Beginner Ollie Progress: how I learned to ollie for the first time (beginner skateboard vlog)

You guys can watch my last video is you're gagging for more: bit.ly/Hegla . Also new video VERY soon doing more stupid shit so keep your knickers in a twist!!! (If you have any nifty tricks and tips let me know pls and tah)

I feel like she's gonna be a pro skater in like 2 years💀

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.

You’re doing great, keep it up 💙🛹💙

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 ❤❤❤

I love to see your progression, you do a good job of levelling out your ollies

Your videos are always worth waiting for!

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

your videos are great for motivating fellow beginners like myself!

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.

I am so happy you are still making skateboarding content. thats the reason i subscribed. keep em coming!

Great content! Having turned 50 recently and relearning how to skate after some years of hiatus, I dig your approach. Keep it up!

you put some really great tips in here. It was cool to see your journey!

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.

It's great to see ya sticking to it 👊

your ollies are looking awesome!!! great progress! i don’t have a board (i rollerskate) but i still respect the ride. you rock! :D

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!

Sick vid again. Helping UK skate scene keep growing. Time for the Glazer reaction vid I reckon 😂

ur videos made me to planning start doing skate. There are so entertaining <3

Whatever you do is so enthusiastic and entertaining, very cute too!!
