So..... Despite my daughter's eye rolls I ended up getting a board, powell peralta reissue, it had to be done. My birthday was yesterday, I'm 44. This was an awesome video. Great tips! I was not a good skater as a kid so I am really learning all this from scratch. Thanks man!

Love seeing all the comments...I'm 49 now and getting back to skating!! Love all you guys my generation out there nationwide...🤘💪

Yo dude, 48 and trying to get back in after 30 years. Thanks for posting these! I’ve been riding my driveway for two hours a night and trying to get the courage up to Ollie again! Already busted about 10 times, love the pain again haha

I’m 37 and picking it up after 22 years! My brain knows how to Ollie still but my body just can’t do it now lol. I love your progressive instructions and find it very helpful. At my age, it’s the baby steps that help me the most!

I am 55 and learning all over again! Great Vid! I watched this, grabbed my board, and started to practice on the pad in my garage! Never could ollie back in the day, now's the time to learn! Thanks!

Awesome lesson and great tips. 44 here and skated for a year from scratch . This week I’ve started on my Ollie journey and just trying to get comfortable with how it feels. It’s scary with Slow but a little progress. Great channel.

Thanks so much for the video even if it's a few years old. I'm learning to ollie at 48. I skated at 13 for a bit and gave it up. I started a few months ago as my two boys have gotten into skating. I'm loving it and wish I'd never stopped. Your videos are great for this old dog trying to learn new tricks. Keep 'em coming!

Started up again two days ago. Scary when you're 25 years older and nearly a stone and a half heavier. Luckily I could skate when I was young so it's coming back, albeit with more aches and pains than I used to get! Apart from the slams and the initial doubts about my age I feel really good. A new buddy mentored me back into skating and a little 'let's see what happens' trial turned into a five hour session at a mini ramp in the park. Dropping in, rediscovering old skills and finding out I can still shred, a bit, has done me the world of good. Even drew an audience! Its not often you see a balding grey haired guy on a ramp here in the UK. Haven't had so much fun since I don't know when. Cool videos on your channel, subbed. Cheers.

Man! I haven't even seen the first two seconds of the video yet and I'm super stoked. You are a legend sir now I'm gonna watch and learn. Yyuuussss!

Just started at 40, 5 days in. I'm still learning to ride just flat ground, and was riding switch, goofy, and i kept telling myself pack it up. Well i had my hands full with drink and shirt, was carving heel side, and board slipped out. Not gonna lie i hit left elbow hard and my shoulder felt like it reached the top of my head. The other hand had a metal bubba cup which now has a slight dent. Luckily i pray nothing internal broke, i feel ok. But boy in the moment it felt like the worst happened. Skateboarding is fun, but man is it dangerous lol! Will probably invest in all safety gear because the elbow was the one body part i never thought i would hit, i figured wrists, head, or knee. 😅

Mate I am skating again after 25 years, I sucked back then, and I feel like I got this now better than I did back then. Thanks, Great video

Im 38 and I'm trying to relearn my ollie when I was 21 haha and I'm 222lbs wish me luck.

44 and relearning to skate for the second time. Risers b/w your trucks and deck help a lot in terms of getting more pop out of stiffer legs. :)

Dude, your videos are so motivating. Thank you so much.

Take it slowly guys. Build up your muscle strength before anything else, speaking from experience. At 48, it takes longer to warm up and for the cerebellum and inner ear gyro to kick in.

Ive been watching your videos for over a year now. I used to skate alot in primary school in early 2000. For my 26th birthday this year I purchased a brand new deathwish skateboard, independent stage 11 trucks and 54mm wheels, santa cruz hoodie. Im so hyped! keep up the channel, everyone likes you

I picked up some skater trainers. They have been a game changer to regain confidence for Ollie, 180, shuv it, and soon kickflip. I practice with them on for awhile until I consistently land. Then take them off and do it for real. Big confidence builder. Worth it.

Gotta say. Subscribed and love the channel. Coming up on 50 soon and picking up skateboarding for the first time. Sore but loving every minute of it. 3 sessions in on practice and getting maybe an inch here and there. Lol. Keep it up

Sick Lucero deck

You ollie higher not trying to ollie than I do trying my best 😥😥😆😆😆 This tip definitely makes sense to me though, gonna try it...thanks so much 💪💀🤙

Good videos, good info! Thanks!!

Been loving your videos. Just got back into the game because my daughters want to learn. I’m 41 and don’t have the confidence I did as a kid but you’re inspiring me to go for it.

Thankyou for your awesome ch my fellow GenXer! How I studied this trick for so long, my upper thighs were in so much pain by the end of a session :-0 Yes, the sneak inside was necessary, then the garage was needed before eventually mastering them down the local school. It seemed to take so long to unlock, now I'm re-learning and having so much fun again, and the internet helps a helluva lot! Once you start skating it's hard to quit forever I'm finding out. Anyways, keep up the great work, look forward to much more content and stay safe!

Very realistic attitude and approach. I think I’ve really hurt my own timing by forming incorrect muscle memory. This looks like a great way to start over and get that right. At 44, I can feel things that I wouldn’t have felt as a kid! But I think most of that is fighting against my body’s natural mechanics by trying to hard. Thanks for the vid.

I like that advice about rolling slow and just getting the motion without the full commitment. I can Ollie about 2 feet, even boning out, while standing on the same spot. However, as soon as I start rolling, I freeze and just can’t put it together.

