Learning to Ollie (30) Part 33

[Tyzeedude]

for how long have u been skating?

[GradyRho92]

hey scott on my profile i just uploaded a close up ollie help video you should watch hope it helps

[scottdouglas79]

Okay, I worked on bending my knees and not my back today and am posting the results in Part 34 now. (Finally they are better)

[aiden5793]

great vid man keep em coming

i think the main problem is that you're bending your back rather than your knees, thats probably why you're not getting the hight as well as you could,

in my vids i seem to bend my knees to much lol but it helps me to get hight

[scottdouglas79]

Awesome, hows your skating going?

[aiden5793]

alright, hvnt had alot of practise, ITS STILL RAINING!! lol, i've never known it to rain for so long.

[Comonguysdontbemad]

Scott how is it going, its been a while since i have actualy had time to help you.

But this advise will help you if you just do it, when I started skating I was like 4 years old and all I did was ride my board around never did tricks I just road around.

Because of that I got the hang of board control and tricks just came quite ez to me over time. I have told people to do this one of my friends who started skating 2 years ago and guess what he rips now.

GL msg me so we can chat

[scottdouglas79]

Thanks bro!

Slide your foot in a more upwards diagonal direction rather than a straight upward direction.

Keep your shoulders straight to avoid the board turning under your feet.

Don't skate in converse =P

[scottdouglas79]

Thanks I'll try that

[dabombgod]

scott i learend to ollie 2 days ago its heavenlysk8ers little brother

[93doomy]

Looking good scott :)

As said before you need to bend your knees alot more.

[scottdouglas79]

Yeah i think my trucks were so loose that i was losing balance when bnding my knees down too low. I was also on unlevel ground and i felt like i was rolling away

[skateDT]

Hey man, I've been learning to ollie too the past couple of months, you're doing good. I remember my ollies would land to the side a lot too at first, so I tightened my trucks to see if it would help and I think it actually gives me better balance when landing. You should try it man because your trucks look very loose (which isn't bad, but I hear it's good to start tight when beginning) My ollies still need a lot of of work though lol.

[scottdouglas79]

Actually your right my trucks are very loose. I need to tighten them.

[MusicFreak1574]

when you're learning ollies they don't have to be high

[3flip5]

work on popping ur board and leaning forward just a little bit

hope i helpp!

[excaliburdennis2]

ok what i see is this: popping to high vs. jumping, and moving your front foot to the left. thats why your swinging the board behind you and why you cant level out your ollies as much as you should. you have to bring your back foot up higher when you jump that way if your trying to ollie over something you dont hit on the back trucks. other than that your doing better especially that you hurt your back and all.

keep up the good work bro and you'll get there in no time.

[jiaxing265]

Nice one bro. Bend ur knees a little more. like what u said in ur vid b4 u hurt ur back. U will be as good or better in no time!

[paulinbin360]

5 star.

[paulinbin360]

keep practicing...when you skate you have to really think about everything. like how much force your putting, how high you're jumping, how hard you're popping and all that. what ive noticed is that it really helps to look at your front foot the whole time to see if its sliding or doing what its supposed to do. thats how i started landing switch flips better.

[scottdouglas79]

I need to get better at sliding that foot, your right

[EnjoiLife222]

woah nice man i put up some new videos of me skating the mini mega you should check it out thats great that your finnaly better and skating again your doign really good

[saltysuicide]

you arent landing on the bolt which shows you that you arent sliding you foot up enough

but its coming along nicely dude keep it up!

[ProductionsPitBull]

but i think i will start it again i havent been skating for a month,but i can still do moving kickflips,heelflips and stuff

[scottdouglas79]

I was gonna say your way better then me u shouldnt quit

[helpmeskate111]

you almost have it dude! You've gotten really far. just slide your front foot up a little more. up to the nose. then you'll get it!

[ProductionsPitBull]

i have kinda stopped skating
