[flubberdoggy]

i feel like nova lol, i get it perfectly the first time and cant get it very well the rest.... :( sadface

[flubberdoggy]

im a beginner and cause i got some balls i tried to ollie as high as i can, and amazingly i landed a perfect ollie, but now i try to do it and my backfoot cant seem to find the board lol its like i slide it away or something, it always lands on the side of the board, any tips?

[hassanw14]

I figured this out instantly I won thousands of dollars Bcuz of that guy awesome vid

[MultiButtholes]

is he a goofy or is the camera is just mirrored

[skatebords88]

so hard to learn

[SgtFreido]

I didn't get to finish my other comment but to any begginers I suggest to do this while hanging on to something. Hoped this helped.BTW good vid :)

[SgtFreido]

I have an easier way. You don't have to slide your foot. You simply put your front foot in the middle of the board, so half of your foot is hanging of. Your back foot goes in a tiptoe position to pop better and line up both of your feet. Pop the tail quickly and really hard and jump immediatly then your front foot kicks out but line it up and land on the front screws of your board. Your back foot should land on the back screws if done correctly. To any begginers out there I suggest to do this m

[TheWTFcakes]

[psphaxzor19]

@TenPointTerrifiying You obviously don't know what a meme is. (LOL)

[dragalator345]

i did my first ollie and got it! then when i landed i slid off and fell and my skateboard rolled on to the street. lol

[dragalator345]

[OpTicCupCaKes]

Thnx

[Levisome]

[wwfww]

edward norton anyone?

[Lordmode]

he explains good but clearly isn't very good at skating from the looks of that first ollie.

[animemefreak74]

I use to be a skater, just like you. but then I took an arrow to the knee...

[ninjakillers45]

@animemefreak74 are you the one that says that everywhere you go?? cuz i see that everwhere

[animemefreak74]

@ninjakillers45 dude... the arrow to the knee thing is a meme xD a lot of people say that.

[llamalover867]

im 18 and my 10 year old cuzing can do better than me

[epicnuclearfish21]

thanks!



[98MrTurtle]

Im too fat to skate..! D: but Im still tryin to learn (a)

[LoveYou9552]

I cant slid my foot. It just stays there. I need help!!

[animemefreak74]

@LoveYou9552 foot sliding may have to do with the shoes you're wearing. Casual flat toed vans are not good enough for skating. Make sure you're very careful about choosing shoes.

and also, make sure you're jumping. these tutorials don't ever talk about the jump. In a sense, i think of my jump as the pop. when I jump, that's what pops the board. then slide, and good. also, there'a s huge thing with weight when it comes to the foot slide. sometimes simply sliding your foot doesn't level the board.

[crazydude7749]

thumbs up if ur skateboard element bird house or dc

[samivot]

Ok, so i kind of jump and then as i'm going up i flick the tail, is that right? or do i press down on the tail and jump.. if that made sense...

[samivot]

I get how to do it..i just...i think it's the timing or something..this is so frustrating D:

[Sklider100]

keep your shoulders and body straight btw, otherwise u turn, dont worry if u dont get it, its taking me ages lol

[Taegenn]

it looks soooo easyyyyy. But I just can't do it.

[Hashir3091]

I have tried this before and I could but now I can't can anyone explain!

[EthernalSkateFilms]

How to how...

[OMGANDHI1]

@megatron2015 it also helps if u slightly lean foreword to balance in the air and as u land

[OMGANDHI1]

@megatron2015 when you slide ur foot make sure that it goes all the way up, not to just the from bolts

[Lastwatched]

omg -.- read description, it says that he has been skateboarding for more than 20 years!!!

[derkoyed]

very helpful :)

[Cr4zYlOl]

[2010skaterboyz]

[francis102699]

thumbs up if your watching this in 2011 B.C. on your iStone

[bood3e]

@francis102699 I'm watching this in 2012 B.C. on my iRock

[duncandonutsert]

@francis102699

2012 .b.c. here m8

[DolliLoxz]

Ive been trying to learn this for ages now and its soo frustrating. I can never fully pop it cause my other foot keeps holding it down, i dont know what to do ove watch soo many of these videos and nothing seems to help.

