STOPP I hope so damn

I think the number one tip for learning to skate is to skate everywhere, all the time. Just feeling comfortable and in control will help a TON with your skating overall.
I agree pal, even just going to the shop and when you get good you don't have to walk!
You basically got it. Now all you have to do is keep doing it. Repetition is the real key to better ollies. So happy for you with how far you've come ❤❤❤
yeah now hit el torro
Whatever you do is so enthusiastic and entertaining, very cute too!!
Trying to be enthusiastic about falling on my ass
😂@@HeglaCZcams
Great content! Having turned 50 recently and relearning how to skate after some years of hiatus, I dig your approach. Keep it up!
So much respect for starting up again :D glad to help
I just turned 54 and started again last year after a 25 year hiatus. I’m more obsessed now than I ever was before. But relearning everything is very frustrating. I still can’t ollie again😞
I love to see your progression, you do a good job of levelling out your ollies
AHH thats the best compliment ive been working on that haha
Super stoked to see you still skating. with improving your ollies, try to push your front foot more forward towards the nose in the air instead of down towards the ground and try not to panic and rush it. Have fun though theyre already looking great
Getting higher and consistent ollies takes a good while, all advice I'd give is try playing with the foot position; back foot foot a bit more on the tail and focus on getting a strong pop and the front foot to get as much contact with the board as possible as that's the foot giving it lift and also when you get higher makes sure it levels it out so you can land on it safely. It's pretty damn good progress so far. Hopefully this makes sense, it's how I thought of the process for myself.
your ollies are looking awesome!!! great progress! i don’t have a board (i rollerskate) but i still respect the ride. you rock! :D
ayy glad you stick around for the 4 wheels even though you're an 8 wheeler
You got it. After you pop the tail with your feet via your ankle, bring your rear leg up, almost as if you are bringing your knee to your chest. The bottom of your rear feet seems to be capping how high your Ollie gets. Then again, you look great going thru the progression.
Im like just in the same place as you at my skateboarding journey! Going outside to polish my ollies andanuals! ❤
TWINSSS we love to see it
Your videos are always worth waiting for!
It's great to see ya sticking to it 👊
I am so happy you are still making skateboarding content. thats the reason i subscribed. keep em coming!
You’re doing great, keep it up 💙🛹💙
your videos are great for motivating fellow beginners like myself!
YES a new video!!!!
finally!!!!!
maybe try start jumping just before popping the board and play around with the timing of it a bit. this will stop your back foot pinning the tail to the ground and taking away some of the height of your ollie ❤❤
idk that’s just something that helped me with the timing n stuff
also imagine you’re trying to float with the board. this will help you stay in the air longer as you won’t be focusing on quickly pushing the board down and landing on it.
keep up the amazing work we’re all cheering you on!!
SUPER HELPFUL TIP!! thanks bro
I had been skating like 15 years before I was able to actually articulate that you need to jump up before you pop down to get more height. Otherwise you're really just fighting you're own body weight. There's a youtuber on here called "why the trick" that does physics simulations of tricks (and has a great one on pop) and where your body weight is that I personally find super helpful. At least let me describe it all so I could start to reason about what I was doing wrong personally.
@@HeglaCZcams no problem, keep skating and you got this!! ❤️❤️
This is perfectly informative and impossible not to learn off!
Ps the music is 🔥
ur videos made me to planning start doing skate. There are so entertaining
So excited 🎉🎉
It feels so weird cuz where im from it isnt considered an ollie until you stop rocket shipping i struggled a lot but it gave me determination to do a "real ollie" yk
The learn to manual to help your ollie tip is golden, will put that to use
One thing I noticed is, you are "kicking" with your front foot.
Move your front foot to be on the middle of the skate, with your heels out of the board.
When you push the ground with your back foot, your front food will "slide" on the board instead of kicking the board into compliance.
The full motion is: you will jump using your back foot and your front foot will naturally move up (try at home without the board, kids). When your back foot is actually leaving the ground (at this point the front of the board will be 30-45 degrees up in the air) your front foot will then slide forward to reach at little further than the front screws (remember, your foot was in the middle of the board before). By "reaching" the front screws, your board will "naturally" straighten up(ish) in the air.
If you've done everything successfully, your front foot will be in the general area of the front screws when you land.
There is a "ollie super slow motion" video that shows this movement in detail.
The main thing about learning any new tricks, either on rolling kind of skates or the boarding kind of skates, is realising what you are doing wrong, breaking into A, B, C, D and fixing one at the time.
"Seeing the footage I can see my front foot is on the wrong position (A), I am leaning back too much (B) and my back foot is actually leaving the board before the board even touches the ground (C)."
You should try and fix A and maybe B, but fixing A, B, C and D all at once will not help you understand which one is affecting you the most.
I am a rollerblader (never been on rollerskates) and I plan to learn Skateboard next week. I used to skateboard A LOT when I was a kid, 12-14 y.o., and used to do a lot of tricks. It's been 10 years now so I remember the theory, based on my own struggles, but I've had no practice. That's why next week I am buying a new skateboard and seeing how short is my muscle memory. I used to look up to Rodney Mullen and try to do the "easiest" tricks like the casper, heli pop or darkslide. Now I will praise the Dogs if I can do an ollie without embarrassing myself.
