8 Common Ollie Mistakes

[@cynamonstudio]

As someone who has been working on ollie for 6 months, this is the best advice out there. Take foot positioning for example. Aaron Kyro says, put feet closer together. Sure if you are a pro - this works great, cause you do ollies as easily as blinking your eye. But for a beginner - as the girl says - it is the worst you can do. Do the opposite, you will feel more stable, you will level the board much better ... you won't hear this often from any tutorials. GOOD JOB SARAH!

[@SarahParkMatott]

Thanks! I'm glad you appreciated the content. 😃 (I obviously agree that this is important lol) I think there is a little disconnect between some of the skaters making tutorials and the ones watching them. Like this foot positioning example, I think most of the teachers assume that skaters want to know how to ollie higher after they learn how to level out the ollie, when a lot of skaters are trying to learn how to "ollie higher" because they don't know how to level out the ollie. So the intended audience and the actual audience seem to be a bit different, without either side realizing it. And so, it seems to be a bit of a cycle.

[@sugaranderson1]

very well done on this ollie tutorial! these are the information which every beginner needs to know. most especially, the front foot placement. majority of the tutorial demonstrated the front foot in the middle of the board to level it out! keep it up!

[@SarahParkMatott]

@@sugaranderson1 Thank you! I'm glad you think so 😃🙏 Yeah, I think increasing the distance between the nose and your front foot as a beginner is usually not a great idea. It's hard enough to push the nose forward as it is 😂

[@BerryMcCockiner]

Like perfecting your ollies right? I’ve taught a couple of my friends to Ollie both stationary and moving in the matter of a few days. I couldn’t imagine you’re failing to actually ollie.

[@lemn6317]

i feel it all depends on each person and what you feel comfortable with. for example. im learning how to ollie but its much easier for me to keep my feet closer together and when it comes to popping a different foot position feels more comfortable and better to pop with.

[@ShiOW]

This is the magnum opus of ollie tutorials; this will help out many people out there struggling!

[@bassyey]

Finally second video I've seen where the slide is disproved. I'm pretty sure I don't even "slide". I don't know where that even came from. People overstate and over-emphasize the slide! Barely any slide. More like a scratch to me.

[@thorneto2742]

Mitchie Brusco shows this really well by doing an Ollie with his hand and there is no slide whatsoever. The front foot is simply levelling out the board.

[@JasonHoekstra]

Thank you Sarah!!! You helped unlock my 30 year stuck ollie (w long breaks) just today, less than a year back on board. Many good instructors and instructions here on KZbin, nobody breaks it down step by step with quality visuals like you do. Mega thanks for your work!! The other dudes are like “look, like this, it’s easy!”. You are way ahead of the curve on all of this.

[@SarahParkMatott]

ahh thanks Jason! Stoked to hear that the tips helped unlock the ollie for you! That's amazing 😃 Keep shredding!

[@skurge98]

As someone who decided to get back into skating in their 30's, this video is amazing help. I too followed the Aaron Kyro way and fell more or didn't level out my ollies. This video really helped make some things click.

[@jonathanphillips6372]

I love how thorough your videos are in comparison to other youtubers! You're really good at explaining things as if we've never heard them, while other sketeboarding youtubers have a tendency to explain things as if they're super basic, just because it's something they've been familiar with for so long. Thank you!

[@marceugeni]

The popping exercise is gold!! I was either pinching or ghost popping 50% of the times. Also this exercise develops some muscles you need to actually pop hard and solid. Thankyou!!

[@SarahParkMatott]

Exactly! 💪 It's not just about the skill, but the muscle. Gotta trick ourselves into developing both 😃 Glad you like that exercise!

[@lengmoua22]

7:40 thanks for this. It seems no one really talks about this aspect of Ollies. When I started, my board would slip before I jump/pop and it had to do with my weight distribution/shoulders.

[@SarahParkMatott]

Yeah, the weight distribution and pop angle too (which is sometimes a result of the weight/shoulders), are less talked about, which is why I made sure to add it. I wanted to put in lesser known issues in this video! Glad you liked that part 😊🙏

[@mtc24ful]

I just found your videos. This one was very helpful. I'm still not ollying after three years of returning to skating after 40 years of not so much skating. I'm going to keep trying ollies now, feet apart. Thank you.

[@Mb_dubs_]

This is way better than any other video I have watched or person that has tried to teach me to ollie. I couldn’t really figure out what I was doing wrong until I watched this video and now I know that I’m not centering myself completely and my back foot goes behind the board. I couldn’t figure out why it was behind but now I know so thank you for the help. It means a lot to me. Most of the other tutorials do not explain staying level with the board and I couldn’t really find any tutorial that was explaining why my foot doesn’t stay on, but you helped. Thank you.

