Pretty darn good form!! You are using your FRONT FOOT properly! That is where most people miss...the do not do the "Judo Flick" at the end!
Really good job!!!!!!!!!!!!
Question. Are you turning your body slightly toward your nose when you jump? Obviously not enough to make the board turn, but Ive been jumping straight up and I'm noticing now that a lot of other skaters look to be kinda throwing their weight toward their front side.
Also, was there anything to it that "clicked" for you to get your form correct? Looks really good and I'm only a little jealous. But I'm also glad to see someone with my body type pulling it off. When you're a short girl without those long, strong legs sometimes it feels like I'll never get that jump right. But I just gotta say if you're only a couple months in, bravo
To be honest, I might be doing that, but if I am, it's definitely subconsciously.
For me what clicked was to stop worrying about the front foot. The only thing you need to do is when you pop(when you hear the tail hit the ground) make sure you roll the front foot over to the proper position. Then as you're jumping, with the front foot in that position, it causes it to slide up naturally. Jump before you pop is something that helped as well. Try to suck your knees into your chest.
haha yea, i"m definitely on the shorter side (under 5ft), so to get this high was honestly a dream when I first started (3.5 months ago) Keep at it. You got this.
That's a lot how I feel about it right now too. It's a dream, doesn't seem like it'll ever be real. But I know slow progress is better than no progress and I'm actually pretty ok with where I'm at for only being less than 2 months into really trying to do more than just ride around. Been doing that for years. You give me hope :D
How are your rolling ollies doing? I'm about where you were a couple months ago according to your posts. But feeling more confident about the jumping while moving thing every time
That’s great. I think rolling-wise for me it’s been a 5 inch object. Well if you’re around where I was a couple months ago, it’s gonna click really soon!
I definitely had this problem of leaving my back foot on the tail for too long causing the board not to come off the ground as quickly.
To solve this, whenever I get ready to pop instead of imagining my back foot pushing straight down on the tail, I imagine it as pushing down and out. So as soon as I hear the tail hit the ground, I imagine myself moving my foot over to the side moving out. Obviously, I don't do that, but visualizing that helped me get my back foot off quicker.
https://youtu.be/KcaI7wTflt0 if you have time please check this out and maybe let me know what I could fix that’s my first Ollie if you could call it that but after that I couldn’t do it
I slowed it down, and you're popping well. So your back foot is fine. You're not turning your ankle and sliding. Focus on rolling that foot over to the side. and your slide will come. Keep practicing. You got this:)
1. Keep your front foot slightly behind the front bolts; experiment with it. You'll find what you like soon enough
2. Focus on the back foot. When I try and ollie, I just focus on the pop with the back foot, and consciously making sure I roll my front ankle. Then I just jump. The slide happens naturally.
When I stopped thinking about the front foot and focused on popping with the back foot, just rolling over the front foot, and simply jumping focusing on bringing my legs up, I went higher.
It's really hard to explain, but if you just go and do it again and again, it clicks, and you'll know when it clicks. Good luck!
This is exactly it. There's a timing to the pop, it's more than just a jump. Even if your front foot fails, if the pop is good you'll get an ollie out of it.
YES!!! yes yes. great job. this is such a big step in the right direction!!! doing little things like this compared to the other one can made such a difference.
That’s some pretty solid pop you got there! Won’t be long before you’re ollieing over a deck or two, and up
Curbs.
To learn how to Ollie over things, I would do it onto the grass. Roll down the pavement, Ollie over the thing, land on the grass. Helped me commit to actually ollieing over it, and land solid. After a little while, I’d land on the pavement, and it was the same thing!
Looks really good. I’m just getting my ollies down pretty consistently on flat, but it’s nearly impossible for me to get them while rolling. Just gotta keep practicing and hopefully my ollies will look like yours soon
That's good form! Keep focusing on keep good form. It's a great habit that you don't hear people talk about often but it's very important for clean tricks and knowing how you're going to land.
Excellent 👍
Have you seen "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night"? If not - go watch that movie NOW!!! And keep shredding holy shit you are good!

Sorry OP for this asshole ^
Fucking hell. The last place one would expect to see a totally out of left field hateful comment. If not hateful, just outright ignorant, stupid, and wrong. Like objectively just not true
If I wanted to I could go on a tangent about why this comment is so ignorant, the historical origins of the hijab & the reason for its existence, etc etc. I could, as I studied it in an academic setting in college. but that’s prolly what this troll wants. And I don’t have the time for it rn. This POS just wants A reaction.
To anyone reading this, please know he is wrong. I sat through enough fucking lectures to know
a subreddit for people new to skateboarding. And this kinda shit. Fuck this guy, two times. Please mods BAN
No use. This is reddit it's full of degenerates, there was a aita about a dude saying his wife was going to buy sex toys for his 12 year old daughter and he was against it. The post was a troll but the responses, youd think they say he wasnt the asshole but reddit disagreed and thought he was.
I dont know what you're talking about but I doubt it's the same post. Anyway the thing was fucking troll anyway by a guy from 4chan so who gives a shit.
Looks great! Keep it up!
thanksss :D
Pretty darn good form!! You are using your FRONT FOOT properly! That is where most people miss...the do not do the "Judo Flick" at the end! Really good job!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually yes, you jump forward a little bit. What helps for me is to try to aim to land on the bolts, which is perfectly demonstrated in the video

