How to Ollie Higher than your Friends - Skateboard Street

[@crowdsurferx]

This is so true. If I don't feel confident in my ollies, than I don't feel comfortable doing 90% of the tricks I can already do. Your ollies are what give you confidence and power

[@SKATEiQ]

I wholeheartedly agree. How are we gonna build on something with skateboarding being as scary as it is… We have to feel comfortable

[@4sername]

than?

[@yunusjagot3673]

Hey Mitchie, Beginner 28 year old skater here from the UK. Your attention to detail and ability to correct your students is incredible! Keep up the great work! Love your videos man - super helpful! Thanks Yunus

[@SKATEiQ]

[@anthonydinatale9904]

This guy is such a gem. So patient and skillful. Discovered him after Braille shut down. Hopefully he's not a scientologist *cough* Aaron Kyro *cough*

[@SheepYT]

would love a simple "how to do a ollie for begginers" video from you

[@skatehiphop_fb]

Check his shorts for Ollie. Great and short explanation

[@PotionSeller369]

[@cjreed2090]

This dude is a genius at explaining every detail in a single aspect of skating thanks so much

[@SKATEiQ]

Thank you! im happy you are enjoying the content!

[@uffu2490]

Riding switch helps in terms of understanding the correct balance point. 🙏🏻 Think about it. You HAVE to balance on your toes (both feet) so, the more comfortable you are skating switch, the more likely you are to balance correctly and, hence, pop higher. Regardless, your explanations are the best out there. 🙏🏻

[@SuperDoctorprofessor]

You talk about skating in a way that is so, so helpful. Mitchie, thank you! Keep posting!

[@Green1up]

Dude your videos are so helpful and inspiring thank you from a 36 year old skater getting back on the board

[@SKATEiQ]

Perfect! Great to hear

[@deez_gainz]

This content is so useful! Do you think you can make a video on backside 180s?

[@alanalso]

Yes please. I struggle to get that full rotation. I do more of a twist were my torso doesn’t fully follow my feet.

[@SKATEiQ]

It’s exporting now

[@蕭立宏-u7b]

I feel so lucky to find your channel. I saw few pro skaters share their own technique actively and precisely. I just skate 2.5 yrs and after applying those trick tips you gave, I found them improve my tricks so well. I now struggle with mini ramp tricks, and I wonder if you can make a series of tutorials about mini ramp tricks for beginners? I will be super appreciate it.

[@SKATEiQ]

Hey yeah, so we launched a Patreon with 170+ videos on it covering flat ground and vert. But were updating it monthly with new courses and the mini ramp course will be on there soon. Either 1 or 2 months from now most likely

[@蕭立宏-u7b]

@@SKATEiQ Thanks🙏

[@bobbybottleservice1027]

@SKATEiQ you’re a natural teacher and I have no doubt this channel will grow a lot

[@primitivearthtech]

facts this is exactly what i do to warm up every single time i skate too- as well as dif variations of ollies like fakie and half cabs… throw in some mannys and it’s a warmup i can’t skate without & it absolutely helps to build consistency throughout your skating

[@Reyflatt]

Ha at 48 years old "do my legs feel weak?" Yes sir. But this channel has already helped in relearning. I never thought of this stuff when I was 13.

[@johndrinkwater2506]

This guy is an awesome teacher. Loving his vids

[@radarshak3092]

I started skating at 26, i am 28 now and my ollies are almost knee high. Next is 180 Ollies. 😁Thanx for the tips man. You really help me a lot.

[@SKATEiQ]

That’s great. You got this! If you get stuck on your 180s we have backside, frontside, and half cabs on our Patreon. Plus like 170 videos in total

[@sgodfrey73]

I wasn't expecting to see Nobel Park Skatepark south of Melbourne 🤪

[@joelfloresjr4292]

man i need to learn how to ollie like this

[@atlas420]

If all of your friends take turns watching this video over and over again you may be able to have a picnic on the moon together someday.

[@ForgiveYourMomma]

I love this dude ❤

[@Jan123.]

That skatepark is beautiful.

[@Jaden-ui1jl]

can you do a video on popping ollie’s on ramps

[@ThrashinHD]

Is this gonna be like a program/series? Honestly this is what I wanted skate skool to be back then lol 😂

[@SKATEiQ]

Yeah, this is from our free ebook, a 20 video series we did. you can click the link in the description and watch all of them in order

[@ThrashinHD]

@@SKATEiQ haha crazy timing just had first vert day today using your series I plan on continuing to watch and use it for these next coming months

[@SKATEiQ]

oh great!!!@@ThrashinHD let me know how you like it. were definitely open to feedback so we can make sure were putting the right content out for you guys

[@Jonifico]

Hey, man! Could you please make a video on how to Ollie for beginners? I know there's a million out there but nobody talks about this like you. Y'know, common mistakes, how to think about it, etc.? Could help a lot of folks and help you get really out there bc everybody searches that

[@SKATEiQ]

Yes. We have a full ollie course on patreon.com/skateiq there are 85+ videos on the channel and we update it with new content every month !

