The KEYS to SKATING NOLLIE!

Tom blessing us with the keys! 🔑

[@paquedogotsomethrax]

yew!

[@Jaydawg01]

How many followers would it take for you to send out a care package

[@blaiseanddestroy]

Hey santa cruz bless me with a pokemon skateboard

[@lvt8studio]

Tom paving the way and dropping gems for future buttery skaters 🧈

[@SolaRDare]

You can say that again!

[@drippyscratchcat]

I feel like most pros or advanced skaters can't really empathize enough with skaters that are less advanced and be able to explain the way a trick is done (for the less advanced skaters.) You really have a terrific ability to logically think these tricks through and also communicate exactly what needs to be done to learn and/or improve on a trick. That's definitely not a skill that most pros have. They're just like "just pop hard, jump, slide, land." Lol. As if we didn't already KNOW that. You really have found a hidden talent as a teacher/coach. SO glad you're doing REAL trick tips.

[@osdhockey2388]

agreed! tryna get myself back into skating and get all my tricks back and these help me remember for sure!

[@nicorar07]

This KZbin channel is one of the best things that ever happend to skateboarding THANK YOU MR.ASTA

[@joerodriguez1797]

50 yr old here, it can be done!!!Thank you for great tips!!! I'm finally getting em down...over da cracks My backside noliies 180 are starting to come through aswell 🙌

[@OldManSkateboards]

Nice. Nollie anything is tough. Just started bs nollie 180s myself. Keep it up!

[@noahdavis327]

I loved watching the process of the nollie front nose on the rail. It’s fun to watch you put yourself in uncomfortable situations because that’s what I’m doing when I’m learning. It’s relatable

[@noahhcams]

That was sick

[@dookieshoes66]

Nollie back 180 is such a fun trick thanks for showing it some love Tom 🙏

[@Kallum]

11:35 god damn this is a perfect example of how skating a ledge nollie should look like, absolute buttery perfection

[@STEEL4122]

Tom has started quickly becoming my favorite skater (know he’s been around awhile but quit skating for years & just got back the last 2 years). A fellow Pennsylvanian too 🤘🏻

[@ThatSrb2DUDE]

Appreciate your in-depth thought process on how you go about nollie skating Thanks a lot tom!

[@ericraedel1181]

Took me forever to get nollie tricks that weren't flatground. It's so much more difficult but it's rewarding when you get nollie tricks, personal fav of mine is nollie frontside nosegrind. Hell yeah, love the in-depth look at it! Your perspective definitely helps, sick vid, Tom!

[@Hermitant10]

Could I get some support on my nollie heelflips pls bro. I know theres really not much to it besides your basics like flick and timing. But there’s always a step I could be missing

[@Phillyflippin]

@@Hermitant10don’t leave until you get 50 and just repeat til it gets easier

[@kfnly]

Tom doing the lord's work

[@wysrthvnu]

Hell yeah this is exactly what I needed, been trying to finally get my nollie game up to speed for the last 3 months or so

[@joedent3323]

This is good Tom. I found, personally, that trick-tips were never in-depth enough for me; they didn't address techniques-within-the-technique, as you do, with them often being a non-explanation, along the lines of : "set your feet up; do the trick; and ride away". Your videos are far more detailed an in-depth than anything I had when I was learning to skate back in '99. I appreciate the constant rolling explanations and watching your thinking an explanations evolve as the videos progress. Keep up the good work man 👊 Ps: I grew up learning with the 411VM "The Basics of Skateboarding" (1999) and that thing was definitely lacking in some of the (non-) explanations I mentioned above. What I did appreciate was the filming and the host of varied characters presenting each trick: Vallely teaches manuals; Muska teaches how to set up your deck, etc. It's up here on KZbin if you haven't seen it. It'll be of interest to any skater of any level with an interest or fondness of that era, I'm sure (even if that interest stems only from how badly non-prepared an anti-professional nearly every one of the skaters seems!). Cheers Tom. ...Joe...

[@lukasboraski2729]

This man's warm ups would be the best day skating at the park for me. Maybe just skating cause I miss the homies and had some sessions ill never forget. When you were talkin about peripheral vision skating. Thats huge. Cause me most of us look down especially for flip in stuff to see if our feet are correct. By then you look back up and your to late. I would say definitely practice your foot position more then never to get comfort and consistency. Also really pay attention to whats going on. Somethin I did which would turn me to freak out mode is not break down what im doing. Minor tweaks and angles can make a huge difference. Tom once again killin it

[@NoxiousPond]

I very much appreciate this. I almost gave up on kickflips so I've been getting my nollies dialed in better.

