by far the best skateboard trick

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

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?

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.

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.

My brain says yes but my feet and legs says no

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

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

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!!!

Perfect explication

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

This actually helped me a lot thank you

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

This is the beat video to watch when you are learning

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

This is very helpful. I just started

The hand trick really helpled me grasp the timing better 🖤

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

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

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 like the hand mention!

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

Good solid landing trick

Thanks for the helping Jonny G

perfect🎉❤

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

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

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

This makes hella sense

U just helped me land my first Ollie ❤

thankyou u helped me do my first real ollie

Thank you 🤍

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.

Thank you so much

Instructions unclear in 1 minute i broke my leg

Holy shit tysm

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

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.

Thanks😊

Tysm

Step 3- lift your back knee

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

Im going to break my ankle again while doing this lol

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.)

Teach me how to 360 double flip

I did it thank you

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

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

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

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

Perfeito!!!!!!!

At first I thought this was gta

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

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.

I tried and I landed on my back!!

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

🔥

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

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

i cant even get my board in the air

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

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

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

Works

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

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

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

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

My toxic trait is thinking I can easily do this

Wow seems hard

Are revive board any good or are they ehhh?

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

Kick down on back foot ankle kick on front foot

Timing is everything!!😢

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!❤

Are you able to Ollie on grass? Cuz I'm too scared to try on concrete

I can't even do it with my hands

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

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

Can i have some

How do you jump and keep the board on your feet 💀

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

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.

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

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.

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

So pretty much I should go to goodwill and find the shittiest shoes. I’ve already ruined 3 pairs…but I think it’s because they’re running shoes. To this day I can’t ollie. Freaking power over here.

You're like the Rodney Mullen of this generation.

I cant land my Backfoot on the Board i always land it on the ground