That's how I found you by the way, and now I am a fan. Keep on practicing. Your attitude is kick ass!
watching you go from a newb with deer legs to having the ollie down was amazing.
I just started skating about a month ago and I have a collection of videos on my phone exactly like your ollie attempts 🤣 I'm not quite up to your level yet, still having a hard time bringing the back foot up to allow the board to flatten out, so your progress gives me hope!
Sick vid again. Helping UK skate scene keep growing. Time for the Glazer reaction vid I reckon 😂
when you add that forward momentum helps guide your feet trajectory. I remember practice olling onto grass little off little baby curbs
cant wait too see your kickflip video
Little late to the party but i doubled the height of my ollie in like 5 minutes by sliding my front foot up the board until i reached the top of my jump rather than pushing it down before that point and it seems like every new skater does this
for people wondering. 5:20, jumping higher. put your back foot toes on half the tail/fin or less than half so that your back foot is floating off the board
Awesome videooo
In the comments are allot of great advice already. The thing I want to add is, that every skatetrick needs muscle memory. To get this muscle memory, your muscles have to develop first. You will get stronger pop and technique over time, if you just keep practicing. Look at it like weightlifting. At the start you can only lift small weights, but if you train long enough, you will lift heavier and heavier weights. Its the same with getting better and higher ollies.
Yay new skate video
i found you off Ricky Glaser lol. keep it up and keep us updated on the journey!!
Woo hoo _ will book my seat for the next premiere 😊🛹
LOVE THAT !!! always so supportive thanks bro
my favvv videeeeosss
great job!
hi, i found your videos because of Ricky Glaser and thank you so much for all the advice in your videos!! I can do some ollies but I want to ✨improve✨them like jumping higher and being able to do them every time at almost every place(Sometimes I get nervous when I'm meeting persons I know/don't like on the street while I'm skating) Soo, again: Thank you so so much!!
I'm just here because I'm a beautiful subscriber and love you so much😅❤️ The ollie montage was amazing and great progress!😎🤟🏼
I used to ollie like that until i get that i was not really jumping and just bending my knees and getting back to them straight, it will just hurt your knees. Try to keep up in the air without trying to get back to the ground as fast as possible. It will help, but takes time to get that in your mind.
Keep up the good work !
5:54 That's me!!!!!!!! Can't believe I've found myself when looking for inspo... WILD
Front leg middle, pop the tail tip/edge with the ball under your big toe. The closer your feet are at the starting position, the higher you can jump. You need to let the board slide against the side of your shoe, your current foot position is possible and looks ultra clean if you can pull it off but your ollie game isn’t strong enough to pop the board high enough to do it without the slide.
It’s definitely bringing up the back foot, try to tuck your legs into your chest after you pop, but like really focus on bring it up as your sliding, also I find moving Ollie’s easier cause you can jump forward to get that height. Also keep your shoulders parallel to the board and you’ll land more straight.
Think of ollies as dragging your foot a little more forward and a little less up. That was the tip I got at the skate park that made my ollies 10x cleaner in like 2 hours

Oh heck yeahh
heheeee!!
when you ollie, imagine bringing both knees to your chest. it helped me soo much getting them higher and it will also help level out the board. hope it helps lol
I tired an ollie on pavement after not skating since being a wee kiddo. Instantly slipped and fell on my ribs lol.
Wake up hegla uploaded
Try ollie over stuff like line cracks, pencils, branches ect then up to curbs and 8ff them. Then over s skateboard and off stairs start off with 2 stair and work your way up.
You're awesome 🛹💯
convinced this is york uni it looks so familiar
good job sis
5:22 holy shit my comment made it in the video that's so sick I'M FAMOUS i'm sorry I'm just getting excited lol
Also I'm excited for the shoves I can't wait 👍😃👍
Hai Helga!! Kinda late and might get buried in this section but I think you don’t have to bend your legs the low before jumping (squatting your legs to a 90° should be enough)
It’ll make you use more energy unnecessarily and force your back foot to stay to the ground for longer than it has to be which means the deck won’t go as high when you jump.
Good luck!!!1!1!1!1!1!!!
I did my first really good Ollie today and got kinda close to a kick flip
Hegla, Wonderful video of your Ollie Progress. I know you play the piano. Have you thought about learning a different musical instrument? That would be wonderful to see you learn that. I am a music teacher and if you need help getting started or you would like an instructional reaction video; I would gladly help.
Also something I found useful. You should jump before you even press the back foot down. I mean like jump as a priority and as your body is already moving upwards extend your foot to pop the tail. If you are still full body weight on tail when you pop it you won’t get as much pop. Long ass paragraph I hope it helps lol
Yeah Its tricky bc it's just like jumping off of one leg but your jumping foot goes down, then up
But youre really jumping off of two legs
Try jumping with your back foot as soon at the tail taps the ground.
Need to start doing it rolling because it’s a hole different monster.
