what about 8? ;)

The hardest part is finding 7 other boards 😅

This might actually be the best ollie tutorial out there with spencer barton's. Thanks! Even after 5 years of skating it's always good to hear pro tips

I’m nearly 39, i can still ollie 4 boards easy, 5 on a good day. I ollied 7 boards back when I was younger. I don’t have the best of Health. my body took a good beating over the years. Been skating again now for almost 2 years. Weekend sessions only, when I find the time. Happy with the progress. These tutorials make all the difference. Wish I had you tube 20-25 years ago. There basically wasn’t much to skate back in those day’s. So we skated flatground and streetspots a lot. That’s how my ollies got quite good fast. Can’t wait to hit the skateparks again.

I can ollie over 8 boards. Flat, on top of each other.... With the wheels and trucks removed...and no grip tape on them.

When you really think about it. Jonny gets paid to wear shoes on his hands & that's kinda bad ass.

“Good things take their time” is a great phrase.

Biggest lightbulb moment for me learning to ollie recently was that in order to pop, you actually have to bounce the board off the ground. Practicing popping the tail down and picking up the board is almost like the first step.

Shows you how to ollie: *ollies 15 meters in the air* Me: um, ok

I haven't been able to Ollie for weeks and now I can Ollie almost 2 boards high :O tysm

Once you've got the basics of the ollie down. Pop and lift your back foot as high as possible. Get it right up there like you going to knee yourself in the chin!! The front foot will naturally do its thing once the muscle memory is there.

Hi person reading this, don't quit skating! It may be hard, but it was 6 months of skating every single day from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm for me to learn how to ollie. I've been skating for about a year and a half now, and can already tre flip! Never ever ever give up! Keep trying, and you will become amazing! Keep pushing, I will if you will, Goodbye, and go conquer your dreams!

I think a lot of people (including me) try to improve and also look for tutorials likes this during quarantine :) So this helps a lot and keeps us all entertained

He gives me so much confidence that I never have while cruising around. Everyone has to start somewhere

JONNY: ollies over 7 boards ME: gets popcicled trying to ollie over 2

Skate School Jonny Giger is my favorite technical wizard going back to the basics the foundation of skating. ❤🍫🇨🇭 I love Sweden!

I learned to Ollie 20 centimeters last week. I did it EXACTLY the way he explained. No other tutorial is so good. You’re amazing

Great advice. Most tricks that I learned during my career happened at night while sleeping or when falling asleep.

This helped out so much. Alot of videos from reputable content creators where telling me the wrong back foot placement for the pop. Thanks so much.

Just opened KZfaq new video 1 minute ago! Nice! Never been that early anywhere lol

Hey Jonny! Just came back here to say that watching this video a couple weeks ago added the final peice of the puzzle for my first ollie. Thanks so much!

Honestly man, the tips on foot placement and weight distribution at around 3:50 are so underrated. For a good minute I've been wondering why I'd have to immediately step off the board forward or backward and now I know. Thanks, Jonny!

Hey Jonny Geiger! That last Ollie was in the freaking stratosphere! Thank you! Ride ride ride!

This helps so much, because my ollies look like 5:11, so now I know why

Awesome tutorial! I've been covering the tail with my back foot WAY too much. I thought the ball of the foot needed to be at the center of the tail; thought it'd make the pop more stable(?) looks like I need to be placing it a bit farther back so that the TOES are lined up with the middle :/ I'll have to try this next time:] Thanks JonnyG!/|\

This is amazing Jonny I love seeing a master of a skill such as yourself sharing the very basic building blocks of their skill with such grace, thanks man!

Johnny Giger, you biscuit eater. You single handedly grew my ollie by seven sizes just with your tip at 0:58. I'd forever been popping with my big toe joint in the center of the tail and by turning and putting my toe there like you suggested, my board is now stuck to my feet. I feel like there are suction cups on the bottom of my shoes. I GOT POWER WITH THIS POP Thank you, sir

It took me about 3 months to ollie practicing an hour a day. Finally got it though! Never give up.

Wow! One of your best videos!!! Thank you, Jonny!

One of my happiest memories. Me, 14 at skateboard camp. Last day of camp: board Ollie contest. I did 5, almost 6 but never pulled it off. 7 is impressive indeed. When I was learning to skate I wish I had access to you on the internet.

thank you jonny i've been focusing on my ollie during this quarantine this video was great timing

Jonny, thank you for this video. I love to watch your more advanced videos for entertainment and inspiration but as a beginner I really appreciate this in depth video about such a basic, foundational technique. Cheers

Jonny best teacher. I like braille a lot but you understand physics better. 10/10 for me personally. I need more physics stuff like this to learn.

