How to do an Ollie with Pro Skateboarder Mike V.

I’m team “stationary to figure out the pieces then move to rolling”. You probably saw my comment in that post. Someone said it best, it’s a mix of both. I’ve gathered most of my rolled ankles when I wasn’t sure how to execute a trick, but did it with a small rolling movement I’ve injured myself less when I practiced the mechanics stationary, landed a couple, then moved into rolling once I understand how the pieces worked to the trick. Everyone learns differently. Lots of pros started their stuff stationary and even recommended doing it stationary to figure out the parts to the trick Example: Mike Valley: [VIDEO]_ Reasoning being the risk to figure out everything (popping, leveling, shoulders, jumping, etc) all while rolling is a bigger risk of injury compared to stationary. Source: you can find my skating clips for kickflips and treflips that I didn’t just pick up skating a month ago. Been doing this for a bit.

That’s a bummer to hear man. the one thing I can tell you is real skaters aren’t like that. Visiting your local park is an awesome way to not only get in touch with the local skate community but also a fun way to learn from others. Most of us remember what it was like learning for the first time. I can guarantee you if you pull up to the park and she were to ask a random skater how to Ollie they’ll show her. But here’s something I watched as a kid when I was first learning these videos are way older than the upload date but it taught me the basics. [VIDEO]

Mike v did some "skateskool" tutorials. They are really good and very helpful. I remember learning a bunch back in my days from them. They had them on Comcast on demand! You can find them on YouTube. I think they can really help her out on understanding how to control the board. [VIDEO]

Right on! Like your style man, grew up watching sportscool with Mike! [VIDEO] Takes me back a decade and a half!
