stop. Even if I’m 80 and all I can do is cruise around town I will be on my board. Now my 9yr old son and my one daughter who’s 13 skate with me all the time. My oldest daughter has taken to snowboarding with me but she’s not up to skating YET that is.

I think one aspect of the ollie that is overlooked is balance. Your ability to have good balance on a board to begin with. Practicing pushing and riding around effortlessly FIRST on a board removes a lot of fear people posses while learning how to ollie. Creating that peace of mind will help with confidence. Also I learned how to ollie on to curbs. A physical goal helps. It also decreases the height that you will fall off if you bail instead of trying to ollie over things.

this is true, its often a step in learning to skate that is missed. People hop on and try to learn how to kick flip. When I started many years ago, I have a variflex banana board that would be almost impossible to do any tricks let alone ollies, and I cruised around on that learning to turn / carve / and go fast before I ever even stepped on what at the time I called a "wide board" that sort of foundation really helps imo but is often skipped over.

State the obvious. Balance is needed for skate boarding

Wow, these videos are amazing!! I've been skating off and on for like 15 years now and have always sucked. The 'hardest' trick I ever landed was a FS bigspin, but basically every trick I've ever landed was sloppy and sketchy. Ollies would constantly pivot unintentionally, rocket, and never got that high; kickflips would flip downward, overflip, underflip, accidentally rotate, etc; and don't even get me started on treflips. I've watched hundreds of tutorials (or maybe a handful of tutorials 20 times each) and felt frustrated hearing the same comments over and over again. Then I watch this video only once and do the best ollie of my life right after! I've been binging some of the other ones and am having mind-blown moments during every video. Seeing the physics broken down like this and the forces displayed clearly in a real-time simulation with arrows (dude, the arrows!!) has unlocked an understanding of skateboarding I've never had. My tricks are so much more consistent now and feel so much better. Popping after the jumping motion (instead of during) sounds so simple, but it just never clicked. It was like I was jumping off the pop, like the jump and the pop were happening simultaneously (or like I was doing a one-footed jump right after the tail hit the ground). With the mechanics broken down like this, it became so obvious. It's like magic! Seriously, thank you so much!! You got me back on my board having the most fun I've ever had skating. These tutorials are unlike any other I've ever seen in the best ways possible! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

This is super cool. Pay no attention to the people telling you you're wrong for exploring the physiology of the movements. This is awesome and you're super chill dude.

This is a revolution for beginners and pros alike to really see and understand what’s going on with the body and how it should be undertaken. I’m so glad I found this , hope every skater gets to see this and any other trick they are struggling with , a huge help , we’ll done , peace 👍

I think the "pull" or "scoop" in an Ollie or any flip trick is necessary. Once you master the feel of not popping straight down but instead slightly in towards your back foot (pull/scoop), you will have SO much more control and your height will improve and your flips will be SO CLEAN

@jameskazd9951

not pulling my back foot in all the way/ not enough is a problem i had for the longest time that i'm just starting to get better at and when i get it right improves the height of my ollies by 20-30%

I just nailed my first ollie and rolling ollie thanks to your video. Cant wait till the ankle muscles recover so i can practice more. Cheers dude.

This is the best example I've ever seen. Recently, I started skating again and tried an ollie, it was just today when I realized I was doing it wrong. This video is stunning because it shows how to do it and the science behind it. Awesome!

WOW - every single mistake you mention in the when you time it wrong section, I do. I kept thinking my front foot technique was the issue, but the incorrect timing leading the nose to push BACK your front foot is something I've struggled with SO MUCH when trying to ollie over or off things. It's almost like because I'm nervous to jump over or off of something, I end up doing the ollie too fast and too early in the jump. This is blowing my mind man and I'm only a third through the video! Truly one of the best skateboarding channels on youtube. Thank you for all your hard work getting these videos out.

25 yo beginner and this really explained everything so well, you're a talented man thank you for sharing this.