You've got it, one thing it think I causing you a problem, is your grip is looking pretty worn. New grip will help you ollie higher, if you can afford it though I'd be thinking about replacing that deck, it looks like it's probably lost a lot of pop. Just make sure you get roughly the same size deck and you'll be fine £25-30 is enough for something perfectly good, any more and you're only really paying for the graphic.
Waitin for ricky
Not sure if this comment will reach you..
THE TIMING,
You can do everything right, but if you dont time each movement correctly, you won't reach the maximum height. Poor timing of when to slide your foot up the board, can cause a rocket ollie, for instance. Improper timing of when to POP the board, will hinder the height of the ollie. Try to keep in mind, before you pop your board, you FIRST want your momentum from your jump to be carrying you upwards. If you try to initate the POP while your squating down, or at the very bottom of the squat, your pop won't be as effective. Besides, the jump is the basis of an ollie, you have to initiate that first.
And while we are on the topic of POP, ensure that when you pop your board, you're using your ankle too (don't be flat footed). Push the balls of your feet down to the ground, the ankle movement should be reminicent of trying to quickly go on your tippy toes. Rememer, you should only be initiating the ollie once your jumping momentum is already beginning to carry you upwards, therfore, the back of your board should not be getting shoved down to the ground (POP) by the weight of your body, your ankle should be doing the work for you :)
Something i'm also noticing, is that you're bending down too far down for the jump. You actually don't jump as high once you bend down too far. This advice is based on basketball dunkn tutorials, of which I apply to basketball, skateboarding, and the epidomy of the male ego; having the ability to jump up and touch a hanging object.
Jokes aside, You will use less energy if you don't bend down too far, and the jumping portion of your ollie will feel more natural.
You seem to understand the other fundementals of the ollie, just take everything slow and try to apply all these movements. There's only one way to ollie, if something isn't working, it's always because your doing something wrong (talking from personal experience). Having the ability to break down tricks to individual movements, and figure out which portion is the portion that's failing, is quite helpful.
Hope this helps, and sorry if its long-winded, I do enjoy mansplanning.
To get higher ollies just practice it’s take me like 2 months to master Ollie then don’t go straight to kick flip try to front side 180 or back side 180 watch like Ricky glasser or brallie skateboarding.ur Ollie’s are looking good now
You need to open your leading hip as/after you pop the board to allow you to more easily slide your front foot forward with knee and ankle action. The hip opening will point your front knee a little more forward. If you watch slow motion videos of pro skaters, you'll see their front knee actually goes out in front of the board during the pop. As you slide your front foot forward, it transfers the front of the board's momentum upward into forward motion (which then causes the tail to come up). The board will actually begin to move forward faster than the rider until the back foot catches the tail of the board and slows it down. Watch how the board moves in relation to the skater in this slow motion video: czcams.com/video/339k4XEvbxY/video.html In some of those they are doing a "boned ollie" which is where they kind of do like a ninja kick forward and makes it so they catch the tail of the board really late while the nose is already pointing downward, but you can catch the tail with your back foot as the board comes up to it (without swinging your back leg forward) for a normal ollie.
2:10 bro i can do semi hard tricks like a kickflip and a heelflip but i cant do a manual for more than like 2 seconds
where do you skate?
Lift your popping foot higher, jump into the air bringing your knees into your stomach 🛹👍
Could you imagine she makes it to the olympics 😮
Noice! 🤌🤌🔥🔥 I'm about a year into my skating journey, so totally feel you on the ollie journey, you're doing great! So much good advice already, but i got some from a rando in the skatepark once about my arms. Try and keep your shoulders and arms doing the same thing together as that stops you either leaning too far into the nose or into the tail and keeps you jumping straight up. You're not turning though which is great! Im sure there are some videos on it, but when you bend down, cross your hands infront of your knees (like that weird knee hand dance thing lol), then when you jump up, bring your elbows up keeping a straight line across your shoulders. I really hope that makes sense, but a video would be beneficial 😅 subbed and really looking forward to the shuvit edit! Keep skating! 🛹
how are you hardly ever wearing skate shoes?! That would be making things so much harder
i find it unreal to slide the foot up on the grip am i brain rotten?
Great Video!
Your Progress is really good and your ollies are starting to look much higher.
as a tip maybe try riding around more? cause youll gain so much confidence from just being able to ride really comfortably and fast
I'm sure other ppl have chimed in or 4 months on you've figured it out, but dragging your foot /shoelaces up the board is really not a good tip for how to ollie. Technically maybe those things happen, but you want to kick that front foot forward after you have the popped the board

2 comments, your board looks quite delammed, a new deck would have a lot more pop, so you might be being held back a bit through no fault of your own.
The second thing is you could practice what my buddies used to call hang time, where instead of trying to do the whole Ollie as one fast movement you’d pop up and then hold your legs up near your body for as long as you can before landing. You kind of land a bit crouched but you stay in the air a bit longer! You’re doing great though, you’ve inspired me to get myself a board and get back out!
instead of stomping your front foot down, karate kick it out and bring your back foot up a bit more. when you are doing a manual put your back foot closer to the bolts, it should help you balance easier. hope this helps, im also learning to skate rn and these helped me.
