A tip I got as a young teenager that improved my Ollie height was where I placed my foot on the tail. The guy who gave me this tip was able to Ollie onto full sized picnic tables no problem and I asked him how he does it and he said it’s all in your foot placement on your back foot. He explained that Ollie’s not only have to do with how well your technique and jump is, it’s in the foot placement to get more pop. He showed me a demonstration, by laying the board by itself then stepping hard on the tail, he showed me regular tail foot placement, where most people (including Vinnie) put their feet (which is having the ball of your foot and all the toes on the tail) and he stepped/popped the board and it flew up to a 40° - 70° angle. Then he explained to get higher pop you place the very edge of the tail between your big toe and other toes (so the ball of your foot and big toe is on the board and the other toes are hanging off the edge of the tail) and he showed me by stepping/popping the board with that foot placement and the board flew up to a straight 90° and flipped over landing on the grip tape. By that simple foot placement change he was able to show how much more pop you can get. With higher pop it means it’ll allow the board to pop up more vertically, allowing your front foot slide to catch the board better causing cleaner and higher Ollies (by cleaner I mean the board will look like it’s stuck to your feet the entire time rather than having the board come off your feet if you’re jumping higher than you can pop the board) Also, he said you can adjust the placement of your front foot, by bringing it closer to your back foot it’ll add to your Ollie height. I added this foot placement to so many tricks and it highly increased the height of all my tricks.
@@Adg251 no problem man, just passing down the knowledge I gained as a teenager skating. Let me know how it works out for you, would be stoked to hear it helped your Ollie/pop height! 😜🤟🏽
I've been doing this for so long and getting high ass pops. But seeing literally everyone else popping with all their toes in the tail made me feel like I was doing something wrong so I've been trying to "fix" my ollies by keeping all my toes in the tail. I can't get them high anymore but I just assummed I just needed to get used to this new foot placement. I feel like I've been doing ollies wrong. Not only that but I ollied with my front foot wierd as well. Everyone else seems to have their front foot perpendicular to the board and have almost their whole foot on in, if not even some skaters have their toes hanging off the edge a little bit. I've always had my front foot in the middle of the board so half my foot was always hanging off, but lately I've been trying to "fix" both my front and back foot and idk if it's the right choice at this point
Braille Skateboarding I use to draw a line a little before the end of my skateboard nose. So I would have a visual of when to stop my foot drag. To keep from going off and getting popcicled.
Vinnie is one of those dudes that you would feel comfortable having him watch your dog if you had to run to a port-o-potty and take an emergency dump. He seems like a trustworthy guy
This video actually really helped me one of the things that help me was pausing the video to look at his foot position and I will put my feet like that and then do everything that you told me to do and it would work I start doing better and later on I started ollieing off stairs sets
I would also like to add that if you strengthen your lower abs by hanging and raising your knees to your chest(a few reps x sets a day) it will help make use of the higher pop because you'll have an easier time tucking your knees. After that it's timing the slide and extending the front leg(ninja kick) at the peak of your ollie.
I had really sketchy Ollie’s and I went inside looked up this video I went outside to try this and I popped significantly better than I used to so thumbs up 👍🏿
Late post this, but I’ve been analysing slowmo Ollie videos online and of myself to try to get my Ollie higher. The aha moment for me was the realisation that the front foot slide is mostly a rotational force and is limited by the flight angle produced by the pop. The height the front of your board reaches at the pop is roughly the max height of your Ollie because the foot drag is rotating the back of the board up to that point and can’t go higher. I don’t think this means you need to stamp like King Kong to achieve this, it just means that the more flick and ping your tail pop has the more likely the board will stand up vertically to allow your front foot slide to level out at a much higher point. I have been working on making the transfer of energy to the pop more efficient (foot placement, ankle flick etc.) and this is improving my Ollie height. The other aspect to making the pop more efficient is making sure there is no weight on it at the time. I’m having a harder time with this aspect and working on it. The pop needs to be initiated a fraction of a second before leaving the board in the jump so that the pop is not being dampened.
i just did my first ollie learn session in my yard. Out of like.. 30-50'ish tries, only 5 times I landed with 2 feed on the board. The "pop" seemes to have gotten a bit better but most of the time i just cant get my foot to slide up enough, the board just lands a few feet in front of me. (also used new skateshoes for the first time. The rubbery sole is so grippy to the board i dont really get it to slide. And it seems the shoes will be ruined after a few more hours. "they last 2 weeks - 1 month" yeah doesnt look like it.
I don’t know if you still need help but the thing that helped me the most was getting speed. I was able to easily do it with my wheels in a crack but if I rolled slowly it was hard. Try to send it and go with speed, wear a helmet if you need more confidence
Well it's more so that he's using the force from his jump to pop the board as hard as he can so he can jump with the board which in reality isn't him jumping before the pop it's him jumping for the pop.
I noticed my flips were pretty low. Just concentrate on bringing up your back foot a bit more and catching the flip rather than letting it hit the ground and you landing on it.
Have.a lookout that can stop cars hen you're coming. Seems kind of impossible in NY though, just do it when there's least traffic. At night on a weekday or very early in the morning.
They did a video on the topic just a few days ago "how to skateboard" or something similar. The short version is that you should skate whatever feels comfortable. If your feet size is small skating a smaller board is perfectly fine. As you grow you will brobably feel more comfortable with a bigger board though.
Any tips for boards with a smaller tail? I have a plan B board and the tail is ridocously small for me, I see everyone else having their whole back foot in the pocket of the tail, I can't do that even for my life. I always pop with almost half my foot hanging out the edge, I still get ollies pretty decently, I can still ollie over a board. However should I work on having my back foot completely in the pocket?
The Villain I had the same problem it’s a natural instinct commitment issue. As soon as you put that back foot only finally you’ll no longer have that issue
No much you can do about that unless you get lighter trucks (assuming it’s actually the trucks that are heavy and bit the board). My current setup is really heavy as well. Just have to get use to it with time!
My problem is that while I can ollie about mid thigh level standing still, when I try to ollie while moving I can't get more than 6-10 inches. Any ideas why this might be happening?
He left out the part where you have to also be a beast. He freakin ollied up the five stair...
@Natan De Clercq if the grass is low then yes so the board can pop