[@Mathertron]

Love that this is actually good advice. I grew up LMAOing at trick tips on 411 or TW vids etc. Just pop, then flick - no shit! the aspect of speed when doing nollie stuff is actually great advice!

[@TheRealWarez]

I learned for me to nollie/fakie I have to pop about as fast as I can, especially over a hip or into a grind/slide. Over a hip or some kind of transition it requires absolute precision with the timing. And there's no lazy popping a nollie like you can get away with when popping regular... at least in my experience. Thanks for the video Tom! You tha GOAT! ✌

[@bassyey]

You pretty much covered everything, wow. Great teacher!

[@scottieskatan4219]

I'm an old 46'r getting back to the old tricks love your videos great vibes and explaining how to do shit again ,big fan waiting for the OZ tour to see you and the SC Team shred in person ,keep on killing it cobba... .....

[@annihilatedrums]

Thx again for the pro tips Tom!! The tips on angles, weight distribution, and where to look/ tilt your head are so crucial, thanks for covering all this 👊

[@helmutdschulnigg5798]

Tom you are a master of your craft and i could watch you skate all day long. Straigth fire and perfection! Also your tutorials speak out of my mind with 27 years experience on the board. When i was really young (around 15-16) i tweaked my left ankle (regular footed) really hard and couldnt skate regular for a long time. So i focused on switch and nollie. That was a good decision for in my skateboarding future. I was able to ride all stances since then and had more fun. Sadly i tore my ligaments when i was in my early twenties and since that day i wasnt barely able anymore to flick my regular kickflips anymore. So i improved my switch and nollie again and since then nollie and switch are like my regular riding. Some tricks like nollie bs and fs 180s and flips are much easier than the regular ones for me. Its crazy. Keep on the great work!

[@MudMargera]

I like how tom talks down to us like he should

[@jamponyexpress7956]

I wonder- some people say a nollie is popped off the nose with a slight forward angle downward (as opposed to straight down on the tail with a regular ollie). It seems to help.

[@Jasonlimitless]

Me as a beginner thinking this would help me skate nollie and Tom goes straight into talking about nollie crook nollie heel 😂 he's too good

[@DaanSkate]

Thanks for the video! Now I can finaly learn nollie crooked and noseslide

[@davidhernandez7190]

This is very helpful. Thanks for the tips

[@s.magnevik]

Love the series, thx for this! How do you keep yourself young and intact? Warm up, stretches, other form of training? Maybe you could do a video on it? I'm 30+ and I've skated for 20+ years now and it's taking it's toll. I'm battling an inflamed Achilles (built up over time) by doing 45 min 3 times a week workout (doctors orders).

[@Magoroni]

Thank you!!! will def incorp these in my daily skatin' lovin the longer vids that allow u to be more in depth with the topic of the video,

[@stevenparisio5669]

It's about time you put a new vid. You make skateboarding look cool! SERIOUSLY!

[@OldManSkateboards]

Nollie is tough. I just learned nollie bs 180 on my channel. My straight nollie always wants to turn backside. Pushing the board forward and through it makes a lot of sense. My fakie ollies don't turn and I was trying to think of my nollie like it was switch fakie lol. Nollie backside 180 just kind of made sense. Love the vids.

[@Jinn-y2u]

yeah for me my nollie is pretty trash but I can nollie BS 180 high for some reason and do nollie shuvs easy makes no sense lol

[@Bruised_heels]

Super helpful! When you explained the nollie nose it makes so much sense even for fakie tail slides. I’ve been battling fakie tail heelflip out, so hard to land back to fakie! My speed just stops when I land ! This makes so much sense though Tom 🤝

[@ryanlawson3063]

Dude!!!! Your switch skating is on point!!! I’d love to see a switch video!!!! Asta!!!!! You are the man. And by far my favorite skater!! Keep doing you man!!! Love your videos. Thank you!!

[@tomasta]

THANKS ! check this one if you havent already ! but i should get a new one out soon ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2Ssn4N6oNqtrsksi=CfNiiHg9B9Jut0MC

[@ryanrowe1975]

Nollie crooked grind to setting up on the board and separating from timing the practicing of speed and momentum!

[@dylburt49]

that 76er's hat goes hard. It's funny though, I was starting to emphasize my nollies. Thanks for the great video!