I spoke to my friend about ollie'ing a manny pad and saw you uploaded this video! Fantastic timing!

Jonny you kill it every time, clear, concise. Makes me want to go skate

You are my favorite skater of all TIME

That is the episode I really need! I have been wondering how to work on my ollies for quite some time

Thank you for being a really good teatcher. Its pretty cool that i can have great skaters like you teach me some of your techniques, and all accecable free, what a great dude you are.

I just got back into skateboarding after 6 years so watching this actually gives me more info to help me get my Ollie down!!

After having landed my last kickflip 10 years ago, you my friend have shown me that skating is fun again. Seeing you land tricks despite expressing a fear of big ramps really helped. I never could skate the bowl like my buddy's and that demotivated me as a teenager, I realise now that I shouldn't have cared and just skate how I want. Thanks Jonny.

Hey Jonny, im new on your channel, i skated for 2-3 years and stopped when i was 17 years old because i was going to university. Now at 25years old, going back to skate and saw your videos are really helping me out. Thank you so much !

Back-foot position helped me a lot. Thank you!

Hey! I am not a skatboarder anymore, but started doing some basic flatland skatboarding due to the quarantine after 20 years of absence. The most I’ve ever managed to jump over was 5 decks. Landed on the bolts, but broke my board. Which was less then a week old. 😢 I was so pissed. At that time I was still in high school and buying a new deck wasn’t cheap. To this day I don’t understand what went wrong. I never again tried jumping over more than 4 decks. 😬

I have struggled with a weak ollie for a long time this is by far the best tutorial. I think it's my foot positioning that is the problem. I'm going to adjust my back foot to the middle of the tail and improve all my skating.

Thank you for your videos, I feel like they help so much, you're videos inspire me to keep trying

I just started yesturday and I can Ollie 7boards now! Thanks Jonny!

I been watching giger for years now and I gotta say, probably for sure top 3 skaters ever and I’ve been around for 20 years skating. I’ve seen all the old videos, a lot of new ones and no one is doing what this man is doing. The best skaters would never make a Rodney Mullen imitation video because no one can do what that man does. Everyone’s worried about everything else and giger is keeping it simple but impossible at the same time! How does he do that?? Lol. Huge fan from Chicago! Keep posting man!! Thank you for the content!

So close to getting my Ollie consistent, this video was right in time!

Full commitment😂😂😂 I love you and your videos, Jonny❤️❤️❤️

Love your vids Jonny. King of skate 👑

I’ve never heard someone say not to put the back foot all the way on like that, I’m definitely changing my foot stance and trying this out! Much appreciated Jonny!

I love how you challenge yourself constantly even though you have accomplished a lot you still find a way to challenge yourself. 👏👏👏

Man thank you for explaining that you have to jump when you pop !! To many people teaching these videos leave that factor out leaving people to think they are doing something wrong becuz they are trying to pop and slide with no jump and nothing happen!! You and Kyro legit the only ones I’ve seen mention the jumping factor!!!

This vid has given me the encouragement I need to take my ollie up to that 12" level !!! It's On, Thx.

Man! Definitely brought back good memories when I seen this video, in 2003 or so just a couple years into skating ( as a 7th grade skid hoodlum!) when I did a 7 deck Ollie as well! Just 1 time though, but good enough! Still can't believe it happened even to this day! Great video man thanks! 👍

Why would anybody thumb down this video? This guy is a legend! Thanks for the video J

Trying out my first ollie today - so stoked! :)

Just now getting my ollie consistent and good, using this video to help clean them up and get a little more off the ground.

Jonny we need more trick tips like this! Start tutorial videos on everything from basics up to advanced tricks plz

Your slowmo helped me figure out my timing for higher ollies 💕 i used to pop too close to the obstacle and i thought it was because i couldn't ollie high fast enough 🥺🥺

Great skateboarder... even better teacher! Tks for the tips.

Nice!

Great video. Practiced 10-15 minutes every day for the last week and went from 8 inches to almost two feet. Just have to concentrate on landing straight which is tough with the high ones.

I'm over 60 something years old and have been skateboarding over 50 years. I could do low Ollies in the 80's and tried to relearn them in 2020. I practiced everyday while holding onto a chest high rail for about half an hour for about a month. All l accomplished was getting tennis elbow pains from holding the rail and Ollieing. I gave up trying. Now it is June 2023 and I still don't do them, but I did have a great Go Skate day at Kohala, Hawaii with over 100 skaters rolling down the closed main highway for about a mile to the roots Skateboard park for the Big islands once a year Skate , bike event.

Best ollie tutorial. My foot position was bad and I didn't slide up and down with my front foot, so my ollies were very low (only 1-2 inches). However after watching this video I fixed my foot position and tried the tips you showed and I got almost half a foot! Thank you for the tips!