[@Jonifico]

@@SKATEiQ thanks bro, I'll check it out. I love your content!!! 🛹

[@SKATEiQ]

@@Jonifico thank you! Trying to bring as much quality content as we possibly can

[@Sharky-y6s]

Can you make a video to fix rocket Ollie’s or do u have any tips

[@laggerwerks710]

Can you do a video showing feet placement, and are they in the same position as when you Ollie up a bank vs flat ground or do you adjust? I can stomp a good Ollie standing still but I always psych myself out when I try to gap something or Ollie onto a ledge or manny pad. I really want to do this 6 stair at my local but my feet placement is preventing me.

[@SKATEiQ]

I instead of thinking about that too much I would focus on getting your Ollie’s high and not stopping down on the ground too fast. It sounds like you have trouble getting into the air and floating for a while more than foot placwmwnt

[@GoSkateLouisa]

Thank you!! man you are a skaters trick encyclopedia 🙏 (yeah I'm over 40 ha)

[@SKATEiQ]

Oh man, love the over 40 club! lotta you guys in here!!

[@GoSkateLouisa]

@@SKATEiQ we are everywhere and all teaching our kids. Passing the torch is the best 🤙

[@JesseeJames-uv8fi]

I weigh 220. Idk if that’s why my Ollies are so low. I record myself and it looks like my hips are about as high as they can be but I’m only getting a 12 inch Ollie maybe a little more if I pop perfectly. So frustrating.

[@TheRealWarez]

Film yourself jumping as high as you can from the standing position, without a skateboard... don't forget to suck your knees up into your chest... the height of your feet off the ground is, at a minimum, how high you can ollie. At a minimum. Remember, it's about getting your feet as high above the ground as possible, not your head. I weigh 240 and I'd guess on average can go 2.5 feet high, from standing... granted, that's me putting all my energy into it lol. A comfortable, leveled out 12" ollie is a thing of beauty and skill though, so even if for some reason that's as high as you ever get your flat ground ollie, that's more than enough to do any flat ground trick your heart desires.

[@JesseeJames-uv8fi]

@@TheRealWarez yea I’ve done that too and had my friend also pause their hand at the highest point of where my feet were and that’s about all I got lol. But if that’s decent then sweet. My buddy says tells me that’s not high then proceeds to Ollie 2-2.5 feet and I get irritated.

[@LuLzezRoflcopter]

Warming up those hip flexor muscles 😊 super important muscle when raising your legs like this

[@SKATEiQ]

It’s insane how much they get overworked skating

[@davidcinco6283]

Im goofy foot but only feel comfortable doing pops regular

[@mrSPEEDCASKET]

I learn something everytime I click on this guy

[@worriesinthedance]

Hi, just tried to access the kickflip practice video link but it is flagged private?

[@SKATEiQ]

Hey thanks for the heads up we’re working on it now

[@SKATEiQ]

I found the issue. it should be fixed, let me know if it works now! sorry about that. were dealing with lots of content behind the scenes and it got moved from untitled accidentally and destroyed the link (temporarily hopefully) if it doesnt work, just respond to this comment and we will make sure you have access tomorrow

[@worriesinthedance]

the link works now, thanks!@@SKATEiQ

[@realdopewater]

Thanks I enjoyed this. Do you have a full straight Ollie tutorial? Been working on mine but feeling a bit stagnant.

[@SKATEiQ]

Yes we do. We just uploaded a full course onto Patreon!

[@32srt32]

why does your wheels sound like they have flat spots?

[@RoteSteinchen]

Everyone: making video how to ollie I: need a video „how to stand on a board without causing it’s movement and not falling off it“

[@DanielGonzalez74543]

Where is this park located?

[@sgodfrey73]

Nobel Park South of Melbourne Australia

[@dolphinitely_bro3944]

That flatspot

[@rat183]

What park is this?

[@SKATEiQ]

Noble park in Australia

[@denvermadison9052]

Pop an Ollie now I’m sweating!!!

[@infeza3255]

hey i know this park! Noble Park in Melbourne!

[@SKATEiQ]

Yes exactly !

Bottom line, hips are more important than knees.

[@keelo-byte]

My frienda are.. pretty damn high.

if you are aaron homokis friend. dont bother with this video lol

[@pietrol4449]

TRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

[@YouilAushana]

Shits lame. Keep the competition to the toxic sports. We should all enjoy Ollie's together and if someone is higher. Good for them. If they _need_ to be higher than me. They could use some deep shadow work with a qualified professional or their ambitious single mother can kick rocks

[@SKATEiQ]

took it a bit literal eh

[@YouilAushana]

​​​​@@SKATEiQi know its a goof. While I got your attention do a video about effortless airs over hips. People can get trippy for sure and there is plenty of collateral damage from unapologetic oblivious actions. Especially, after tons of trauma and abuse. We all didn't get skate camps and coaches. So, back off!

[@walterkaiyuenpang3556]

I already ollie higher than my friends..... I have no friends 😅🫒