Great tutorial! After 25 years of pause & a triple bypass, my son wants to learn skating too - so got us both boards 😅 Relearning everything, and this video helps a lot - thank you! Subscribed 👍

great approach. good to come back to it step by step. Back when I was skating, i took a few weeks break and came back to practising my ollies. And it went better than before. High and fast. I still remember that day. Sometimes, 'forgetting' old patterns and relearning step by step brings better results

Hey man, thank you for your videos. When the pandemic kicked in and we all got locked down here in the uk I bought a cheap board with the hope I could learn to simply roll about. 3 months later and I’m confident in rolling but still nervous about learning tricks. A mix between being over 40, a little heavier and fear of being laughed at. Your videos though are stupidly motivating and prove that it’s possible to pick up a new thing and enjoy it. Tomorrow, I’m out there practicing. Thanks.

Great vid..Great tips!👌👍

Love it man. I started skateboarding a few weeks ago and your videos have been a great source of help and inspiration as a 37 year old learning for the first time. Can’t wait to hit the grass/carpet with this one!

Just watched 3 of ya vids in a row man, just taken skating up again, cheers for the tips 🤟🏻

Thanks, I'll really benefit from that , when I've recovered from fatigue ;) Try that with my ollie attempts. Thanks

33 now started last year when I was 32 . Had some accidents so I actualy skated for a total number of 4-5 months now. Recently trying to ollie , tbh your channel is very very helpful for late skates like me. Keep up the good work, lovin it.

47 yrs old, just got 6 sets straight ollies not much knee tuck yet, just pop, flatten out and roll

because of lockdown im skating again for exercise its a great excercise and fun i still can ollie and kickflip but wow. exhausted after one or 2 tricks. good to see you still skating. wont do too many tricks will learn the basics that i never cared when young. like the wheelie manual and riding switch. wished i used softer wheels cause i was riding super hard wheels.

health and fitness is everything - I rode semi pro cycling way into my 40's. But now I'm in my 50's I just like to ride seriously and skate

Great video! Thx!

Thank you fellow geezer!

I'm watching this and I'm 23 and can ollie consistently. But I still watched this!

I've been riding with my daughter. Started with a cruise board, waiting for my SantaCruz to arrive. Turning 38 this year, goal is to ride a bowl at least. Thanks for the tips! Keep on riding!

Haha.. I used to have that Lucero deck back in the day, inspiring vids BTW thanks.

Thx to this video I done my first Ever Ollie after 2 days of exercises (I`m 38) You are the best mate!!!!

This is exactly what I needed. You should definitely get into a website and sell your tutorial videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together.

Getting comfortable with that jump is a really good tip! Even just doing a little jump on the board without even lifting the front wheels may be a good way to gain confidence at first. I have Skater trainers and I really think they help with getting the correct motion and timing going but after you take them off, you still need to get comfortable jumping while rolling. My biggest problem is just that. It takes me a long time to get going with ollies because at first I'm just too nervous to do that motion while rolling.

Great video Roman starting this way you gradually get comfortable with the motion of the board and your body jumping into the air and landing on your skateboard while rolling and work your way up to the Ollie in little steps

i just subscribed. im 27 and learning. this is inspiring

Très bon conseils. Merci

AWESOME KICKFLIP!!

Nice. YOu back

A board with less kick in the tell is better to learn on cause even folks with fit legs get ghost pop on steep tails.

Sweet kickflip at the end. 🤙

Skater trainers help me, but the problem is, I never want to take them off. Thank you for your tips about doing the little hops while rolling.....

Welcome Back!

Thanks for this advice. i find the ollie terrifying as I failed and ate concrete this morning for just sending it....

Cool video man. Thanks! ps. You should definitely get back in the gym or do plyometrics + calisthenics at home! It helps immensely with what we're trying to accomplish here... also it's good for your over all mood/well-being!

My dang knees lock up

Kk these skateboard videos in my recommended makes me want to dig out my old board. Only 30 but it’s been about 10 years. Last time I skated I landed on my ass so hard I got a concussion.

Sweet !!! One thing though. You gotta pull your back leg up higher so that your Ollie isn’t rocketed and will level out. Suck that back leg higher into your chest once you get fully healed. Your kick flip was awesome!!! I’m so jealous I can’t do them

Word! 👏😎

Lol I remember being made of duct tape and super glue. At 39 if I slam I feel it for near two weeks. Your right on about warming up... Takes about 20 to a half hour just to feel comfortable.

hello and thanks for video! the problem in ollie at 50 is knees for me! hard blows arrive

🔥

Dude, you're back (you weren't really gone though)! Glad the injury is minor. Thanks for the vid. This is exactly what I'm trying to get back in my toolbox. Off to the park in the morning with the kids so they can watch my awesome 2" vertical. Keep the vids coming and don't get hurt! Nice camera work Killian! By the way, what's your 9 to 5? I heard you talk about sand casting your own trucks. You in metal too?

Hey, what wheels are you using in this vid? More harder or softer? They look similar to the wheels I used 20 years ago. I am starting to skate again these days but I can't remember the wheels I used back in the days. Cheers from germany! Nice vids dude.

you don’t need a smaller board !! if kader can kickflip down a set of stairs on a 8.8 deck u can ollie a 9”

I'm a 42 year old woman and wanted to skateboard for years after I did as a kid, i only ever rode around town. i could never Ollie. I have a cruiser, can I learn to ollie on it?

Skater Trainers.. grass & carpet don’t work. My best advice amongst the heaps of ‘How To’ videos is to just get comfortable squatting enough while rolling to get off the ground! The timing of the sequence is exactly what it is... timing. If you haven’t been skating for years and into your 50s, think twice about taking an Ollie on. 60s?! Just don’t. Hope you have a speedy recovery … take it easy man!

Need some support I can ollie but my board turns sideways to the right ( I ride goofy) I know how to Ollie and to keep my shoulders straight, but I’m 99% sure my board turns because I turn my dragging foot to the right, I can’t slide forward for the life of me and it sucks because I try to do a gap or stair set I land primo