@Johnny, you've got one of the best channels around, bro!

Love the editing on your vids, thank you for the content!

Jonny, this is a masterclass, thank you 👊🏼

You have a great teaching pqce and voice. Vwry calm and clear. Very good teaching. Thank you.

Great tip! Finally ollied up a curb today!

The best ollie tutorial 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

made it over a parking block with an Ollie today. Hope to get over 2 boards soon. Just started in February 2020. Thanks johnny

i needed this video so much. just about the right time!

Last week have the 4 done ✅ happy about this 🤓👌🏼

Started skateboarding somewhere October 2021 to be an inspiration to my son to try new things. Been trying to ollie with very little success! My ollies won't lift off! And they either ended up behind me or in front of me! With support like my sofa, my body jumps higher and leaves the board on the floor 🤣 🤣 I just finished watching the part of the tutorial and decided to try it with my running sneakers (RIP to the front side though 😭) TWO KICKS!! TWO KICKS is all I did and I'm popping!!! Now have to incorporate in my movement THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😭😭😭😭😭🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘Another piece of evidence why Jonny is the Top of technical street skating!!!!!!!!!!😎😎😎😎

When I was about 9 years old me and my friend were messing around for the first time... we were trying to Ollie. After about 100 tries I suddenly nailed the timing just right... I flew up like 10 inches! Best ollie I ever did! Haven’t Ollied since...

Awesome vid Jonny... as are all your others, especially from the POV of an older skater (i.e. myself) who can appreciate the tech wizardry of Rodney - which you are doing an awesome job of replicating! I'm now 45 and about to embark on a hammer programme of trying to regain some of my former steez and I think I'll need to retrain my ollie some (!!) so this video is perfect. Needless to say I'll be wearing baggy jeans and éS Schemes while I practice just to keep it OG... the '90s live on!! ✌😁 ❤

Your videos help so much thank you, your the best

Super fun vid! Very inspirational! Keep up the vids!!!

You are juste the best in flatground dude !

There are a lot of great tricks out there, but not many that look as good as a really popped ollie! Jonny has a nice one!

This video was way more than expected ;D

Danke für das schöne Video zum olli!^^ Ich skate nach 12 jahren wieder un deine titurials helfen mir echt wieder gut rein zu kommen. Danke dafür, mach weiter so.

i was trying to ollie and didn't know what I was doing wrong, i had my balance and front foot placement right just didn't get enough pop, this video p much helped me and I had my foot placement not at the edge the way you have it. I tried it and it gave me a big ol pop and Im v happy I can do an ollie now. Thanks

Very informative thank you. One of the issues im having is getting the pop. Hopefully I can work on that.

Johny this video has helped me to take a deep breath, and wonder why it was so hard to make Ollies while moving... When you say, "If you feel comfortable with this position, DON'T do it"... Guess what! Haha that helped me a lot with the balance, and figured out the whip movement of the leg to the toes! Now I feel more at jumping ! Thanks a lot bro! Saludos desde Chile! 🇨🇱

thanks! tried to learn them again couple days ago, now that i have much time on my hand :)

Thanks Jonny for the tips! Great video, good explanation!

just wanna say that your thumbnail game is really strong, especially compared to other 'how to' skateboard channels! makes me wanna watch your videos every time! :D

A big lightbulb moment for getting my ollies to improve was focus more on bringing my front foot up rather than forward. I would always worry about my board not leveling out so I thought I had to push my foot forward but dragging more up helps the board level better and once its level then push forward. Catching the board in the pocket with your front foot also happens much more naturally when you drag your foot more vertically which helps control the board a lot better + you drag your board up and ollie higher. For me this was the final thing to tie my ollie together. It took me about 6 weeks to get my ollies to a point where I felt like I could do them properly and each time there was major improvement came from a big lightbulb moment in each step so don't get discouraged when you think you figured it out just to encounter another problem. Don't be scared to try ollies up and down different things as well it will give you a sense of accomplishment and help you focus on different movements in the ollie.

you are an excellent teacher

Jonny is spot on regarding your subconscious “digesting” the trick when you sleep!

Most excellent my man, very informative

Awesome!! Could you do a tutorial how to kickflip ? Please :)

I ordered my board two days ago so in a week or so Im gonna be back at it again :) gonna try to learn kickflip and get better at ollies too :) thanks for the tutorial I cant wait to get back on it!

Just got a new board, so now Im going to try this in my garden while stuck at home, thanks Jonny 😊

100% one of the best flat ground skaters around !!

Excellent video, as always man. Keep it up. Hi from Brazil :)

Omw jonny I literally fractured my ankle ollieing over 4 boards couldn't you come out with this sooner😭😭😭💔
