by far the best skateboard trick

Doing your first ollie is like going super saiyan for the first time.

something i never hear anyone but me point out is that; when you pop the board, your back foot should shove behind you so the board gets just a little bit less momentum than your body, which will help the friction of the board stay in contact with your front foot and give a really good bone-out feel

Ollies are the foundation for nearly all tricks, including for snowboarding, surfing, kiteboarding and wing foiling. Thanks for explaining it in simple terms. This is an excellent video short.

Jonny you start at Step 1: pop, but step 1 should be: jump first, when your weight is off the deck and your back foot starts to leave the tail, then pop by pushing your toes to the ground using the rear ankle. I see so many beginners try to pop while still standing on the board, which is useless. Let me know what you think?

One thing I noticed that makes my Ollie's a lot cleaner is that there is a slight roll forward before you pop your board. It helps quite a lot for some reason to do that little wind up for me at least.

I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and dope videos! Congratulations on your success and not giving up on your skateboard dreams!

Hardest step for newbs like me is the crucial step of committing to getting mint that back foot on without fear of rolling out. After riding for years and taking my share of spills… I’m finally getting closer and closer. I’ve been “skating” for years, but I’m barely getting interested in tricks. I’m comfy cruising but I’m still getting over that fear of being in the air and gambling my ankles 😂 by the end of this year I’ll have em down

Thanks for your tips, I'm always learning something new

I wish these videos existed 10 years ago. I would have been pro by now if they did! (haha). Thanks for the beautiful footage Jonny!!!

Day 3 of coming back to skating after 12 year hiatus the first day I landed a shuv it, kick flip, back side some manual and some Ollie’s since then I have built a manual pad ,grind rail and a bank 😂😂😂 I’m hooked again bad I almost got a 3 flip today and damn are my hamstrings sore

Perfect explication

dont forget the position of your shoulders.. this took me soo long to understand why i cant do straight ollies while moving

Another thing I noticed that instantly helped my get my tail off the ground is to flick down with your back ankle while you jump

Thank you bro, i legit did it in my fourth try and from then i can do it consistently

We got Jonny giger and Johnny ringer 😂 our fav skaters.

My brain says yes but my feet and legs says no

Yeah I recorded myself doing ollies outside and it doesn’t look like I’m getting off the ground but when I slow it down on camera I get about 1-2 inches off the ground which is better than I thought. I just need to keep doing it. My favorite skating quote I seen someone else use is, “GET UPPPPPPP”. I’ll never forget it. If you fall, get tf back up.

practicing the jump without the board is something i tried before this video but is genuinely the most helpful thing for me to learn the form lol

The hand trick really helpled me grasp the timing better 🖤

Thats one of the best tutorials I have found yet, thanx

Literally just landed my first clean ass Ollie with these tips bro, much love

Ollie’ing by tapping the tip led me to bad habits that I later had to unlearn. I recommend against doing that. Learning to scoop the board when popping it, trying to get it as vertical as possible while keeping your back foot near the concave is better advice because it gives better control (and later when you learn tricks, it’ll be that much more simple to control the board, especially on rotational tricks). The placement of my front foot determines how high, much spin, or rotation I get, but my back foot basically stays in the same spot around the concave. Also, be aware if youre making the board lean forward or backward, it should be as flat as possible when you pop it, think of it as if there were water on it and you wanted to keep it as level as possible to not let any of the water spill. Lots of beginners lean forward/backward because their balance is off, especially when they pop because they do not go straight up and down and tend to lean forward and distribute their weight over their toes which makes their board lean forward and causes flat as pops or the board to turn when they pop it.

i remember someone telling me to hold a pole & it helped

It’s been a year and I still can’t do it

This actually helped me a lot thank you

This is very helpful. I just started

I like the hand mention!

I keep my front foot toes an inch away from the edge of the board. Helps me pop straight out

This is the beat video to watch when you are learning

Thank you so much!!! Thanks to you I got my first Ollie in only 2-3 days!!!!!

Thank you bro your the one man That make me do ollie and its easy now G

It looks so easy. It’s so hard!

