28 second Skate IQ short on ollieing by jumping off the back truck. It teaches the ollie as a jump with a late nose release, not the usual pop and slide.

Why skaters like it

Linked in beginner threads as a fix for pop and slide habits. Commenters say Skate IQ explains ollie mechanics better than most tutorials.

“… You don't need to pop, if you jump then you are already pushing way more force than you need through your board, you just need to release the nose (FAST and as late as possible) to get the board to rise. …”

Yeah, you seriously need to get more comfortable on the board. You also need to forget "pop and slide" because that's two old lies that have got out of control. Nice SKATEiQ shorts: Jump is the basis of the ollie: [VIDEO] Jump from the back truck: [VIDEO] Hippy jump drill: [VIDEO] Don't slide, catch the nose: [VIDEO] But always do other stuff. Don't just hammer ollies with the idea that that's the first step and everything follows from that. That's not how skateboarding works. Try a lot of different stuff. Pay attention and experiment, try whatever seems fun, whatever seems slightly scary. Not just ollies. Have fun!
