Learning to Ollie (30) Part 35

Okay these are not good but it's the first time I've tried rolling ollies since hurting my back. One thing I notice right away from watching these is that I'm definitly leaning back too much. Another thing is that I'm not bending my knees enough and also that I keep putting my front foot too far forward when starting out. Next time I will try and start my front foot in the center of the board and definitly lean forward more to center my body above the board. Not sure if speed was a factor, I tried not to go to fast.

Scott your foot is on the bolts you will never get much air like that.

You need to put your foot under the bolts i prefer 3 or 4 inches under them so you can roll your ankel more and pop it higher level it out in the air.

My form was way off. I've had way more air than these. I think its been like almost 2 months since I tried rolling ollies and I was way off

hey scott i think your good enough to make ollie tutorials

[scottdouglas79]

I think people learn best from observation. I've made so many ollie videos that people learn by my mistakes.

That was bad

I can help if you want.I will give you some tips that I learned

1. One thing that helps to land is move your feet backwards a bit

2. Push the tail down and hold it down and practice sliding your foot. Then once you've done that, push it down then slide your foot. Practice this then do the real thing and try to lift your legs up after you've slid your foot.

Hope this helps

One thing i notice, is you need to jump more... its like a pop jump. lift your back foot up and the board with naturally go up. and try popping harder.

[Danielemoaisha]

think before you make a vid

you will never land an ollie like the ones here in this vid because of the sudden transition from concrete (high speed) to grass (stuck and no speed).

grass is also bad for your trucks and your bearings, seems to be logical.

[skatelementorfuckoff]

put ur left foot further back so that u can slide more

[JordiniTine]

your not sliding your foot forwar just lifting

[JordiniTine]

what type of editting system do you use?

[1080portal]

Your working hard but not very smart.

[XSophiaX95]

Your foot is too close to the bolts, put them near the middle of the board.

Don't forget to crouch and pop harder. Drag your feet to the nose.

Your landing isn't straight because your shoulders arent aligned with the board and your dragging isn't straight
