Why skaters like it

Posted in r/NewSkaters when beginners ask why their ollie is low or why the tail stubs. Part of a shorts playlist that moves people off pop and slide toward jumping first.

“Real ollies are not "pop and slide". I don't understand why this terrible way of learning ollies is the standard, it's just a total waste of time and gives you bad habits.”
