In this video we take a look at some common ollie mistakes that are easily fixed in order to improve your ollie quickly. I review three different skate clips who are subscribed to my channel. They sent me DM's on Instagram requested help to which I happily gave my thoughts on what they might be doing wrong, and more importantly how they can fix it. They have given me permission to share these short video clips with you in order to help others fix their ollie. Chances are you may be making one of these mistakes, so let's fix these common ollie issues and get you progressing with your skating!
In this skate tutorial I also share a short vlog about a surprise for a skateboarding clinic that I am hosting in my neighborhood. I'm so excited for the skate clinic and to help spark a passion for skating in some younger children. The clinic is open to all ages so hopefully we will also have some teenagers and adults come join in. I'll post more about it down the road!

We can all put some work I to our ollie. I tend to lean forward (toward nose) too much when ollieing with speed. I am constantly telling myself to have good posture and keep my board centered under me.

@SkatingwithAaron 2 жыл бұрын

It’s a tough trick to get right. I’ll sometimes lean forward or open my shoulder up a bit which turns my board FS a little. If I get some clips from people on that I may make another video in this series covering it.

Everyone progresses at their own pace so there’s no rush. You’ll get there. Also, it is normal to have some back foot gap. Even the Pro’s do. With time you’ll learn to minimize it. Keep up the hard work and it’ll pay off!

Your video is the one of the few videos that i keep going back to remind myself to lift my back foot. Another tip that I found out is the timing of when you should pop. I tend to pop when my body is fully extended from the squatting position. Haha not sure if that made sense. Awesome video!

@SkatingwithAaron Жыл бұрын

I really appreciate that! Definitely a game changer, but such an easy thing most skaters overlook. Interesting point on the pop timing. Makes total sense and I tend to agree that your body should be fully extended at the time the tail is popping up off the ground. Might make for an interesting video to discuss the specifics of timing, I.e. what happens when. Do you think that would be helpful to others?

@jayjaytan84 Жыл бұрын

@@SkatingwithAaron yes a video to demonstrate the timings (like how you demonstrated the difference in height of the back leg) would be awesome, as I have not seen many videos explaining this. And I also realized that you don’t actually have to jump that high for the pop. It’s more about getting your body weight off the board (when your body extends) before popping. My humble 2 cents. Can’t wait for your next video!

@SkatingwithAaron Жыл бұрын

@SkatingwithAaron 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I’ve heard of that happening. Goes to the old saying if you don’t use it you lose it. If you haven’t been practicing those tricks while street skating then it makes sense that they might be off when going back to them. Just have to self analyze and I have no doubt you’ll get them back pretty quickly!

Great video man. I’ve been practicing my ollies in my room because it’s been raining outside and I can get a pretty decent Ollie standing still in my room but once I try and do it moving I can’t even stay on the board. Any tips?

@SkatingwithAaron 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! 👊 Sounds like you need to get more comfortable rolling around on your board. Take 30-40min and just practice pushing up and down your street. You want to be able to roll around comfortably and confidently before trying to Ollie. Helps to work on manuals first as well. It might seem like a step backwards, but I promise it’ll put you 2-3 steps forward if you do it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZ9jiMeDspi0ln0.html

I just don’t understand like if I ollie on flat ground or a hill I can ollie very clean for like a foot but if I’m trying to ollie over an obstacle even if the obstacle was just my phone or a crack in the ground my back foot keeps going to the side of me and I know you might say I’m not commiting but I’ve literally tried to keep my foot there every way possible any tips please bro?

@SkatingwithAaron 2 жыл бұрын

First off definitely don’t Ollie your phone. That could be very bad! Lol. This is a very common problem though. I think it’s a fear of catching your back wheels and eating it. Why else would you move your back foot out to square up if you don’t do that on a normal Ollie. If you can Ollie perfectly fine and consistently while moving, then there’s no reason why you can’t do it over something..aside from fear of falling which leads to commitment issues. You need to be confident in your ability to ollie and make sure you’re tracking the object with your eyes. Look just past it or at the back edge as you approach and once you start to pop, you need to be looking beyond it to where you want to land. I give some examples in this short video here about how to Ollie any object. Check it out as I’m sure it’ll help! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbdndriA2L2uoKM.html

@SkatingwithAaron 2 жыл бұрын

@@williampayseno6690 Your timing doesn’t have to be perfect, but you are right that you need to consider timing and speed. Start with a small object and start popping your Ollie when your nose is about 6inches away from the front of the object. Depending on how quickly you pop your Ollie, you can start closer or further away. As for speed you don’t need to go blazing fast either. Maybe give a little extra push than normal and you’ll be good. Definitely check out that video link I posted on my previous comment. I think it’ll really help you!

@SkatingwithAaron 2 жыл бұрын

Everyone progresses at a different pace depending on a lot of factors. Ie; how much you practice, how you practice when you do, natural talent/ balance, etc. Only you can say if it’s worth it to keep trying. I can guarantee you though that if you do keep trying, you’ll get hooked once you land that first Ollie! Nothing like the feeling of landing a new trick for first time! If you’re not doing it already, film yourself and watch it back in slow-no to really breakdown what’s happening. Best way to progress!

Whenever I Ollie I kinda jump backwards and I don’t land on my board. I’ve practiced my foot placement and I’m really committing to the trick but it just won’t work. What should I do to fix this?

@SkatingwithAaron 27 күн бұрын

Film your attempts if you can. My guys is you’re leaning back as you go to pop. Really focus on keeping your front shoulder and head tilted towards the front of your board. This will help to keep you body centered.

@CalebWhitekeyblade 2 жыл бұрын

Hey could you help me when I trying to Ollie it’s hard to balance when I bend down and try to jump the pressure causes my board to slide or feel like it’s gonna fly underneath me when I do get a pop I feel like I didn’t have balance any tips

@SkatingwithAaron 2 жыл бұрын

Hey of course! My first initial thought and most honest answer is that you might not be ready to learn the Ollie if you’re struggling with balance issues or fear of of the board flying out. Best advice is to make sure you’re confident pushing around on your board and able to hold a manual for at least a few feet. Tighten up your trucks a bit if you’re wobbling too much. Next tip would be to film yourself and review your body positioning. More than likely you’re either leaning too far forward or backwards depending on which way the board is slipping. If you’re keeping your weight centered then you should be able to crouch done and back up without the board moving. Start here and then work on the Ollie motion fundamentals prior to traitors actually pop an Ollie. By that I mean break down the Ollie into steps and practice each one with pauses in between. 1. push the tail all the way down. 2. Roll your front ankle and slide it up towards the nose. 3. Push back down with your front foot. Practice this over and over to fully understand the basics. I know this is a lot of info so let me know if you have more questions!

@SkatingwithAaron Жыл бұрын

Could be a could different things. Timing, not getting a quick enough snap on your pop, not leveling the board back out with your front foot. Tough to say without seeing it. If you can film yourself and watch it back in slow-motion while looking for these things. Just know every skater struggles with this when first learning. Keep practicing and you’ll get it!

@@SkatingwithAaron Thanks for the reply. Hard for me to tell. I think a most of the time, a large gap throughout the whole ollie and then it sometimes touches my foot near the top.

Truth! There’s a reason people say you should only practice tricks rolling. Tricks do feel completely different going from wheels locked to wheels able to roll. I am however a fan of taking baby steps and building confidence at each level. I feel like that helps more people progress versus get frustrated and quit. Just my two cents though. To each their own!