Much love fam! Hyped I can help to get higher ollies
Vinh Banh thanks for tutorial I struggle with my ollies
Vinh Banh so sick!!
Vinnie you sound so much more confident in front of the camera now, it´s really nice to see the improvement.
Vinnie is one of those dudes that you would feel comfortable having him watch your dog if you had to run to a port-o-potty and take an emergency dump. He seems like a trustworthy guy
ikr, is it just me or did anyone else think this was the best Ollie tutorial on the braille channel
I want Vinnie explain more tricks, i understand him kinda better.
*Angry Aaron Kyro noise intensifies*
As soon as I saw Vinnie I knew I had a great teacher for this vid
Very helpful video!
Tnx my ollie is now over 50 cm i ollied over 3 boards sideways, i was ollieing like 1 but so jard now is much easier keep it up guys you are amazing
Way to go Vinnie. Awesome athletic Ollie, you should be really proud of your skating. Thanks for the range of tips you offered here.
That helped me alot , thank you Braille !!!
You guys are the reason I got back into skateboarding
Great tutorial and crazy height! Easy to forget about working on the Ollie once you start trying other tricks. Great reminder!

This is rad i love all the vids and i am also a skatebaorder and love these kinds of vids
i can ollie while standing still but when i try it while rolling i can never manage to slide my front foot. does anyone have any tips? thanks!
I don’t know if you still need help but the thing that helped me the most was getting speed. I was able to easily do it with my wheels in a crack but if I rolled slowly it was hard. Try to send it and go with speed, wear a helmet if you need more confidence
practice getting comfy with just popping the board while rolling on cement, that’s what helped me 😼
late reply probably you know how to ollie now... You should jump forward not statically
Vinnie is awesome
Notice he starts his jump before his pop. You'll see ;)
Mod Grip your right
Well it's more so that he's using the force from his jump to pop the board as hard as he can so he can jump with the board which in reality isn't him jumping before the pop it's him jumping for the pop.
Thank you so much 😊 I have been getting higher and better ollies recently and your tip have been really helping!
Thats the best higher olli tutorial I ever seen
Can you do a video on how to kickflip higher and to not do it rocket

Flick THROUGH the nose, don't flick downwards

Very helpfull!
giger should take some notes on this teaching method
can I get some advice please? whenever I try to Ollie I more often than not tend to turn it into a backside 90°? any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Everytime i go to olie higher my front foot ends up way to far on the front of the board. Any recommendations?
Its supposed to land on bolts
you're not bending your front ankle enough, you are actually just moving it up the board you have to DRAG it.
Hardb0ss 😂😂😂
When I ollie I can't get my back foot to stick onto my board
Very helpful : )
good trick

No much you can do about that unless you get lighter trucks (assuming it’s actually the trucks that are heavy and bit the board). My current setup is really heavy as well. Just have to get use to it with time!
pls do a video on how to stand on your skateboard without it rolling away
