Shred on Shredder!
Being a skateboarder as well, the one thing that I realized that really makes your tail do the work is remembering to really pull up on the front leg, which you have to do in a skateboard Ollie
would you say doing an ollie with on a snowboard is just the same movement on a skateboard? or are there subltle differences?
Yes there are differences, some of them more than subtle. The main one is that on a skateboard when you push down on the tail, the tail drops (because you are kind of off the ground on your wheels) versus on a snowboard, the first board movement will be the nose coming up and your tail is already as far down as it will get. The second big difference is that a skate Ollie involves a lot of footwork, where a snowboard Ollie is far more of a whole body weight movement.
@@eddiemanzani9365 Personally I find snowboard ollies are much easier than on a skateboard. You don’t have the “fear factor” of not landing on the board and fall. Also, the footwork is much less. I got a really nice Ollie on my snowboard the first time I tried it on flat ground with the correct technique of using the tail to pop off the ground. However, it took a lot more practice on a skateboard.
Ollie’s on a skateboard is I’m guessing so much more difficult in fact some take years to really hone it in. When first learning to skateboard your recommended to take a little while just getting comfortable. You also have to kick your front foot in order to fully level it out. Popping is also much different. If you have a good Ollie than there is no factor of not landing on the board because the motion you use keeps the board with your feet.
Strapped in in the basement on carpet and practiced for about an hour. Thank you for a great video and excellent instructions. Going to keep trying at home until I get onto the snow.
I'll be 42 this month and have been skateboard as a kid and into my early 20s. Been snowboarding since I was fifteen. Thanks Ed...it's always nice to have a refresher tips for tricks!
Awesome, keep shreddin it
Keep crushing it man! Love the content you post!
Ive seen many ollie tutorials but this one is not only great but hella motivating!! Gonna shred it tomorrow on the hill 🤙🏼
Love this video, I keep coming back to rewatch it. And improving as it goes. Thanks for teaching
this video was so helpful. can't wait to get out there and try it.
I'm super hype for this season.
Awesome vid! I didn't even know I needed this!
Great tutorial, thank you 🙏🏻🙌🏻
I think this is he best 'how to' ollie on youtube. thanks. will try this tomorrow
Wow! This is the best video explaining Ollie. Thank you. 👍 and Subscribed!
Excellent explanation
Love this snow board for my 7 year old son. He wanted to learn how to snowboard and this was a perfect board to try out his skills. The Velcro binding is way better then the plastic. It makes for easy on and off because he still does need to walk back up the hill. This board is not meant for the ski slopes but perfect for the steep hills and golf courses are our neighborhood. Great buy!
Very good video! I will practice in living room !
Love it dude - keep up the great vids
Thanks Will 🤙
this video really makes me want to try and master this trick
Thank you ❤
Thank you so much
This will improve my ride
nice one, thank you 🙏 l will work on it
love your videos!
Thank you!
Thanks for this!
My pleasure!
The most thorough ollie video I've seen. Now I just need to practice!
Love this channel bro! Keep it up, I’ve watched quite a few of the videos here over and over again. Very entertaining and informative! 🤙🏾✊🏾
Great video, good job!
thanks imba!
I am surprised this channal only has a little over 7k subs it's really good.
Thanks.
Hey man you’re awesome. Even though I’m an avid boarder your videos help me because it helps me realize mistakes and try things a different way. The right way. And keep up the great work
Thank you 🙏 it even helps me sometimes to watch the videos
@@ShredSchool1 yeah man your videos are great keep up the great work!👍
Thanks for the tutorial, I've been skateboarding for 2 years now and going to try snowboarding for the first time the day after tomorrow, this'll be a great help!
This is reeeeeealy well explained thx
🙏
Dude great tutorial. Thank you. Subbed.
Awesome 👊
I’ve had probably a total of 20 days in the mountain spread throughout a span of 10 years, I learned as a kid with 11 years old and it feels like riding a bike, you never forget how to ride but doing jumps? It seemed way to distant until this year, I didn’t go to any park or big jumps because it’s 2 days and I don’t want to ruin them injuring my self but I had massive fun learning how to ollie, take off on the side of the track and the little bumps, trying 180’s (almost had them). Snowboard is way too fun, I’m glad I can do just those 2/3 days a year.
