The only thing they helped me with is cringe harder. All his Ollies are amateur level. The only difference in *these* ollies between amateur and pro is precision and speed. Which is especially important for city rides. amateur will take it's time skating trough city, pro will push with ease.
I went to a skate park for the first time today and there was a guy trying to do a board slide and when he saw me falling over and over again trying to drop in he came over and helped me. He gave me tips, he held my arm while I went, and he showed me some bail strategies. This made me want to keep going and by the end when I went to leave, I went down a drop as high as 6 feet! Thank you to the guy who helped me.❤
anytime brother , would do it anytime out of love for skateboarding ! ( not that I was the guy in your story but thats what it is all about , sharing a passion for something
I don’t agree with grouping beginners with posers they are two completely different things, one is actually trying to embrace and get better in skating/skate culture while the other is tryna be something they ain’t
not even trying to be something they're not, just dragging around a skateboard for cool points. being a skater is a piece of your identity. imagine being a bodybuilder vs some dude with a fake muscle suit on lol. cultural appropriation 😂 & idk if everyone knows it or not but we all as Americans kinda understand what happens when counter-cultures get commercialized is bad. public gains vague interest in thing, big companies or even cornerstones of the culture end up pandering to people who aren't truly a part of the culture just following the money, culture gets diluted until it's hardly recognizable until the public loses interest & the original thing is left fucked up, sometimes never recovering. so disdain for "posers" is 1000% appropriate.
its alarming that the last few gens of skaters that dont know that. they think of traditions and get them all twisted. they are so afraid of insulting or confrontation. they lack social skills
there’s a difference between posers and beginners. Some people are just beginners learning how to skate. Posers are people that just skate to get attention and don’t really care about skating.
yea the whole “having your feet super close in” as opposed to sheer technique for higher ollies is complete BS. I’d say that level of thinking is more poser than anything. dudes a complete clown
True idc if I'm around scooters, bikers, or skaters at any level I maintain mutual respect and safety, happy that we get to enjoy a nice day outside. You're not a "poser" if you enjoy what you do unless you're on the sidelines hating.
Bro this isn't how skateboarding culture works. This dude is an outlier. I promise, me & all of my skateboarding friends would ALWAYS clap, encourage beginners, & give them pointers if they asked. Skateboarding is difficult & we ALL started somewhere. This dude is a prick & needs to stop spending all his time pointing & laughing at people.
@@atomdecayliterally bro!!! like he made a video talking about how to not look stupid and one of the steps was not sitting on the edge (drop in part) of the bowls but at my skatepark the guys encouraging us always sit there? i feel like he’s super egotistical. “i’ve been doing this for years!! i’m not a poser!”
Funny thing is, I skate super confidently and I'm comfortable on a board like it's an extension of my body, I push with grace and power yet I can't even land a shove
You likely don’t look as good or comfortable as you think you do. In fact, the person who made this video doesn’t have an advanced Ollie, which has a boned out extension midway through the Ollie with the back foot and board raising above the front. 😅
@@matthewbehringer4230u mean boned ollie? its different with regular ollie. Normally boned ollie used for such a high obstacle, not for regular use, because its not good for knee & ankle 😅
@@chrhaddenI personally haven’t gone to a park yet cause I’ve barely gotten comfortable with landing/tic tacs. Ollies seem like a world away rn but it’s only been like a week so far. Feel like I’ll only be a nuisance at a park rn, n shit like this vid comparing beginners w posers doesn’t help
Well, sorry to say, my friend, but you are a pre-poser. Once you learn to ollie, your ollie will be pretty close to the ground, which will make you a poser. Once you start getting a more confident ollie, you'll be an intermediate skater, or as we like to call them, an advanced poser. Worry not, once you can confidently hit a 900 without a ramp (ramps are for posers) you will officially move out of the poser phase.
@@spman2099not being good at ollieing is not being a poser, a poser is someone who pretends they know how to skate or are good at skating but in reality are meh at skating or don’t skate at all.
just do about 10 per session. those muscles will build up for you in about a month. there are skater excercise videos on yt if you want to get really good fast
We all started not knowing how to ollie… humble beginnings, remember where u come from. Don’t criticize the next man, help him advance. At one point someone was calling u a poser.

don’t you just love how literally nobody can start learning how to skate without getting called a poser. like i’m sorry i can’t do tre flips and 360 pop shuv its on my first week skating
I hate when people put losers and beginners in the same camp skating is all about trying and never giving up beginners know it all too well especially compared to posers
Funny enough, once the skater is beyond advanced or a “pro”, you see their front foot inching back towards the top of the deck. Pro skaters can ollie super high with such efficient movement and minimal foot drag. Only if they’re trying to ollie up/over something truly huge do you see them put their foot that far back. It’s amazing to see what decades of practise and technique can do!
I'm a beginner skater and I do my Ollie's Like the first one, it doesn't mean I'm a poser. It just means I don't know how to do them properly and I'm still learning
You can’t tell how good everyone is by their Ollie alone. Most people today have learned to focus on perfecting what style they’re best at& ignore everything outside of that . Probably because of pressure to meet a certain standard of success to post for social media. Not a lot of well rounded skaters today . So you’re either 1)really good at street where your ollie actually does says a lot about your skill . 2)Good at transition/vert where your Ollie doesn’t say much because speed and gravitational changes make your board more responsive to less exaggerated popping 3)very good at hippy skating where you may bust out no complys ,weird boneless & slappy tricks all over the place & never learn to Ollie at all.
I remember when we had a new person trying to start skating and we didn’t call them posers and just helped them out instead . This new gen of skaters suck 😩
Dude, I don't agree with what you said between intermediate and advanced. I would say that intermediate have their front foot closer to the tail. Advanced can Ollie high with their feet spread apart bc they don't need to slide their foot to bring the board up. They just lift their front foot and let the board come to it.
Im still learning how to ride my longboard, My town isn’t the best for learning because of all the rocks and cracks so it’s hard to find a place I can, most of the places I can longboard on are fairly busy streets which is very dangerous, but I’m learning with my 2 friends now :) I can ride it pretty well so now I’m learning to keep moving and working more on changing the direction
Quick question... If the primary criticism of a poser is that they only pretend to skate, how does them performing a trick, even poorly, identify them as a poser? That math isn't adding up, bro.
Can't do anything without getting called poser

Also me : *Ollies to space*

BRUH YOUR DOING THE MALL HOLD
You can’t tell how good everyone is by their Ollie alone. Most people today have learned to focus on perfecting what style they’re best at& ignore everything outside of that . Probably because of pressure to meet a certain standard of success to post for social media. Not a lot of well rounded skaters today . So you’re either
1)really good at street where your ollie actually does says a lot about your skill .
2)Good at transition/vert where your Ollie doesn’t say much because speed and gravitational changes make your board more responsive to less exaggerated popping
3)very good at hippy skating where you may bust out no complys ,weird boneless & slappy tricks all over the place & never learn to Ollie at all.

Can we stop the mall grabbing is bad stigma. Idiots are the ones that think there is a problem with it.
I judge people by their push. It’s not 100% accurate but you get a good idea of how good they are most the time