This video helped me get a SMALL but first Ollie in a day

This makes hella sense

Its just that I can't get my front foot to slide at the same time as I pop it

Good solid landing trick

perfect🎉❤

if u have trouble to pop, just pop sideways it helps

U just helped me land my first Ollie ❤

Thanks for the helping Jonny G

thankyou u helped me do my first real ollie

This is excellent

Thank you 🤍

I have wachet 5 vidios of 10 min and this one helpt more becous i can olie now

I’ve been practicing my Ollie’s for only 2 days now and I think I’ve failed like 57 times already, so maybe this video will help me do it the right way lol XD

I keep both of my feet in the center, helps me level out more and not tear my laces

The biggest thing I had to learn was "your back foot doesn't touch the board when the tail pops off the ground"

This clip popped up in my feed. Couldn't see who the skater was, but then i saw the mountain in the background and was like "ah, it's Johnny Giger" xD.

Tip: you don't have to place you're foot in the middle in some cases this might make things harder to land. The more higher you want to olllie the more back you're front foot should be (I usually place my foot right on the second set of the front bolts.)

Thank you so much

Holy shit tysm

Muy buenas explicaciones.. aunque ni se sepa mucho de inglés....se entiende muy bien con los esquemas ..y cámara lenta

I did it thank you

Tysm

Perfeito!!!!!!!

Thanks😊

I tried to ollie today and landed it a couple of times

The important tip that Johnny didn't say, is that YOU SHOULD BEND YOUR BACK FOOT IN YOUR STOMACH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, and then press your front foot down while flicking it forward.

Jump FIRST then pop. Not exactly the same time, if you watch there’s a slight delay between the jump and pop

I actually feel like I just learned a Ollie even if I didn’t even tried jet

I skated for years as a kid and always thought the tail was the bigger end. It feels looks weird to me to see it's the other way around.

Teach me how to 360 double flip

🔥

I tried and I landed on my back!!

Wow second try and i got it in my kitchen on my sons board lol

Step 3- lift your back knee

bro i’ve been trying this for like 2 days and i’m so fucking angry at myself for not being perfect at it, when I literally have been practicing for 2 days, i know it’s stupid and i know i’m just making my progress slower but i’m just PISSED I hate being a perfectionist

Instructions unclear in 1 minute i broke my leg

Im going to break my ankle again while doing this lol

Works

I was practicing yesterday and hardly got the tiniest bit of air and landed super weird but my reaction was priceless😭😭 (I was recording)

Bruh I was working on my Ollie today and just ate it ong 😭 pretty sure I broke my arm

JUMP --> POP, not at the same time!

The very first Ollie in the video is an O.G. Shifty !

you should lift your front foot as you pop meaning your front foot will meet your nose only then should you slide the slide is the equivalent of leveling your board out

Yay I did an ollie only got like 2cm off the ground but it's a start

I can watch this in one minute but i can ollie in one month

At first I thought this was gta

Even with hands mine doesn't get out of the ground😅, don't know if it is the type of skate tho.

i trained it even for two minutes but it want work... i think i need one more minute! 🤔

I’m trying to figure out how the board gets in the air

So do you pop, and slide, and jump together?

Pointer y’all when they say how to learn something I a minute it doesn’t mean your gonna be able to DO the trick or etc after a minute it’s just a minute or more of them teaching yall😂 just practice and have fun with it!❤

Bro didn’t do an Ollie. He did a Kangaroo Ollie

i cant even get my board in the air

I can pop but I can’t seem to level out the board

Impossible when I slide my feet forward whenever I jump in my skateboard moves away from me. If I try to jump forward, my skateboard goes back so it’s impossible.

Wow seems hard

At the park right now bout to pop my first ollie hell yeah 💪

Timing is everything!!😢

😮どうして、貴方は世界一の称号をつけないのですか？😅

Are revive board any good or are they ehhh?

Bro- Skateboarding is more harder than Scootering. Scooter is kinda easy to learn-😢😊

Kick down on back foot ankle kick on front foot

i feel like the ollie was just like learning to drop in on a half pipe. you just had to full on commit. any hestitaiton and you ate shit.

For some reason when i ollie my backfoot never stays on the back of the board and always moves up the board towards my front foot. Is this normal because when i watch videos of people ollie their backfoot stays in place

I'm trying to get better after reporting this video helped me

My toxic trait is thinking I can easily do this

😼😼😼