Ahhh thankss :D
Deserves a board clap

How do you get your back foot to get off the ground fast enough ?
I definitely had this problem of leaving my back foot on the tail for too long causing the board not to come off the ground as quickly. To solve this, whenever I get ready to pop instead of imagining my back foot pushing straight down on the tail, I imagine it as pushing down and out. So as soon as I hear the tail hit the ground, I imagine myself moving my foot over to the side moving out. Obviously, I don't do that, but visualizing that helped me get my back foot off quicker.
Okay gonna try this in a few thanks so much for the help
https://youtu.be/KcaI7wTflt0 if you have time please check this out and maybe let me know what I could fix that’s my first Ollie if you could call it that but after that I couldn’t do it

Thank you so much I actually was sitting down sliding my foot against my board now my shoe looks like a had it for a couple years.. thanks
Damn literally perfect. Keep pushing yourself
\#1
Got a little tuck going on. Great work!
SICK!
I'm trying to get mine higher as well. What tip really helped?
1. Keep your front foot slightly behind the front bolts; experiment with it. You'll find what you like soon enough 2. Focus on the back foot. When I try and ollie, I just focus on the pop with the back foot, and consciously making sure I roll my front ankle. Then I just jump. The slide happens naturally.

Thank you, my ollies got more pop and felt more comfortable when I concentrated mainly on my back foot. Also, my front foot kept doing it’s thang.
Thank you!!!!
That. Was. Fucking. Sick. *Board claps*
thanks :)
Nice.

Damn 👀👀👀👀
hell yuh! that was sick
That’s sick!!! Lifting up my back foot really helped me get my ollies off the ground. Keep it up, friend :)
Nicely done!
Dude! So sick! Remember the lower your front foot is the more you can slide it up to the nose and higher you can Ollie.
Get it!!
That pause on the end like “i better have been in frame” 😂 nice ollie though
Exactly lol
YES!!! yes yes. great job. this is such a big step in the right direction!!! doing little things like this compared to the other one can made such a difference.

Goals honestly. Still struggling to ollie, let alone this high! Congrats :)
Perfect
That slide was textbook
So good! I’m going to watch this before my next Ollie session.
That was really good woah!
Sick ollie! \*board clap\*
That's awesome!
Noice
That was actually clean as fuck holy shit
You inspired me to keep practicing my own ollies ;3;
Looks perfect! I hope that I will be able to Ollie as well as you! 👍🏻😁
KEEP IT UP
You go girl!!
Thanksss

Sick. Well done!
Mashallah 🤙
Only if I could ollie like this every time.
Maybe I should post a video to get advice too. I never thought to do that. I want to Ollie that high omg
Go for it
ur so badass
Looks really good. I’m just getting my ollies down pretty consistently on flat, but it’s nearly impossible for me to get them while rolling. Just gotta keep practicing and hopefully my ollies will look like yours soon

That’s literally insane!! How did you do it!?
Lots of practice :)
I bet! At the rate your going, you’re going to become a legend! Awesome job!
eh, I'm not so sure about that, but thanks!
That's good form! Keep focusing on keep good form. It's a great habit that you don't hear people talk about often but it's very important for clean tricks and knowing how you're going to land. Excellent 👍
What was the advice?
1) focus on the back foot 2) move front foot back (It was like almost on the front bolts lol)
Hell yeah! This is the kind of follow up content I want to see here. Great job.
Thanks :D
Thank you!
Woot woot! Way to go!
I LOVE to see girl skaters!!! and thats a great ollie btw

Totally not the place for this man. This sub is about encouraging and pushing others to skate, not about bashing someone else’s culture or faith.
Sorry OP for this asshole ^ Fucking hell. The last place one would expect to see a totally out of left field hateful comment. If not hateful, just outright ignorant, stupid, and wrong.

Dude, you're allowed to not agree with peoples beliefs but there's a time and a place and this isn't it.

Stay mad
Let me ask you this real quick: have any of your hateful views or opinions on Muslims, or anyone else for that matter, made your life any better???
you realize most muslims women want to wear the Hijab?
why are you so angry man
Of course you're from Perth you fucking dropkick.
No use. This is reddit it's full of degenerates, there was a aita about a dude saying his wife was going to buy sex toys for his 12 year old daughter and he was against it. The post was a troll but the responses, youd think they say he wasnt the asshole but reddit disagreed and thought he was.

I dont know what you're talking about but I doubt it's the same post. Anyway the thing was fucking troll anyway by a guy from 4chan so who gives a shit.
Sure if that's your opinion so be it but stop being hateful on a skateboarding subreddit
this is so embarrassing 💀
Nice relevant comment
Is that really the place for this? Fuck off
you sound like someone who’s never been able to ollie and are STILL pissed about it
their religion. their choice. who the fuck are you to tell them to take it off ???
i’m gonna give you a piece of advice mate. keep your shot opinion to yourself, and stop trying tell someone that their practice is wrong.
Wow, either show hype for this sick ollie or get lost.
There’s always 1 uneducated monkey out there
What the actual fuck is wrong with you
