So glad we can help! Send video if you want any analysis.

So sick that you're learning the ollie! Timing is everything! If you need more help hit me up and send video!

So stoked you found us. Just a nerd, nerding out on how to ollie! Thanks for watching!

So stoked we could help you! Send video I want to see you slay that stair set!

If your back foot is coming off, you're probably rocketing too much and need to try not putting as much energy into the ollie until your form/technique is corrected or you're not leaning forward enough for the speed you're carrying. Or you just need to start working on ninja style ollies, where it basically looks like you're doing a flying sidekick through the air. That involves bringing the back foot in & up. I don't think of ollies as bringing the board up, but up AND forward, so I catch with front foot and thrust the deck forward like a flying kick, thus making the tail slap up against the back foot. I firmly believe most ollie issues are cleared up once people learn to really attack the nose. If you think of an ollie as moving up AND forward, your back foot will start to follow; the difficulty comes from people using their rear leg only in a straight down/up motion and going below the deck's horizontal plane that kills the energy transfer (pop down, foot then moves straight up). Your front front slides & moves forward, so you need to train your rear foot to move forward a little too. It's pop down, move rear foot up AND forwards. Your rear leg below the knee doesn't come straight up, it makes a very similar motion to when you pick up your foot to see what's on the bottom of your shoe.

Stoked you found this in the sea of you tube knowledge!

If you get desperate enough you do some digging, haha.

Working on a new one now!

Thank you I'm glad we could help!

Glad it helped!

Thank you for the support! A bit nerdy but having fun breaking it down:)!

👊🏻

I checked out some of your vids man nice work!! Glad you liked this one and thank you for the support!

@@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205 Thank you!

So stoked that you're learning to skate there is no age limit! Let me know if I can help you with your process as you learn to ollie and skate the way you want to!

@@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205 Thanks, I really appreciate that! You know one thing I discovered this last week is the reason I couldn't time myself to ollie over an object while rolling was because I couldn't ollie without looking at my feet. Had to practice looking away while doing stationary ollies for a while until I started getting comfortable. Now I'm managing to ollie while rolling and looking at the object I'm trying to ollie over.

You're very welcome!

Just thankful people who need them can find them. We love to see people understand how it all works and learn!

Just email at chris@ussea.us

That is a powerful connection! Skaters are problem solvers and critical thinkers! Love that skateboarding gives us a space to challenge our brain and body to connect like that! Nice work you should consider sharing your ideas with more people!

Bowl carving is on the list! Send me a video of you working on your pop and I'm sure I can help you out. I do have some vids that cover popping. What a challenging aspect of the ollie it is too! Check this vid and see if it helps... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKp5fMd91djTn6s.html

You're welcome. I'm working on another video for one of our other subscribers that might have a few pointers for you on bigger drops.

@@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205 thank you!!! that would be amazing

Just gotta slide more

Great point! by moving your back foot down on the tail you may loose some leverage but you will gain more contact. Sometimes its the smallest adjustments that make the difference for each of us! Thanks for pointing this out!

@@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205 no problem at all

Smooth motion you don't want to kick the board away...

We talkin 50/50? Frontside, backside? In a bowl or ramp? Hand rail? Would be stoked to work on that edit. Just need to narrow the focus.

@@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205 I'd say 50-50 onto a Hand rail.

So glad that we could help! Keep me updated on your progress!

Heck yes just submit to chris@ussea.us Happy to evaluate and if you're cool with it I'll use it for a future video edit on the channel.

@@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205 Awesome thank you! Submitted. Can't wait to hear your feedback

No? Lol

Really focus on jumping before you flick the tail down. It's so important that you think of flick the tail down instead of trying push off the tail from the ground. Think get weightless then flick...

Yes Tommie helped me out with some video content to build off of. He is a long time friend, an incredible athlete, and one heck of a snowboard coach!

Alright I like the sound of this. How about we start with the tricks that are most important to you... You name some and I'll do my best!

@@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205 like front side 180 back side 180 pop shove it front shove heel flip 369 flip

Now that's a good start to a trick list!

You are not alone in rotating the board that way. Here's why, and you're on the right track... When you try to move your front knee forward it is natural for your knee to rotate open a bit. That leads to the lower leg and foot opening (rotating) as well. Try standing on your back foot and lift your front knee. Start to make the lead leg movement like you would when you ollie. Pay attention to what happens as you move your front knee forward. You will see at a certain point the lead leg starts to rotate open. This extra knee movement is likely contributing to you opening your front foot and rotating the board. Let me know if this makes sense and if it doesn't I will try to make a video breakdown about the lead leg action and why the board rotates open...

I'll add that you can compensate by disciplining your foot and ankle action with knee extension to keep the board in line. You can also help control it by easing up on the forward movement of the knee when you lift it up and slide the foot up the board.