[jacamaca123]

i got 10 inches of the ground !! :D

[HepticSoulZz1993]

i cant get my back wheel of the ground

[TRICASTBLADE19]

@HepticSoulZz1993 the reason is that you might not jump with the board or your not sliding your front foot up. Also pop the tail down all the way.

[HepticSoulZz1993]

i do slide my foot up and i do pop it all the way and i do jump but it still dose not come up what do i have to do?

[animemefreak74]

@HepticSoulZz1993 you're not lifting up the back foot. This means you're popping, you may be sliding your foot off (maybe not) but you're not lifting up that foot. The back foot is suppose to go to the same height as the front foot.

I use to do this all the time. I then started to think of the ollie this way: it's not "Pop" then "jump," the jump is your pop. When you jump, you pop the board. Hope I helped. and if my thinking is incorrect, help me.

[HepticSoulZz1993]

so your telling me if i jump it otomaticly coms up

[TeDDiiiBeaRx]

what board do you have?;) + great video!

[choclets2]

It sucks how I can't do this.

I've been doing this for about 2 months now , then I stopped.

Then after a year I started again.

I could get the pop and slide part , I can do the ollie , but I just jump off >;[

[MrSuperman822]

ik how to ollie im just not landing idk whats going on

[TheBNRStudios]

what if while he was making this a car hit him? ha that would be funny

[GrandMasterJuan]

why doesn't anyone put some emphasis on the back foot =[ i found thats mainly my problem, the back foot should go up immidieatly as u pop

[wolfkid444]

Every time i attempt an ollie i get it in the air but whilst it's airborn it just spazzes out and i end up landing with one foot off the board and the front of it behind me, or something on those lines. Any help?

[TheLoCoMoTiOnz]

[animemefreak74]

[MsMare98]

[Diedhard]

@MsMare98 try not to put pressure on the back of your board after the pop and put a little on the front that was my problem with leveling the board and i got the ollie today :p

[MsMare98]

@Diedhard i every thing like him i pop i slide and i lift my back foot but i don't ollie really high about 14cm but iI've been trying it 1 month i finally learned it but for that i fucked up my wheel twice bu It's OK now :P

[ThatGoodBarbequ]

I can ollie pretty high but I can't seem to get my back foot back on the board. Any tips?

[calebwright111]

@ThatGoodBarbequ lean forward a little bit when your getting ready to ollie instead of leaning back or straight up.

[xxHardkorex]

I just ollied a ledge up ... i ended bruising my Knee and Elbow and scraping my knee

@BagheadGaming skateboarding was originally made by surfers, i think from Hawaii.. they called it "sidewalk surfing"

[blackballsofsteel]

@BagheadGaming White boys created anything involving wheels.

[has7543]

thanks

[AngryBird98]

EVERY TIME I POP I JUMP AND SLIDE MY FOOT BUT NOTHIN WORKS

BUT I DISCOVERED HOLDING ON TO A FENCE OR ANYTHING GIVE YOU A BETTER ADVANTAGE TO 2 DO A OLLIE I DID SO MANY TIMES I WAS SO HAPPY

[SHuffleHardDieTryinG]

@AngryBird98 you can also practice on ground with alot of small stones in order for yor board to not move, also grassy ground works.

[bluenitro4]

@AngryBird98 in addition to the previous reply, you could also try a carpeted area, or by placing your back wheels in a crack/seam in the ground (preferably cement)

[sneaky6578]

can you ollie if your fat and heavy

[19tim2]

is it easier to learn ollie when riding or when you stand still?

[Nickoz986]

he forgot to say jump

[driaslow]

@driaslow: yea i friggin love hotsteeze

[chrisgabenathanfrank]

@chrisyJ1 side of your foot

[Augustas05]

0:00 tutorial starts 0:00 its end

[ChrisyJ1]

It's like I can do it, but at the same time I can't. I lift off the ground, somewhat at least. But I know I'm not sliding my foot correctly. Do I slide my foot on the sole of my shoe or on the side ? Or does it not matter?

[MrPoppy32]

@ChrisyJ1 it does matter. using the side of your foot works waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than using the sole

[clmastergamer]

I can pop but no matter how hard I try I can't for the life of my slide my foot

[STINKFiX]

i cant slide my left foot,thats the problem...

[nikejalapeno]

@STINKFiX

try a different stance?
