Why skaters like it
Gets linked in r/NewSkaters whenever someone can't ollie or can't get height. Skaters say it explains the hop and the slide better than the usual pop harder advice.
“you have to pop and hop, are you just popping and expecting magic to carry you and the board into the air? pop+(jump + slide) = ollie.”

Doing tricks stationary is only good to get the foot action down or to reset your brain after you're pissed the fuck off trying them rolling, like a pit stop. [VIDEO] [VIDEO]
you have to pop and hop, are you just popping and expecting magic to carry you and the board into the air? pop+(jump + slide) = ollie. Braille never mentions the hop and focus too much on the slide. Here's a great video from VLskate [VIDEO]
You're on the right track, practice on using your back foot to press down and jump up at the same time. But don't shift your weight to the back, keep it center, or else your board will fly forward. From what I see, your weight is towards the tail. Practice sliding your front foot, doesn't have to be exaggerated like in many video guides, even a small slide can make a huge difference in leveling your board out. Your f
Pull your back foot up all the way you can and emphasize on sliding your front foot across the board, your foot placement could be a little off too. I recommend you watching VLskates Ollie Tutorial, it really helped me as well. [VIDEO] Good luck and have fun skating :)
if you want to get ollies higher, you have to lift your back foot up after you pop. vlskate made a video on ollies [VIDEO] which helped me a lot.
This video by VLSkate has helped me a bunch, hopefully it helps you. [VIDEO] Rock on 🤙
