Learning to Ollie (29) Part 25

[chknjo]

try gettin lower to the ground

[skasnipe1123]

put your front foot closer to the middle of the board and your back foot closer to the middle of the tail pop your tail and slide your front foot up the board but remember to keep your front foot your toes should be inline with the edge of the board and try to land on the bolts

[hollywoodsinc]

try staying on your toes more to prevent you from tipping your board like a kickfil in the middle of a ollie

[echo0x]

o crap u are actulay close just keep ur shoulders straigth then not go to fast

[scottdouglas79]

U think I'm going to fast? I heard that from some other people but I thought speed helps you get air?

[skateMARCOskate96]

its harder to land

[siaotong9]

@scottdouglas79 speed helps ypu.. bt not to get more air... but to pass the lenght of your bord and the gap..

[Comonguysdontbemad]

a few tips.

1) your feet are on the bolts, move your foot off the bolts and just abit below hm for starting ollies.

2) when your poping you keep turning your shoulders, Try and keep your shoulders 100% straight.

3) About your pop again your kicking i but not jumping, To kick it and jump higher bend your knees more. Key to land high ollies bend your knees as you land it to.

Last never get scared or nervous, I dont even like to look at the board I know what my feet do already.

[scottdouglas79]

Thats where i want to get is to the point where i don't have to think about it and just do it

[Comonguysdontbemad]

Well then just commit :D

And you seem to be very commited by making all these videos so just keep it up buddy.

[inline4life12]

you r like going looosey gooosey on the boaard you have to try and keep it stuck to ur feet ten it will stay centered

hope this helps

[scottdouglas79]

Thanks for the advice bro!

[sk8sheff]

you need to when u pop the board keep ur foot in the center that is y ur board is spinning and also when u move ur foot up theboard start it just behind the bolts cos its all bout lvling out and if u hit the nose u lvl out alot easyer

[scottdouglas79]

Yeah, instead of pointing my front foot forward it should be more sideways sliding up so the board doesn't slide out left or right?

[ENJOIskateboards11]

Bend your knees a lot more

[ZomgitsEddie]

I sometimes have troubles with things like this. Try going slow just on flatland and land a couple ollies, once your confident enough try going slow at the curb

[eternitysk8team]

suck your feet up more but make sure you have control, and stop turning stay over the board, just practice!!

[magick001]

for sum reason i can't help but watch ure damn saga, slow down, goin way too fast here, crouch properly man cuz u wanna spring up so u need load power from the crouch, ure pop is not strong enough, u must commit otherwise theres no point of u repeating the same mistakes over and over and ....ect u gotta change ure technique, watch pros and copy there form, u can't do it half assed, jump off the tail for real cuz u dnt wanna still be learning ollie in video 35

[skaterford]

try moving your front foot more in the middle it is just over the bolts :P

[woodlandfox01]

your not bending your knees enough you need to go a lot lower.

[scottdouglas79]

Really? I'll fix that, thanks!

[671rAsTaGuAmBoI4LyPh]

you are going pretty fast...

but here's a thought

on that curb or another one like it

see if you can pop RIGHT before the curb and get your back wheels to bonk off of it. that should bring your tail up and level out your ollie. once you got that into grass you can do it up curbs... and eventually better ollies

[scottdouglas79]

Thats the goal. I figure that doing them here is safer, and since I have no fear of hurting myself here, I should stay here till they are really consistant and good.

[skateMARCOskate96]

u are going to fast

[smallintestine]

HOW the hell do you make so many videos so often!!!! jesus christ, with the record thing, that was well cool ha ha. your an amazing video maker has to be said. you are approaching that ledge at SPEEDDD i would be far too scared ha ha. i picked up my speed trying to ollie today, but i was noway going that fast. i guess i wasnt trying to ollie over a ledge like that. keep it up, your definetely getting somewhere.

[scottdouglas79]

I actually took broadcasting for 4 years in high school. I've been making amateur movies for like 15 years. Back then there wasn't really any computer programs like movie maker and stuff. I've been working on some ideas for future videos so stay tuned lol

[smallintestine]

ahhhh that explains alot,

no wonder your so good then.

ha ha ha,

i check youtube daily to see if youve got any new videos on,

so no need to worry about me staying tuned.