Looking good
Sick tutorial
What flex is good? I have gnu riders choice wide is this good for starting learning jumps? I wanted to buy yes basic too but i soo that the flex is near mine bord, what am i missing? Many says the the yes board is good for hitting jumps but gnu is not so pop friendly.thank you
Cool thing to do to get the feel of your board is to find flat ground and try to hop on your tail and nose like a seesaw. You start to get comfortable and you will hop higher eventually popping stationary ollies and nollies back and forth. I like to to this for warm ups and it looks like you are goofing around wich is fun
I just found out i have always been doing this wrong, i kept hoping with my own strength and never have enough air time and due to excessive strength i used on hopping made my upper body very very unstable mid air
don't feel bad, i've been hopping off everything up to 10 foot jumps for a decade. I didn't even know I was doing this wrong for so long. I absolutely cannot wait for this season
@@soulure already setup a few trips this year, lets get this thing right
thx man i what to be on a board more and i have only been standing on one for 4 hours in my life (and i am going to go somewhere with my school so thx)
Hi thanks for the video, im like the lady on the video can jump high is really hard any tip? Im really beginner and my board feels so heavy
Absolutely the best guidance for ollie. Great job
🙏
this was beautiful, where is the setting?????
Never thought about matching the take-off and not the landing, cant wait to try it out. Thanks man!
Glad to help!
Hum, kinda interesting video! I found out some usefull tips for myself in the vid. In addition as a rider who's desperately trying to learn stable and high ollie i often face some more failures and mistakes l'd like to share:
1) when trying to pop off the ground the tail of my board slips out either in front of me or behind
2) when the nose of the board is in the air it sometimes feels almost impossible to jump with just back leg
3) landing on the front foot first
4) it looks like i am trying so hard to jump higher on my own and snowboard doesn't help me with it's flex so i can't imagine how do i take off for one meter off the ground.
I am not a native English speaker so i apologize if something isn't understandable
sounds like you're having either a softer board or a borad with heavy rocker. The stiffer the board and the more camber in the tail the more "supportive" it will be with ollies. Maybe its just this what makes you feel not getting much support from your board? Think you can test this by going in a manual-position and seeing how much you have to "force" the board to bend. If this feels easy there is not much loading going into the board.
@@makoko6812 oh i thoughy it was easier to olie with a softer board!
Awesome explanation, I'm just starting to snowboard but I can't wait to learn and use this
Nothing like poppin ollies and doing butters....never gets old. Nice vid man.
I grew up skateboarding and I can affirm, if you wanna shred well skateboarding will mos def help.
Started skiing with my Dad at age 7 and when I was 15 in 95 that was the first time I saw snowboarders. Tryed it and started next season and have never looked back.
Enjoy your season brother!
ya I tried to ollie off the smallest jump, one that I hit times just jumping with no issues, and I broke my wrist. So much for that. I will have to stick with just jumping off both feet vs this front to back ollie stuff.
Sounds like you need to practice on the ground and rollers first
Dude. This is the best tutorial. Clean and clear. Love your style, too.
Thanks dude 🤙
The board is strapped to your feet... what part of this is so hard to figure out?
@@ShredSchool1 poser 👎
@@geniocristo5297 are you ok Genio?
@Genio Cristo what makes him a poser? The fact he's trying to help people or that he's teaching proper technique? Doesn't matter if the board is strapped to your feet. If you try and jump straight up pulling 10+ pounds, good luck getting any height. Most people can't jump straight up more than a couple feet without extra weight.
Don't know why you gotta be rude for no apparent reason...
TIL I’ve been hopping and Ollie is a thing on a snowboard. Apparently you lean forward and “load your tail” because there’s no fulcrum from the truck but it’s largely the same. Thanks
I’m buying my first board but I’m used to 150 what size do you recommend. I’m 5”10 200lb
So, we level in the jump to avoid getting the nose accidentally way too down (and thus catching a dangerous front edge), and then adjust to landing angle so to not land on tail way too heavily, right?
underrated channel
🔥
Great breakdown! When Ollie off an edge, where are you directing your weight? I have an easy enough time on a flat base but when trying to spin, I always feel like the Ollie messes up my balance and I start to just jump straight. I know I’m leaving some pop on the table by doing that. Thanks again for an awesome tutorial!
on frontside and cab spins I really throw my weight in the backseat on the heelside edge and the ollie comes pretty naturally. I use the snap off the tail to avoid prespinning and to push me forward so I don't go too backseat. Backside spins off the toes, I probably ollie less than any other trick, and use my toes a bit more than actually ollieing, but the tail should still be the last to leave the lip. If you watch some backside spins in slow mo from the pros you usually still see that snap that comes with an ollie
Hey, really nice tutorial!
just a couple of question from an intermidiate/advance level snowborder:
1) When you are going really fast on the track in order to jump over an edge and so do a massive ollie ( 50-60 km/h - 3 to 5 mt jump ollie) how do you balance urself just before the takeoff?
Is it correct to take off wile riding on toeside/ heelside ?
2) where do i need too look before the takeoff?
With regards to the video an example could be the ollie at 4.21 but faster.
