Ain't this the truth. Spent all my teen and early 20s not even knowing how to properly Ollie. Would be proud to get half a foot off the ground. After trying these methods I can honestly say I've landed a 2.5 ft Ollie. ( Not the greatest accomplishment to some people but I am beyond happy with it!) Thanks @SkateIQ

I feel that. I must've spent weeks straight back in the day trying to drag my foot in the garage and essentially just kicking the board out from under me before I was given the advice of "just jump and you'll naturally 'slide' a bit." Even that was a bit reductive and took a ton of trial and error to eventually understand what this guy was able to put down in 15 seconds, lmao.

@@beatles42ohgg94 did you attack how others are learning instead of doing a “yes and” approach? If you’re starting out shooting down all the effort they’ve put in on a practice technique they aren’t going to listen when you give them tips. Someone told me I was practicing Ollie’s wrong awhile ago since I started by practicing dragging my foot across. But that method literally taught me how to Ollie. Some techniques are stepping stones and if you pretend like they are useless then people who have used that stepping stone successfully won’t trust you to take tips from.

Key word the “SLIDE comes”. To say it’s not necessary to do an Ollie is just incorrect. Like your foot slides it’s plain as day and you saying it’s a by product def means it’s a necessary component of the Ollie haha. I’ll give you it may be easier to teach by way of not having them focus on the slide, but you definitely need to slide your food to properly level it out and get a nice Ollie we all know this hahaha.

Bro... I was lied to. When I was 15, my buddies were ollying and trying to explain like, "slam the tail to the ground, jump, and slide your front foot up the board," but I never got it, and gave up. This video, and the one where you said you should never hit the ground with the tail when you ollie, have literally changed how I think about it. Screw it. I might be fat, but Im buying a board. I'm gonna land a damned ollie.

When you will get a board? You gotta land it soon and you will land a shuvit couple days later!🙌🏽 Those 2 tricks did unlock the Passion , it's better than meditation 💯

@snareplug3872 ordered one yesterday bro. Should be here by Weds. Dude, if I could land a shuvit, I'll be beside myself. My dream just is to be able to land kickflip. That'd be so cool