[@dom385]

I needed this so badly, I’m horrible nollie thank you so much!

[@nicholasdesanta]

Yea tom, love to see every stance video.

[@cjchavez19]

Been working on my nollies and i think this gave me some good perspective. Good timing. Thanks

[@gabrielherrera4643]

Hyped we got to hangout at pushing for pink. Keep doing your thing my g 👊🏽💯

[@toddwareham]

Great video. Nollies feel so smooth once you get used to the pop. I like to do them into banks or over a frames.

[@AlexNiedt]

Your tip videos are so good. Thank you, Tom! 🙏🏻

[@dneck]

thanks for all the tips!

[@ChefeOnions]

That asta Wawa deck is sick!! Also thanks for the tips! 👊🏽🤙🏽

[@AlexProspect]

Sick Tom. I got my Nollie heels back today so this is great timing video. I'll try the pushing forward technique you mention tomorrow. Thanks

[@aftertheburial420]

All facts here! Nollie over things is sooo hard. like you said you gotta pop and carry it an extra boards length. danggg i think approaching slowly on nollie noseslides really helps. just to get the motion.

[@RedVelvetUnderground333]

U can see ppl basically shifty it when they do it over stuff, looks sick

[@cromag_jetlag9079]

Nollie 5-0's look sick dude!

[@helmutdschulnigg5798]

One of my favourite tricks. 😉I love doing them fs and bs. 😌

[@lucaslum7809]

Thanks for this, I have been on my switch and nollie grind for a while now. Hopefully this video got some good tips for me.

[@ElementWTF]

love this channel ! thank you for sharing this year long experience and tips ❤

[@tomasta]

THANKS !

[@jonathan2212]

Perfect timing! I’ve been struggling w nollies for weeks😂

[@holo6858]

dude just found your channel and I'm so suprised at the quality info you give as well as your camera angles and editing. Good shit bro you earned my sub

[@ryonmcdermott6087]

Great tips from one of the best pros. Thanks Tom Asta for making these videos!

[@youngtaiahn]

I've got nollie front nose and nollie nosegrind, but can't get back nose and nollie crook. It feels so much harder to get into for some reason. Favorite flat bar trick is nollie back lip. They're so easy to get into but feel cool. Thanks for making this video.

[@nathandoyon8236]

Keep the videos coming tom we love them! ❤

[@thisismusic5105]

I’m really comfortable with nollies, I can nollie over curbs, noseslides, 50s and 5-0s, but as soon as I try to nollie flip over or up something - *Bonk* every time 😂

[@wilbert-oppegard]

I love this video bro, so helpful!!! thank you

[@ElPresidenteBuzzard]

Tom really about to take over this youtube shit! I love it! How the turns have tabled.

[@scottpatterson3491]

Im loving the videos and seeing more of you!! Explanations and fun session videos 💪🏽 great for the young ones as well

[@atypical_blk_guy]

Man I really needed this video. When I try nollie nose stalls I tend to be very heavy on my popping foot so board doesn't level out properly.

[@marioortegask8]

Great breakdowns always! Thanks Tom!

[@massimomendola183]

Yo Tom, you are literally the best skateboarding channel out there I appreciate you greatly, thank you!

[@shiftymcfly]

Definitely want the 🔑 s to the other stances

[@DanielKhuu]

This was a great video, Tom. Thank you! The stance video was a great video, and you took it in a good direction

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU !

[@SkateAndExplore817]

Your nollies are so smooth. Great video.

[@adepietropolo2081]

i’ve been waiting for a vid on nollie tricks for so long, thanks tom!

[@itsyaboi_hafiz]

thank you for the tips tom🔥🔥🔥🙏🏻

[@bushwickerman]

i neglected my nollie n switch for years and years. past week i forced myself to land at least 1 switch flip everyday. nollie flips on the list.

[@ticoskate]

Dude your making really good content ! Keep up 🔥👌🏼

[@joshwhaley1778]

Literally the best!!! THX TOM!!!!!

[@krookedskatr1211]

thank you for these videos💫

[@Zephyrian1st]

Tom Blesses the flock with the keys to success we must not take such kindness in vein. Actual advice i actually i need to actually progress, Tom Asta is out here for the grinders. 6-9rs

[@ImArtfulLee]

it's very helpful! Thanks a lot!

