Why skaters like it

Posted in r/NewSkaters when beginners ask about arm movement, jump timing and board rotation, since slow motion makes the jump, pop and slide order easy to see.

Jump is the first step. Jump, pop, slide it up, level out, land. While the board is still flat on the ground you jump hard off both legs and get your body moving up towards a spot in the air.

Your front ankle looks strange to me in both clips. Your toes are very pointed down, which I think is giving your ollie a weird kind of flick during the level. Watch your front ankle in your video and then reference these: [VIDEO] [VIDEO] Their toes are more parallel to the ground when they get to the peak of their ollie, and their front legs also move more as one solid fluid piece in general.

No prob man! Check this video out [VIDEO] so you can see it in slow motion. You don't need to push it out as far as he is doing quite yet but this at least shows you the motion.