Since in Italy right now there is only artificial snow I'm practicing going really fast both switch and normal but as i try to jump at this speed over a common track edge i find really difficult to adjust my position correctly before the takeoff and so i end up landing in the worst position ever.
Thank you!|
Will shred school teach me how to ollie better than in this video? Because I was thinking of getting it.
yo ty this was very helpful! as a young snowboarder (im 13) i have been snowboarding for 8 years now (started when i was 5) im always trying to impress my friends with some new cool trick this is going to help a lot with this so thank you! quick question what do u think would be a good trick for an intermediate rider like me to learn?
(edit) do you think it would be good for me to learn how to ride both goofy and regular cause right now i ride left foot forward and i cant ride right foot forward otherwise i fall. so should i learn to ride both ways?
Learning goofy is a lot of fun and it helps a ton with 180s id definitely recommend practicing it.
@@zanemauter3975 yo thx for the info! ye so im prob gunna try learn goofy this season
only 4k subscribers??? your vids are so good
Thank you 🙏 hopefully we'll be at 10k in no time. Anything you want to see next?
Do you have spinning videos whereby you teach popping off an edge? Skateboard style ollie's for spinning jumps kinda throws off my rotation
Yes! It is a bit tricky czcams.com/video/69UUT1WQkqw/video.html
there’s no snow around me right now, and snowboarding season is over. can i practice in my front yard?
Definitely!
What if you are a doing a spin like a FS 360 off a park jump? are you still olling?
Yep, it's more subtle than a straight up ollie, but same motion less exaggerated. I definitely ollie on frontside and switch ollie on cab spins. I probably ollie the least on backside spins
@@ShredSchool1 I feel like popping is more stable. Am I doing my ollie wrong? Also I find it kinda hard to ollie with high speed. :(
I snowboarded as a kid but sadly moved and got into a state where it doesn’t snow, i picked up skateboarding and got pretty good and im going back to snowboard in a few weeks but im afraid the skills won’t transfer or I won’t have the muscle memory from when i was a kid, still very excited tho
Same bro !! But last year i can tell you ! It will take you one day to learn and after it's more easy than other with no experience.
Yeah you’ll get it back. Skateboarding is way harder than snowboarding
@@ShredSchool1 got rona and wasn’t able to travel LOL💀
Yo Ed. Any tips on staying straight when crouching down to ollie? For some reason when I get ready to do a big ollie I tend to veer off to the right.
Yeah, most likely you're turning your shoulders in an attempt to gear up for the ollie. Make sure your shoulders stay parallel to the board, kind of like you're holding a string connected to the nose and the tail with each hand. Aligned shoulders should keep you straight. Let me know if that makes sense!
@@ShredSchool1 It does! I'll try this out tomorrow! Thanks for the vids.
i dont agree on always use a sligtly ollie when do big jumps. I like to pop on big jumps for better balance in the air, spec if i gonna do a 360 or more.
You guys ever see an ad for edshreds while watching edshreds
When and where do you pop?
your tail is the last thing to leave the lip, so you pop as you're getting to the end of the jump
Hey man, I have heard that being on your toe edge when doing/landing an ollie is helpful for your balance that true?
Can be helpful for takeoff. I wouldn’t recommend landing on an edge
@@ShredSchool1 cool thanks!
Do you land flat?
Не сломается доска если так гнуть ее?
This is the most informative video I’ve watched on learning to ollie. Would it get more views if you were speaking to camera on the slopes? Also, feel your search intro might be causing viewers to jump off. Thanks for the great info though.
Thank you 🙏 glad it was helpful
It’s all about having hard boots!!!
While ollies are great for small obstacles, it's more of a pop you're after when doing larger jumps as it easily throws you off balance.
I can do it pretty well when standing or going with super low speed, but when I go a little bit faster(still slow tho) I can not do it.
Baby steps, practice right at the edge of where you can still do it. Like increasing the metronome every time you practice a song on the instrument, just tiny increases and practice at the edge of your abilities without going beyond
Tried to follow your video tips, ended up doing 360 flip instead, pretty cool tho
The main difference from skateboarding ollie to snowboarding ollie is that skatboarders jump off their front leg and pop the tail with their back leg while moving up, while snowboarders use the same back leg to jump and pop at the same time while the front foot lifts the board with it.
i ride goofy skating and regular snowboarding, took me ages to learn to ollie cuz it was backwards so I could only nollie on the slopes. this helped a lot thx
Good tips, and yes the ollie is important. However, so is learning pop,
The timing is way easier on a pop and you can still get good height so long as you time it right. I find with spin tricks it’s easier to take off in a pop rather than popping only off the tail.
How do I do this at speed?