[@raphaelkobein3575]

Tom you’re videos are constantly helping me improve my skating! Thanks a lot mate :)

[@tomasta]

i love to hear that ! THANKS for watching !

[@tomsalguero7060]

Gold keys ! Thanks Tom, you are a legend, pure style and teck. Your videos are a big help for learning new tricks !

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU!

[@isaiahdray]

Thanks coach! You make me want to learn more

[@MooseManGuyDude]

Tom is the real mvp

[@ZeroLovesPC]

theres something almost calming about hearing a pro say something is scary

[@aaronmaxey6389]

The biggest thing I figured out on the nollie is that you don’t have to pop it that hard you kind of just thrust your hips into the nose

[@STATERECALLMUSIC]

His first demo nollie was like the best looking nollie I've ever seen.

[@amc202]

The content I literally asked for 🤝🏽

[@marcmartinez8233]

This video is so sick!!! I love skating switch and some tricks like heelflips work better for me switch than regular. When I nollie my front foot always comes off the board a little bit. Any advise to keep that from happening?

[@KeithSkates]

I swear, Tom needs to start doing paid advanced skate coaching. Even figuring out a way to tie in live stream split-screen FaceTime with the people he's helping.

[@tomasta]

Great idea Keith ! could be a move in the future !

[@Erik-748]

Man, those nollies are massive! Thanks for the tips!

[@theanti-come]

I've been skating for 14 years but neglected learning nollie/switch until recently. Even when I am having the worst session and nothing is working, just popping a nollie flip turns everything around.

[@levibinladen]

i love skating nollie- almost every trick i’ve learned in the last year was nollie

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Great teaachinggg dude!!!!!!

[@Wavefolders]

thx, bro...really helpful tutorial!

[@bombsquid6436]

Been struggling with nollies in all my skating years. I'll try getting more on the back truck like you say :)

[@jessejamesb]

The key for me was breaking my ankle on my back foot. Luckily it happened at the end of winter so it was easier to stay off my board. At first I could only roll around and hold nose manny .. then I could only take off and land with my weight forward. After 18 years (at the time) skating, I went from barely being able to nollie curb height to being able to do it knee height in 4-6 months. So maybe a tip for the young ones is to start doing it earlier than later, switch too. Keeps your body more balanced.

[@taranmehta6356]

Appreciate it. Getting back into skating. Just relearnt kf hf etc, gonna skate switch more. My sw front shuv is popped so high but I can hardly skate switch at all. Going to dedicate 2 days of the week. Maybe even 3

[@jessejamesb]

@@taranmehta6356 good on ya dude. just learning to push switch naturally even has its merits. Now 23 years in at 38 years old, it allows me to skate longer. I use my switch push as first gear and body varial into regular as I charge the park. Got that damn chronic tendentious.

[@expolopez5172]

Just when I’m practicing nollie that’s crazy

[@Notblakewilson]

Watching this again and would love a switch vid if you haven’t made one already, I can switch flip/heel and switch front 180 but my switch Ollie’s and Nollie’s are awful, I know I need to practice it more but it just feels so foreign and I don’t have a ton of time to skate so I want to make the most of it and practice the proper technique so I don’t have to break bad habits later.

[@donut5718]

amazing stuff

[@arkarian07]

great video, you should do a video explaining Nollie flips

[@tomasta]

im down ! THANKS for watching !

[@JinxMarie1985]

What's up Tom! I have your slims still looking brand new, you're my favourite skater!!

[@eggjones6039]

Park looks amazing

[@sk8mafia214]

My favorite Nollie trick is nollie heelflip. Watched a lot Kevin Romar and Antwan Dixon during my time in High School

[@maurcoy]

Favorite video so far!

[@tomasta]

my dawg!

[@Carlossteezyblunts]

Just ordered a Epic Water Filter bottle, thanks for the code ! I'm really looking forward to it lol

[@tomasta]

LETS GO ! i appreciate your support!

[@breakcorebill]

Is that Kelly Hart on your T-shirt 😂

[@tomasta]

actually no haha does look like him though! THANKS for watching !

[@lorainebraddock9808]

For nollie crooks it helps me to have front foot more closer to the edge, but on flat the pocket really is key

[@493PLAYA]

i think its crazy how different we all are, i always prefer 2 skate bumps nollie and dont like em regular, cause the way till the board reach the snap spot feels way quicker as regular

[@campbloodkilla]

Best channel to learn from

[@tomasta]

Glad to hear that! THANKS for watching !
