Wakeskate Ollie Lesson (Snap)

[86Blessed86]

how hard do you have to pre-pop it before you snap your backfoot?? cheers

[dudufigueiredo]

@86Blessed86 This varies on the intensity you want your olie to be! Make it smooth, use your feeling..

[luke1the3duke]

one thing i think that NEEDS to be stated is KEEP YOUR FEET WIDE! the first thing your gonna want to do is ollie like a skateboard with your front foot back. wrong. you dont want your feet too wide just enough to give you room

[Zhoff0246]

how hard is it, in comparison to ollie-ing on a skateboard?

[dudufigueiredo]

@Zhoff0246 i consider it to be the easiest one.. more smooth moves..

Thanks man imma try this tonight just got a wakeskate yesterday :D

[skim4lf]

is there a special grip tape for wake skates than sk8boarding grips?

[dudufigueiredo]

@skim4lf Nope.. just use a good one, but Jessup makes it on a special wakeskate size! (16 inch wide)

[skim4lf]

@dudufigueiredo thanks alot man

[SoakTheSins]

can you do this barefooted on a foam wakeskate like the 2010 Anthem? Cause thats what I have.

[volcom8208]

hey look who knows what hes talking about!

[jordnthoms]

thanks a ton man!

i tried the wake skate yesterday and i just spun around on top of the water.

today when i went out, i felt much more comfortable.

that tip about lifting the back foot was crucial.

[1996riparks]

if u tried a skateboard ollie would tht work 2?

[dudufigueiredo]

yeah.. sure.... much easier!

[1996riparks]

thanks

[dudufigueiredo]

@1996riparks Yeah, sure.. the same moves..

[skim4lf]

each time i ollie i fall on my front foot land first to make me fall any tips?

[joelanator92]

I havn't tried on a wakeskate yet, but if its anything like skateboarding, you just want to think about bringing the board up to both feet evenly while your in the air.

You need control of the board befor you land rather than landing and than getting control.

or maybe your worried about not getting the back of the board up and so your leaning too far forward.

I'm not exactly sure since i havn't had a chance to try on a wakeskate, but i do skateboard alot so hopefully its similar.

Good explain for beginners and pros ! thanx man.

Damn good high olli

[dvaifilmsdotcom]

i learned an ollie on my own, but what i did was i pushed down on my front foot which made the skate sink a bit, because its buoyant the skate comes upward giving you the pop. THAN i do what he says and lift your back foot.

it works for me.

[Pananda]

[wakedavid]