Progressively work up the speed like speeding up scales on a guitar
Can you Please teach me?
I literally put ALL my strength into, and i can't jump high at all :( My legs get tired so fast. I guess is a good work out lol
i love snowboarding but i dont live in a place where it snows, i only can go once every 2 years😢
That sucks! Can you skateboard or surf? I skateboard and it fills the void and makes you better at snowboarding.
I can ollie, I can nollie, but i can't do it switch. It's like my brain isn't talking to my legs.
that's a tough one! I started practicing it on a skateboard more and it helps with the switch snowboard ollie
Lmao I just got a shred school ad on this video
👀 must be a sign
When should you hop rather then ollie
When you’re on a scooter or pogo stick, otherwise Ollie it is
@@ShredSchool1 haha 🤣🤣 love it
@@ShredSchool1 I thought pop off jumps , Ollie on flat ground
You ride camber?
Yes
I just started practicing this trick , my problem I can’t jump high enough :(
Start doing barbell squats in the gym
Jump?
I watched a video recently on olllie, said to jump bringing front foot up then back foot - I tried and got little air
This is by far the best explanation, I'm also so glad you emphasize on the importance of learning this
i disagree with ollie'ing off a kicker - the kicker is already sending you up, and ollie'ing off the lip increases your chances of being in the back seat. Just my 2 cents, otherwise, awesome vid.
Tommie Bennet says: use Pop in terrainpark and use Ollie only for flat ground terrain, or drops.
czcams.com/video/QR_AygdBEiI/video.html
So as you are both experts.. I am confused now. For me its really hard to Ollie in strong kicking jumps. It makes me unstable if I ollie at the end of an e.g. table jump. Tommy says basically same in his Video.
I noticed also..if you have a stiff Camber board, then ollie is easier and saving energy on flat ground. If you have a soft rocker board, it does not a lot of support, making ollies even bit lower than pop.
The skateboard comparison is a bit misleading, as you cant pop a skateboard (missing binding). but place a binding onto a skateboard and you jump higher when using pop
This is how I see it. In general:
1. if I need to get up high, or get some clearance to jump onto a feature, then Ollie.
2. if you are gonna get some height off a jump, or a side hit, you don't need the extra height, so just pop.
in the end, if you are comfortable with pops and Ollies, you'll know when to use either. There's no rules, just try and see what works for you
Tommie Bennett also mentions (can't remember what video) that you should pop 2 feet in park jumps BUT should wait until your tail is about to leave the lip.... so it's basically, in effect, an ollie.
@@Dluiogbre the difference between ollie and pop is anyways only 10% or even less, regarding height
@@winterzahn maybe, but the Ollie is a lot more effortless to get the maximum height vs a two footed pop (on flat ground at least).
100% agree with Tommie Bennet. Also, it's a lot harder to spin off an ollie than a pop. You rarely see ollie in slope style contests.
So confusing. I have had actual pros tell me they don't ollie off of big kickers but "pop" off of both feet. Especially during spins and flips.
It is correct to say that you "pop" , but I think of that as a subtle ollie because the tail still snaps. It's the exact same motion just more subtle. You don't want to jump with both feet at the same time or you will leave the lip early (and probably eat sh** if it's a big jump), you still want your tail to leave the lip last
Why does everyone in this video ride regular?
Goofy version is on the website
except you shouldn’t ollie on big park jumps because it can throw you off balance
Ollie? OHIO🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Huh?
You can barely ride and you are trying to teach?
Who can barely ride, everyone in this video?
One thing I think you missed, it definitely helps if you have a softer board. You have a stiff board, it would be nearly impossible to do ollies.
this is not true, you could ollie on a 2x4. Usually you just get more snap back on a stiffer board
@@ShredSchool1 And as I said, "definitely helps". As you make the nice correlation with skateboarders, they do have the advantage to lift the board by stepping on the tail. .However, snowboarders have an even greater advantage by flexing the board to pickup the board in addition to the weight shifting. However, i don't see how you would with a 2X4. Unless you call a hop, an ollie.
honestly sometimes its harder with a softer board because the tail doesn't snap back. A little stiffer and the board does more of the work for you@@NickSmith-hv9zi wouldn't want people to think it's "nearly impossible"
@@ShredSchool1 Agree to disagree. I ride a 120W just for fun at times. From experience it is impossible to Olly. It looks ugly more like of a retarded hop. No difference ollying a stiff board. You can spin it anyway you want. That is why park boards are inherently softer to help such maneuvers. By the way, i tried a 2X4. Not happening. (in the garage of course, not willing to look like an idiot on your expense). Try it.
I hear ya, definitely more fun with a little flex@@NickSmith-hv9zi
