How to Ollie - A New 5 Step Method

Braille’s videos were already recommended, but there is also Sarah Park-Matott. Here is her 5 step method: [VIDEO] - she has a bit of a cult following because of the way she breaks tricks down. One other comment from and old guy who started 8 months ago: Don’t focus on ollies too much. Practice other stuff (shuvs, hippe jumps, finger flips, kick flips, body varials, ramps, etc..). Experience on the board is all cross

Looks like you have lots of parts of the ollies good, but your timing needs a bit of sorting out. This video will help a lot. It really helped me go from falling off every time I tried to being able to consistently do nice Ollie's Sarah Park Mattot's 5 step Ollie tutorial: [VIDEO]

Its a good guide for very new skaters. I followed it myself a few months ago but have since found this guide by Sarah Park-Matott to be much more insightful for training the muscle memory: [VIDEO]

I shared this on another thread: Someone (I need to remember who and go back and thank them) shared this in another thread yesterday, and I have it bookmarked for when I am ready to seriously attempt the Ollie. [VIDEO] She has some other really good videos that I checked out yesterday, one of which is her opinion on the Ollie as a beginner trick....which is why I will hold off a little longer.

Piggybacking on this thread if that's okay. The SkateIQ turorials are great for learning how to ollie. I didn't know about SkateIQ a year ago when learning to ollie and used Sarah Park's videos instead if that helps anyone. She breaks the mechanics down into auxiliary steps that force you to get comfortable on the board first similar to how Mitchie does [VIDEO]_

Awesome putting yourself out there! Want to add this to your playlist too: Sarah Parker-Matott’s 5 step Ollie video [VIDEO] This jumping trick IMHO should be called POPSLIDEJUMPPUSH too! Hope you’re looking for your own inspiration. Keep on jumping. “Learn slow progress fast” Sarah Parker.
