[@AaronShaHome]

Great tutorial ! what is your binding angle for this and all mountain freestyle? Thank you

[@kashiro2492]

love this

[@frbergkotte]

Love the vid. Looking forward next week to bring this all in action. You where saying it sometimes help to pop coming of an edge. Majority of the other videos say that you should hit jumps always flat based for more control. Any thoughts on that ? Thanks for your great helping vids 🙏🏻👌🏻👊🏻

[@SnowboardProCamp]

I think you should use the type of action depending on the jump and what you want to do. Absorb the jump, coast off the jump, level pop from flat, or Ollie. No wrong answer really!

[@prettyboyk]

Very helpful 👌

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Awesome!

[@Oroth85]

I understand loading up the tail. Is the idea of snapping the ollie just doing the same motion but faster or is it more about something else, like delaying the moment you release the pressure on the tail?

[@pegeot1977]

Thanks 👍

For me it just feels hard getting of the ground in that high speed, when i do get some highr i accidentally rotate a bit to my heel edge

What is the difference between loading up the tail and snapping it?

[@kathi5433]

Thanks for this great Video. How do I land after the jump? On the base of my board or on the edge? I always slip away after the jump. Cheers

[@jenshreds]

At what point in the lip are to releasing the energy from the ollie/pop? Are you waiting till the last minute? I'm struggling with the timing.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Waiting until the last moment. Timing is important and being patient to wait until the last part of the lip.

[@IvanLosada]

Do you put your weight in the back foot just before jumping?

[@abrlogar]

[@fredericweitze382]

Which resort are you at? Hi from Zermatt

[@sfmambero]

What does ‘snap the tail’ mean?

[@jaredreck882]

Bend down flex the board at the tail and let it snap back into shape springing you into the air. Loading up your tail with energy and let it snap (pop) you into the air

[@hdhfdhddhdk]

Search how to Ollie on a skateboard. Similar mechanics

[@roodaley]

You are pre loading pressure on the tail and than hopping off of that momentum, it similar to a wind up and release motion same staggered timing

[@maxmotors9497]

Think of a wave motion from rolling through your entire body starting with rolling weight onto your front knee/leg and then rolling that weight backwards to your back hip then knee then waist on the way back up. The snap happens at full compression like a spring

[@monkey6853]

@@hdhfdhddhdk search Ollie on a snowboard is better

[@OliverDieste]

Hey Kevin, a doubt always comes to my mind when I see your videos (and others) here in YT. Clearly the feeling of speed and the steepness of the terrain can be barely perceived by us who just watch your videos. Could you just point out, p.E. what the speed (in case you know it) and the degree of the ride you are doing during the first minute? To me, it seems like "very flat" and "very slow", but then I try similar natural jumps and I get not more than one femptosecond in the air, great for nanoparticles, not so great for me :) Thanks and congrats for your videos!

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Hey Oliver, the jumps here are on a fairly flat slope. I had to keep my speed up between jumps. Then for the rollers, they were on a fairly steep slope. Hope that helps!

[@DanAbdo]

How does one get a "snap" out of the tail? What exactly is your body doing?

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Sorry for not being clear. To “snap” your tail, you load up the pressure on your tail, the releasing that pressure.

[@shredsurance]

Is exploding upwards directly from the middle a bad thing? (Rather than loading the tail)

[@SnowboardProCamp]

It’s not a bad thing. You can still get height that way. Doing an Ollie can just get even more.

[@snowbunny1001]

Nice 👍

[@darkslider802]

Are you jumping off an edge or jumping from flat?

[@flipxsk8er2689]

Hey there! Are you staying flat or on one of the edge of the board before the jump?

[@caleb9840]

you gotta hit a jump standing flat, if you ollie on your edge you’re either gonna slip out or lose balance as soon as you get in the air

[@clublulu399]

What ski resort is this at?

[@babbeluringknutsson3878]

Its important to gain not to much weight backwards after popping that ollie. Strive to neutralize the weight balance or you will do a half backflip.

Ive ollied off of jumps before and it’s launched foward making me land on my face lol. What tips do you have for not over loading the tail?

