How to OLLIE as High as you Jump!

An ollie is a combination of 3 steps: the jump, the pop, and the slide, all done at once. As you jump up, your back foot should be pushing down on the tail of the board, popping the whole thing into the air. Of course, the back end up the board can't go anywhere unless you slide your front foot towards the nose of the board. But then at the same time you have to bring your back foot up towards your chest, so that whe

That looks real good man. I would say take a look at this video. He has some of the best looking Ollies I’ve ever seen. Your front foot looks good, as the board is going up, you just need to push it forward at the top and you’re golden [VIDEO] Edit: Skip to the 3:25 mark to see the slow mo example

here [VIDEO] is a really good video which talks about how to bone your ollies and get them higher. Essentially to bone them you need to push your front foot forward more, which will sort of “over-level” the board. You then ‘tweak’ your back foot, sort of pulling it up and in (just watch the video, you’ll know what I mean) so that it gets boned out.

I don't know man, OP is more or less doing what Spencer Barton [VIDEO] does.

Once again I refer to this [VIDEO]

If you put your board on the ground and try and hurdle jump over it you will notice that you lift your front leg and jump with the back. It's the same with the ollie. Your front foot doesn't really leave the board, but you put almost no pressure on the board. It's very slight because you want the front foot to guide and gently

Skating isn't easy, that's why it is so beautiful. When you land a trick that you've been trying for months it feels sooo nice. Just keep working on it, ask for tips if you don't know what is wrong with your ollies and try to record yourself in slow mo while trying an ollie so you can understand easily what you're missing. What is helping me with ollies is to place my front foot closer to my back foot so I have more
