How To Get Pop On A Skateboard
Pop is a simple concept but can still be pretty elusive when it comes to newer skaters, or even long time skaters who are trying to learn how to pop higher in general. In this video I go over some of the core concepts behind properly popping your board and lightly touch on some of the physics involved. Hopefully this will help you out if you're working on getting that pop higher!
As always, thank you for watching and I will see you next time! :)

That sponsor transition might be the smoothest I've ever seen in my life. Almost as smooth as that dad joke at the beginning.

[@deathofeffie3753]

I no longer have to worry about my zoo card being broken inside my wallet, thanks VLSkate!

I’ve been able to Ollie well for about 2 years but haven’t been able to explain it to a friend. I just say u need to pop higher and this is the most in detail I have ever seen an ollie tutorial. Thanks vlskate I love u

[@Truth_Hurts_Bad]

If you can't explain it, you ain't doin' it right!

[@wolfeevi]

@@Truth_Hurts_Bad some people r js bad at explaining

[@donovanhays]

This is the most important piece that's missing from every ollie tutorial. Every new skater I watch suffers from letting their back foot fully hit the ground before pulling it up and they kill all their pop. I'm trying to help my daughter with her ollies now and that brought me to this video. Sending it to her now lol

[@the.a.t.x.traterrestrial1947]

Showing my kids this now been a year and they can grind rails drop in but ollies have been the kryptonite but this vid was so easily explained thank you sir 👽🤘🏾

How can you grind rails without ollieing?

[@jeremiahhuntley-dunham4792]

What type of grinds? I want to learn to do some grinds but my Ollie's aren't really that high

they can grind but can't Ollie? I think u lyin.

[@Kekese]

@@iaganfoss just found it in the comments lol, I guess you would like a pointless argument?

[@sniler23]

This is one of the greatest ollie tutorials i have seen so far (and I've seen a lot in the last year). I needed 3 months to understand that I had to jump with the back foot pretty high and that my foot is not supposed to touch so ground. And timing is so hard to learn. I am trying kickflips now. The timing you need there is just crazy for beginners :D

[@un-epic1558]

0:59 I always tell my friends this when I try to teach them how to ollie and how it annoys me how no you-tuber says this part. Thank you so much!

[@windexboy8779]

I love your content. My son's a second generation skater and he's learning so much with your videos. I wish I had slow motion videos to practice off of back in the day.

[@coolbrotherf127]

This is by far on of the best ollie tutorials I've ever seen. Definitely sending this to anyone learning to skate.

[@magortom]

Sponsorship transition was too amazing bro, I literally started cheering at the finesse

[@justaguyherefortunes1661]

Bro,thank you so much. I used to always go skate with my dad growing up and tried amd tried but I could never even Ollie. I was stomping my foot all the way down just like you said. This actually makes sense now

[@fabianng3153]

Yo this video will boom. I’ll been trying to explain to my friend how the pop works but they can’t get it. there was no video out there to show or guide them but this video made is going to make it really clear to them to understand. The title is so direct how to pop , smart 😎😎😎

[@ithekra2y317]

This video definitely needs more attention. Skateboard magic is all about pop (well at least most of it), and if you dunno how to pop ur done. I had hard time with pop, a lot of tutorials are unintuitive and basically i thought i have to pop the board to the ground and jump of the ground level at the same time which means that i would need to be very very strong to make it happen so quickly. Great video

[@piequeijo8857]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I FINALLY LIFTED THE BACK WHEELS OFF THE GROUND

[@blueeskyz]

omg, thank you so much, i know this video was made a while ago but i tried to ollie for about a week and never got close and then landed one today. Thank you so much bro

[@fkylw]

Your organization of thought, script, and editing + pace is great. Loving these videos.

[@matanaltjeacovson4117]

I was just working on my kickflip height today, great timing! Also i've accidentally learned double flips while trying to pop my kickflips higher. Was pretty sick! Btw can you make a video on gap/rail skating? Thanks anyway and keep those great vids up!

[@starplayz_rb4940]

Thanks for this, and for helping other people.

[@JesuzChris]

I love the way you explain exactly what happens while showing how you do it instead of just saying 'do it like this'

[@lol-rv8mo]

This is the best ollie tutorial that I had ever watched! Thanks Bro! ❤️

[@alexguevara2150]

I did a really good Ollie today first time in four months and seeing these help out so much to knowing what I'm doing wrong very good!

[@868SagaBoi]

I have watch your how to Ollie, how to Ollie higher pt1 and pt2 once a week for months. While trying to learn. Very helpful. Thanks for videos

[@nixon36dbd]

funny that no one explains this in tutorials, and proper pop is actually the key to unlock tricks, not the ollie itself thx for your help =)

[@legacysucks7781]

After almost 3 months of practice, I landed my first ollie and would like to thank you.

[@robbys929]

This video might’ve solved the issues I’ve been having trying to learn to Ollie thx 👍

[@JonathanCook1975]

Great video. I can see me in alot of the early stages of this ollie video. I never seem to get my back foot high enough so I tend to do alot of rocket ollies. The way you explain the physics of the pop really helps. I never seem to get the best pop either. I will be watching this again to see I can improve my ollie. Thanks for this video 🔥💯🔥.

[@ltamha]

That slide into the ad read was very nicely done, kudos xD!

[@nitl3gxnd268]

I just got back into skating and completely forgot how to ollie and all the KZbin tutorials on how to ollie dont explain how to hop so this is helping

Just wanted to let you know man I appreciate all of your videos and for the year I have been skating they have been the best I have found. I dig the lofi music too!

[@purplepotato2015]

Very underrated video this one is, personally I've never had problems with my pop, but I'm sure this video will help others 👍

[@10xgamingmm]

Bro tysm i just started and watched hella other vids on how to ollie , but none of those match the attention to detail like this vid. I kept popping with my back foot never leaving the board causing my back wheels to stay grounded. You put things into perspective for me tysm 🙏🏾

[@ga3816]

Thanks for the video!

[@SnowyBlizzard]

Never knew this video existed, this is something I had to spend days like, heavily looking at and actively and consciously trying and when I figured out that I “jump” off the back foot but have my foot leave the board before it hits the ground in this little sweet spot, that’s how I think I broke my Walmart board the first day I had it by not popping right

[@SK-yv6kp]

Wow, I couldn't Ollie from a long time and then after watching this video I got it first try!

[@SoilentGr33n]

I've been showing a few people how to ollie over the last year and I found out that the "caveman stomp" as I like to call it is actually the fastest way to dial in your ollie for a lot of people. The reason why I don't worry about proper ankle pop at first is that caveman stomping the tail makes it easier for beginners to jump straight up and it allows them to quickly understand that power comes from the back foot. The caveman stomp ollies are not very high obviously, but at the very beginning, they are totally workable as far as footwork and timing goes. Once the caveman stomp ollies are sort of proper, than we work on dialing back the caveman until the ankle does all the work. When warming up for a session it's almost always how I do it too. I caveman stomp my ollies at first and dial them in until it feels nice and then I start skating for real.