What an EXCELLENT video!! - I am a 43 year old guy learning how to to proper high pop ollies instead of sketchy ones & now ive found this video I understand COMPLETELY!! really good ollies are not easy & take practice but with this Clever video you can actually UNDERSTAND the dynamics and Achieve a perfect Ollie technique. . Thanks for making the effort to help other Skaters with this Genius video. Respect

Love the scientific approach to the Ollie. Spot on!

Man, I've been struggling with this for years, can't wait to try it out! This is by far the best skateboarding tutorial content I've seen since i started skating! Thanks a lot!

This was incredibly informative. Looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you!

Wooooooooow. I dreamed about that type of channel!!! Thank you very much for doing this!

I’ve been skating for some time now and have never know this. I never knew I had to time an ollie while just skating flat. But this would be very beneficial for beginners because it explains everything in way more detail.

i always needed in depth info that noone could suply me with when i first learned skating. now i just have to try again. Thanks for the video!

Thank you, this is what I was looking for, some times I've ollied really high, but most of the time I've messed up the timing, great video!

Thank you so much man, you have no idea how much this helps

I've always had questions in my mind about EXACTLY this, and you ANSWERED them! This video is everything I've always wanted to know about the ollie and how to negotiate the jump and the pop. You absolute madlad, you did it and I love you. Now I just need to get back on the board and try to land the first ever ollie in my life, since I basically gave up on it about 10 years ago after attempting it every day for several months, and also attempting it very often for a couple of years even before that.

God, thank you so much for this video! I was struggling with ollie so much. I've watched a lot of videos, but just couldn't understand how I was supposed to jump. The board just didn't want to get in the air. I've seen this video in my recs a couple of times but never clicked on cause I thought that wasn't the tutorial I needed. But then I decided to give it a chance. And oh my god! That's EXACTLY what I needed! To see when I have to lift my body and pop the tail. AND FINALLY I'VE MANAGED TO DO OLLIE! Sorry for caps I am just SO SO excited! I still need a lot of practise, but finally my ollie at least really looks like an ollie and not a jump on a tail! Thank you so much!

Bruh been in the game for 15 years and this video would have helped me do much starting out

Love the in-depth descriptions and 3d models! It's great to have visuals and technical info, as I'm an information nerd and I like to know, how things work. There's definitely, no rocket airs, in my ollie or flip tricks, but that doesn't mean there's no room for improvement. As I get older (closer to 40 than 30) and my physiology changes, muscles and joints change from uses (and disuse) and even my eyesight, gets worse, I've had to "try a little harder" to get, what I want out of skating. I want higher ollie pop? I have to really dig deep into the "hows" and "whys" , I have to be more conscious of stuff like body positioning and things like tucking in my legs or jumping, as high as I can. Once, you understand the fundamentals of the ollie and have the timing, the trick to getting them higher, is all in how high you jump in relation to the downward force exerted by the "pop" and then, just keeping those legs, tucked, until you're over the obstacle in front of you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS CONTENT 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you so much, every tutorial it's just "just do the ollie man, practice Poppin and then do an ollie easy" but no one truly explains HOW exactly to do it, this has been truly helpful

This was actually insanely helpful. My ollies have always been super inconsistent and I could never figure out why but now I’m getting it almost every time. I think I used to pop and jump at the same time instead of jumping and popping. Now I just gotta work on rolling ollies

This is gold. Thanks so much!

I haven't skated in many years, but I remember as a kid it taking me weeks to execute my first ollie. Then over like 10 years to fully master this concept explained in this video. At my peak of skating I was able to ollie shopping carts and park benches. I wish I had this video back when I was learning. Probably wouldn't have taken me 10 years to master the ollie lol.

Your video is the best tutorial video on the subject of “Olli” that I have ever seen. Yes, I would almost say the best tutorial video in the world. This would almost have to be translated into as many languages as possible and would help as many young skaters get started in the sport of skateboarding. As we all know, the Olli is the hardest trick to learn. Because that's what everything or most of it is based on. Unfortunately, most people fail at this and then turn to other sports. But your video is so well explained thanks to the animations that anyone who wants to can understand it.

I remember being a kid playing THP3 and pausing the game right when the ollie was happening to see when I should be moving my foot, because you could see the player in the background of the transparent menu. This video brings me back to that haha
