In this video, I go into as much detail as I can to explain how to ollie and skate stairs as well as the common mistakes made with beginners. I hope this video helps you as it will be the first big step to skating other obstacles rather than flat ground. If you need any more help, comment below or DM me on Instagram

Another quick tip: having friends motivate you can really help boost your confidence. My friend told me his camera was gonna die soon when I was close to kickflipping a 3 stair and it made me commit to the trick more and I ended up landing it. His battery was almost fully charged, he just wanted to give me a push 😂

I have learned that meditating before doing stuff like this helps a lot. I think of it like stretching/warming up the mind before using it just like we stretch our muscles before we skate. Think about it 90% of skating is mental, why wouldn't we warm up the mind first?

I was struggling, I would always bail out halfway through. So, this is what i started doing. I’d count down from 3 in my head, go up to the stairs yell “DONT BE A PUSSY” and I would just go for it. Helped me alot

That’s awesome!!
What I do is, while in the air, I just look at my feet and concentrate on the ollie movement. I don't look at the stairs nor at where I am landing, only what my feet are doing on the board, and especially how my front foot slides. That has helped me a tone with commitement. I also have a problem with doing straight ollies so I like to approach the stairs with a slight angle so that when I land, it will be a straight and clean land. Hope that these tips can help someone out there as well ;)

This is my first time trying to do a stair and it’s a 4 stair. I landed with 1 foot but I don’t know why I can’t with 2 so I hope this video helps
I can perfectly Ollie and clear set but when I’m about to land my foot don’t land on feet or just one foot or my board flip on the ground when I land on it
i love you tysm for this series so fucking helpful
next video idea : ‘why you can’t 3 shuv’ :3
and knowing how to bail is one of the most important things

If you can get down a curb you can get down a 2, practice on the smallest set or ledge you can find. Go up one or two steps as you get more comfortable. I use to freak out about it until I just kept jumping down the stairs until I was ready to land on the board. Pre KZread days. Now that I’m older and am having the same issue I’m reminded that your fear is your worst enemy with skateboarding.
Here after getting broke off from a 3 stair because I cant commit to staying over my board when jumping off anything higher than a curb
I can ollie stairs pretty well but there are sometimes when I just cant commit for some reason. Me and 2 of my friends went to this 3 stair the other day that we've all ollied multiple times before but for some reason I just couldn't get it that time. I literally like totalled my knee.

Just keep trying, if your close than you're probably doing it right, you might need to flick your foot harder if its flipping too slow and vice versa, and make sure to try to catch it with your feet in the air instead of it hitting the ground before your feet get on it(if you're doing that)