[@Goddamnwaffles]

dont overload the tail

[@YogiTheBearMan]

Keep practicing I suppose. Start small and work your way up

[@TheJonbonesjones]

Pop instead of Ollie off of a jump

[@dsmbilly3690]

Keep your shoulders level at the start of the jump. Your legs should not effect the movement of your shoulders. Think of your legs like the suspension on a trophy truck. Your shoulders should only follow your legs when turning or stopping. To add weight to your rear you should remove weight on your front foot by pulling it up slightly before the rear then use your back foot to slow the rotation. It is FAR easier to control by trying to bring your knees as close to your chest as your pop will allow. Some boards like Lib Tech have so much pop I have hit my knees on my chest, both their old skateboards and their snowboards.

[@bukchoiii]

Look up Ed shreds ollie. He explains ollie better there.

[@twoblipsendurotrips]

What?!? Ollie kickers? Seriously don’t listen to this guy unless you love nose dives. There is a place and time for Ollie’s and it’s almost never over a kicker. The only time an Ollie is used is when there’s a lack of speed and even then the risk of losing stability goes through the roof. You can even seen this goon use less and less of an Ollie the faster he goes. Calculate your speed, keep your chin up, belly button centered, bend the knees and pop from both legs. Tommie Bennett has a great video on this.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Wow, I’ve never been called a goon before. Take a breathe dude before bouncing around the internet screaming at people like a banshee. You’ll feel like goon next time you Ollie off a kicker do to a tail grab.

[@twoblipsendurotrips]

@@SnowboardProCamp bud… I know the easiest way out of this is to call me some internet troll that screams like a “banshee” but my comment is going to stay there. People that end up on this video often do because they are afraid of getting hurt and you’re setting them up for hurt or maybe worse, an E.R. visit by telling them to load up their tail on a kicker. Idk how you made it this far with a channel without understanding what you’re actually doing but maybe you should watch your own footage and see that the more of an appropriate speed you have the less you load your tail. You are going to get someone hurt. End of story.

[@TheJonbonesjones]

Yea I always thought you’re supposed to pop instead of Ollie off of kickers

[@TheGreatGuy_]

why ollie a jump and not pop?

[@SnowboardProCamp]

The Ollie can get you more heigh because it uses the flex and caber of your board.

[@deadpopper7004]

@@SnowboardProCamp do u ollie on big jumps aswell? Cuz that might bring u off balance and falling over ur tail. Just wondering :)

[@eddiedavidsson8640]

Good vid but not so useful if you want to do anything else then 180’s or grabs. This is only somthing i would do on 10 feet jumps. Anything bigger then that you risk alot with the ollie on kickers. Over shoot landings, more air than you would need etc. When it comes to rotations this would probably send you into some kind of flip if the speed is just off a little.

[@sunpeaksturner]

I like what he is teaching…but its all about the snap..transition..speed..timing..and really bringing your back leg up..once you hit max height..and you can hit max height with out a bit of thrust forward.. Great video..not bad ..

Thanks for sharing. Although don’t mean to be rude, but n obody jumps from the ground by using double backhands. This move was introduced in early 2000’s in skateboarding and it does not lend well to a smooth style.

Great vid, don't think the clickbait image is necessary though.

[@kashiro2492]

its a great image what else was he going to use a dude riding a rail?

[@inbodyacademy9025]

Please don’t listen to Kevin. Zero reason to Ollie off a jump. Listen to someone like Tommie Bennett. They will tell you clearly why you should not Ollie off a jump. You can get just as good of pop if you know what you are doing. Plus how are you going to set up doing spin tricks if you Ollie? You can do it but much more advanced. You need an Ollie to actually Ollie over things. That’s the point. Or off a catwalk roller or something like that. Well designed jumps are designed to give you plenty of pop if you at all know what you are doing. You should jump off your edge to spin and you get plenty off pop.

[@monkey6853]

If you watch his 180s, he isn't doing an Ollie. You can Ollie, you can pop, why not try it both ways? Tommy does the psycho arm waving thing, which seems to help by throwing your COM up, and stabilising by decreasing rotational momentum.
