Linked in r/NewSkaters when beginners ask why their ollie fails at speed or how to fix foot drag. Short enough to rewatch while practicing.

I’ve only been skateboarding for like 2 months but my ollie is getting pretty consistent and I’m able to ollie over some stuff, so hopefully I can give you some tips. First thing I noticed is that your back foot is covering too much of the board. Before you ollie you want to pull your foot back a little so that the ball of your foot and your toes are on the center of the tail. The 2 biggest tips that helped me were: 1. This video from Dan Webz [VIDEO] Mainly step 3 where he pulls his back knee towards his front leg. When you ollie you don’t just want to pop downwards, you also want to pop backwards slightly, to bring the nose up more. Putting your back leg in this position helps to do that. Make sure you squat down low, but not low enough to where you lose power, and put more weight on your front foot. 2. This video from bbyyoshando [LINK] It may seem obvious but what helped me most was just him talking about jumping to the side. Something just clicked for me after that and once I started focusing on not only jumping upwards, but laterally too, my ollies got way cleaner, way more pop, and I was getting the confidence to bring my knees up more. Yoshando also talks about the correct …

Hey. Fellow fatty here. Practice stationary until you get the mechanics down. I don't mean just sitting and I don't mean to do it on a carpet What I mean is to find something to Hold Onto. Like a chest level wall or rail. Use that to hold yourself stationary so you can try to learn the mechanics while also being able to kick/jump as high as you can safely. Normally this is the last resort method. Especially since most recommend learning while moving. But theres nothing wrong with deconstructing a task and Learning it one piece at a time. There's so many videos [VIDEO] on the mechanics and physics behind an ollie. Watch them all and use them for your practice. Then... You want to merely practice that moving. It's easier to do it up a curb or onto a short manual/grind box for some people. A lot of people need a task to help them jump onto to visualize it. So give that a go too.
