Why skaters like it
Gets linked in r/NewSkaters whenever someone asks why their ollie won't leave the ground. Stresses jumping up and popping with the ankle, plus a gradual drill.
“You gotta jump! You're not jumping! You're barely unweighting. Boards not gonna leave the ground if you're standing on it.”

Check out this video [VIDEO]! it describes an exercise for learning the Ollie step by step, it’s a great starting point for beginners

Your back foot doesn't and shouldn't stamp down to the ground - as shown in the second video, your foot should pop the board down but you should already be jumping b
