How To Get Pop On A Skateboard

[@ggWahnthac]

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!

[@porkaism]

Soooooo smooth!!!!

[@TatsumakiTy]

Haha yeab

[@moose8896]

it's that "so"

[@StndZmbe]

Literally logged in to make this comment. Smooth like butter.

[@dude5368]

2:26 the fact that he did a trickshot just for a sponsor is awesome as hell

[@hipyhippo3829]

The dedication, u know he got paid well with that lol

[@drthxnd3r]

I didn't even skip that part. It was so nice

[@niggarachi1171]

I saw that and was like “nah homie is different” 😂

[@v1g661]

How is hell awesome?

[@BBC-nationBBC]

Getting that fcking wallet bc of the sponsor

[@durvish_2074]

Love how he introduced the sponsor in the video.Creative and brilliant

[@paulmoffatt3991]

and wallabies are cool

[@lildowny8842]

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

[@itslikeajungle]

The secret to getting good pop that people sometimes miss is that the harder you pop the tail, the faster and higher up vertically you need to pull the front foot. It's a scissoring motion and the speed of pressing one foot down and pulling the other up creates quick verticality. Also, this is hard to achieve if your front foot is too far forward as more of your weight needs to be closer to the tail. When your board comes up vertical, the second issue is it then takes a much more exaggerated forward motion and control with the front foot to level it out and at the exact same time as you level out, you need to lift your back foot up at least as high as your nose/front foot. When you get comfortable, you can turn your back foot to the side, like a fly kick, and get the tail higher than your nose! This coming from a former high ollier, though my ankles probably couldn't handle it these days!

[@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

[@Jay72538]

Because of you, I am now able to do an ollie I watch so many tutorials, but only this one worked. Thank you.

[@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!

[@avery7061]

this is my main issue that i’m working on getting over right now.

[@magortom]

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

[@shade4718]

Finally a vid of a guy who actually makes you understand the physics and mechanical aspect. That way you can figure shit out your own way. Thanks❤

[@bayerhead]

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.

[@anthonysanchez6991]

bro my mind is bloonded iv been tring to lern a olli for the past 2 years and did not know that thank you its alredy 2023 how did i not relise

[@the.a.t.x.traterrestrial84]

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 👽🤘🏾

[@Kekese]

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

[@tanner6423]

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

[@iaganfoss]

@@Kekese literally came here just to say this

[@reece3163]

This was an absolute game changer.

[@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

[@windexboy8779]

Exactly what I needed! I literally can ollie now!

[@sploo-]

just wondering, how long did it take for you to learn an ollie?

[@windexboy8779]

@@sploo- About a year.

[@sploo-]

@@windexboy8779 ok thanks, ive been trying to learn an ollie so that helps

[@windexboy8779]

[@piequeijo8857]

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

[@phemeloseotlolla]

I started skating yesterday and my friends taught me the way you say is incorrect. Step by step, and it gets me overthinking instead of truly getting the pop. This is so useful, the foot doesn't press the back, it pushes it as I jump.

[@legacysucks7781]

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

[@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

[@coolbrotherf127]

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

[@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

[@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 =)

[@eyeiness2706]

That sponsor transition was absolutely beautiful

[@MrMattshephard]

This helped me so much and I am going to buy one of those wallets now because that edit was so clean

[@jays0n22]

This video is proof you deserve love

[@starplayz_rb4940]

Thanks for this, and for helping other people.

[@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!

[@kevinciucio10]

Broo, this is the first time that I watch someone advertising a product with so much enthusiast, the transition to the sponsor was so smooth 😂

[@vulture4117]

That first trick. its one of the most important but overlooked things about learning ollies

[@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

[@haohao0627]

This is the exact thing that I'm working right now. I didn't know why I couldn't Ollie higher until I realized that my backfoot need to lift up faster. Thanks for this tutorial!!

[@fkylw]

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

[@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 😎😎😎

[@wildtodd]

Love that you incorporated slow motion clips so I didn’t have to manually slow it down…perfect tutorial man thanks

[@lol-rv8mo]

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

[@gumdrop4869]

“the three different parts sort of overlap each other & sorta happen at the same time” WHY THANK YOU. Day 3 of skating and I was doing one ollie movement at a time. Now i’m going to add them all together and do them simultaneously :)

[@killacounty]

I watched a totorial yeaterday and he popped with his back foot only and used his hand to knock the front forward and than quickly moved on without explaining what he did , thanks for taking more time with this , really helpful!

[@fergsfamilyadventures]

I really Needed this and just when I need it the most the king returns and provides it for me 1:07 that’s what happens every time to I try to ollie

[@thibaultvandenbogaerde1504]

This is probably the only video that properly touches the subject of new skateboarders failing to learn ollie.

[@EaastonCams]

What an ad setup!! Dont even care love you soo much dude

[@ltamha]

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

[@JesuzChris]

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

[@Hellscauldron]

Your videos are basically skating ASMR, thank you

[@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.

[@tototima8126]

How do I properly pop with my ankle ?

[@pikmingamerr]

its 01:28, i have not seen a single tutorial that actually says this instead of the normal ollie tutorials! cant wait to try it tomorrow!

[@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

[@Rui-MK2]

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 🙏🏾

[@omikerso]

I landed my first ollie today thank you so much

[@robbys929]

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

[@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!

[@HydraTheAstroCat]

Ty got my first Ollie right after watch this vid

[@Explodingtv6Q]

Finally, a video that doesn’t repeat the same shit for 30+ minutes and actually gives different and useful advice

[@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

[@patrickthorpe6307]

This was an awesome vid for people learning to skate. When we were younger we all made the board pop and lift with one foot to learn how the back lift worked. This vid would of saved time 🤣

[@squidyking3506]

Yeees finally I was having so much trouble coz Braille and all tutorials just say to pop like just do it

[@padraigomaille5896]

Yoo thanks I was literally just looking for this lol Thank you great vid

[@sagingmilk]

I got a tiny ollie in 2days after getting comfy on the board bc of ur guys tutorial! I just need more confidence for bigger pops AAA ty!

[@Quixidion]

Emphasis on how you put your back leg. In your video of common beginner mistakes there is the part about ollies going in a fs position. I can't tell you enough, how helpful it was to understand to pop the tail with basically only your toes and not with a part of your foot. This also leads to a better pop, but it made all the difference, no more fs ollies. Thank you very much!

[@johnthomas2877]

This video is the key! All the other videos left This part out. Damn them!

[@somerandomperson3970]

3:24 ^ Most important part. If your board doesn't fly up like that when you pop it, you wouldn't be able to do a good ollie

[@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 🔥💯🔥.