[@SarahParkMatott]

thank you! I'm glad to hear it helped 😃

[@methstones]

Some of the best ollie advice ive ever heard, visualising it has a heart beat helps with the timing a lot

[@SarahParkMatott]

ahh stoked to hear that 💪

[@jbernardo3]

Great video thanks! Your 5-step Ollie method is also innovative and excellent. The main thing it adds for me is muscle memory ‘at-speed’ which is what makes it so hard to translate the slow steps from other how to videos into an actual Ollie. I used your method to get a beginner-level switch Ollie and it worked in the span of maybe 20 minutes. Lots of room for me to improve them, but I never ever thought I would land any kind of switch Ollie at all before seeing your video.

[@SarahParkMatott]

That's awesome! I'm really happy to hear that it helped you so much. I actually came up with the method while learning switch myself. I wanted to find something that helped with all the little parts of an ollie but wasn't a "1,000 tries" method. And the 5-step method was what I came up with :D Congrats on the switch ollie! Mine still needs a lot of improvement too, but we are getting there 💪😄

[@thehumblepundit9790]

As an OG newbie, this is the best Ollie video I've watched. And I've watched them ALL, LOL. I can't seem to get my back foot up. I will practice your back foot exercise. Thanks!

[@SarahParkMatott]

wow, thank you! 😃 I can't remember if I mentioned them in this video, but if you're struggling to get that back foot up, another great exercise to practice is the knee tuck jump! They always help me remember to bring both my feet up. I just do one or two, then try the trick again :D

[@Introspectiverider99]

i never thought of the back foot as not touching the floor to make the pop, that’s cool to know. I always try to emphasize the back foot my slamming it down but not really getting a good height. This video brings so many good ideas to making the ollie work

[@SarahParkMatott]

Yeah, it took a long time to figure that out haha which is why I like to emphasize it. Hope you have fun working through your ollie though! 💪

I placed my feet closer and closer together because so many tutorials said i should do that. After your tutorial i did an 4inch ollie secong or third try. I cant say how grateful i am. (at the same day i got a 6inch ollie down, my record till now) And this all JUST because you made this tutorial!

[@ryonmcdermott6087]

Excellent video! I'm not a beginner, but I still appreciated your perspectives. At a certain point, it seems like one kinda hits a limit with ollie height. I've been skating for years and it seems I have a max height that I can only hit on a good day. I think genetics or body type might have something to do with it. I've made my peace with it, but I still love to watch a good ollie tutorial now and then to see if I can improve. :)

[@SarahParkMatott]

Already got my first ollie right after your advice. THANK YOU! like share subscribed

[@SarahParkMatott]

Aww nooo! Pinching the board is really easy to overlook. The big problem is that pros and advanced skaters are soo good that the space they need between the ground and their deck is really small, and they can keep the tail really close to their foot. So, it’s hard to see the space and it even looks like they are jumping right off the ground. But! I am super stoked that that was the last piece of the puzzle for you! Congrats on your ollie 💪💪

one thing that really helped me balance on my board when doing the ollie is loosening up your upper body and keeping balance.

Hey I found your channel today, and already I wanna say thanks so much for these videos. I started skating summer 2018 but I'm still stuck in the very beginner stuff because I get so incredibly discouraged. :D And there's nowhere to skate during the winter for a total beginner like me. (Thanks for the carpet boarding vids, I'm pumped to finish work for today so I can try stuff out!) I do pretty decent ollies stationary but it completely!!! falls apart when I try to do it rolling. Do you have any tips for getting ollies consistently while rolling? I'd really appreciate a video. Thanks again Sarah, amazing stuff. I really want to progress this summer and you have tons of great material for inspiration.

Thank you for the comment! I’m glad you like the videos!😃 and I can totally relate to having nowhere to skate in winter besides my basement. Skating is so difficult. Making a video about rolling ollies is on my list. I am just taking a little skate break to rest and then that’s one of the next few tutorials 😃 I told someone else this though, so I’ll post it here as well. Getting the ollies rolling is indeed something that we all struggle with 😂 It does come down to practice, but you can practice smarter if you know what you're struggling with of course. In my case, I had 2 major issues. 1. I had was trouble pushing the nose forward once I was rolling. And it turned out that I just needed to push the nose forward much harder than when I was doing the ollie stationary. And 2. I wasn't popping straight down once I was rolling. I was trying to jump forward a bit and that really killed my pop. So, I focused on getting a better leveled out stationary ollie and then I started the roll at a crawling pace. I went super slow to make sure I didn't sacrifice any of the form I was practicing. And it helped so much. It's now much easier to ollie while rolling. I hope that helps for now!! 😃💪 have fun practicing!

@@SarahParkMatott hey thanks so much for your reply! And good to hear a tutorial is coming 😁 I still have to wait a few weeks before "my spot" is not covered in snow anymore, but I'm definitely gonna start on the carpet right away. Thanks again, I obviously subscribed so I won't miss future videos hehe

[@SarahParkMatott]
