I know it's common to get hyped seeing clean tre flips or say a clean kickflip. But textbook ollies are just as fun to watch for me. Reese Forbes I think was the first to make my jaw drop with his Ollie. [VIDEO]

No because the drag is what brings your board up. The straightening of your back leg brings your body up. [VIDEO]
