He kids if you're struggling learning how to Ollie, I learned it by popping the board and jumping forward. If you do that your foot will automatically go up on your board. I hope this is helpful for you guys.
@@bradybowman8835 if youre already moving and have momentum then you wont need to worry about exactly how far forwards, just jump in the forward direction and it will help
Exactly what makes the huge difference. I envision making a small circle/oval motion. Shifting the wait to the tail while crouching -> Extend & jump forward
Thanks for the hype everyone! ☺️ I did not quite manage the kickflip but I did land one half kickflip. I have still to find the sweet spot in the strength of the flick to have it rotate properly but only halfway, because my board would just kinda flop on the side with 0 pop. I managed quite a few of the ollies pushing down on the nose though 🛹 Did not get around to trying the shuvit tip, but I told it to a girl at the session and she managed to land her first shuvit that night! So I get overall George’s tips do help ☺️
When he said "makes the trick click easily" That's actually true, in my experience everytime i try a new trick there's a sensation that feels like a "click" or a pop in your brain that immediately tells you how to do the trick
@@apesounds3408 yo today I started to try to ollie and I was getting both wheels off the ground after all day, what I did to start to learn was jump pretty high and about a quarter second after I jumped I popped it really hard. Then I slid my foot forward. It only got like 3 inches off the ground but after about a half hour I was landing them consecutively
I did a kickflip years ago but i did it by accident i dont even know how I did it and i did it off a set of stairs on my outside porch and ive never been able to figure out how to do it since then .
@@justinreillyhyers85 i've been through that to, and is so weird to land something as a mistake, and ever after you learn it you don't actually understand how did you do that
I appreciate that he wears a helmet. It’s a good influence for those who want to skate. I know people think it’s dorky sometimes to wear all these protective things but in the long run I would rather have a head of construction not concussion.
Being an older skater, the helmet gives me the confidence to do more tricks with out any worrying. I can commit to more tricks = it makes me a better skater.
Thanks George- I have come back to skating after 30 years- I am 46, an RN and an Officer in the Australian Army and watching your vids not only keeps me stoked on skating but has helped me progress...you are a good egg! Keep the vids coming mate!
George the timing of your vids yo. You always release them as I’m out in the middle of a sesh. I watch these vids and gimme energy.SHOUTOUT GEORGE!!🥰💯‼️
This video needs more credit. These are actually really good tips. Instead of keep stating what you have to do, he actually gave tips to make it easier to land. I hate when shuvits don't land under me. Im also scared to land a kickflip with both feet. Thanks for the tips!
For everyone asking: Im really close (can get it to shov, and my front foot on but not my back) but i've been slacking on that and working on slappys mostly
@@dilandduck7538 if you struggling with getting it underneath of you or trying to commit, it seems for me that if I stand with my back straight and completely over the board it will make it easier to commit or get it in front of you
This is one of the channels that inspired me to pick up skateboarding again at age 27 (and document it so i can look back at my progress), I never managed an Ollie on the move as a kid but today managed to not only Ollie on the move, but also higher than I could do stationary thanks to this "hack". Great teaching!
Ollie is really hard man! I can’t seem to jump my board. Every time I do so it’s just a few inch for like a second. Doing tricks is never easy especially for a newbie. But it won’t stop me from learning and trying despite being scared.
I just landed my first ollie the day before this video and I wanted to learn these tricks but no vids helped. So thx for the video and it's perfect timing. Any tips for a beginner skateboarder drop them down below pls ty.
Mate! I'm a 38 years old-timer and getting back into skating now that my kids are keen too. Thanks so much for the amazing and engaging posts: I've learned more in 2 weeks of iso down in the basement than ever have done before! Keep the great material coming 👍
I’ve watched your channel here and there but not all that much. That changes today because I landed my first kick flip today because of this. You’re a legend!
Wow I’ve been struggling to get my back wheels off the ground in ollies and the seesaw method really made sense in my head!! I will definitely try it out
I wouldn’t recommend going straight into kickflips, learn the other basic tricks like fs and bs 180, shuvit and front shuvit, and then you can go into it, trust me it will help so much on the long run
DUDE I’ve had the exact same thing with my kickflips. I’ve had the flick down for three months and could land with one foot. I’m gonna try to catch it on the bottom now thank you so much!
This was back in April, I watched this vid because I was really struggling with ollies and I wasn’t progressing. I saw this vid and watched the whole thing. Your tips on ollies helped me so much. As soon as I watched the video I went outside and applied your tip to the Ollie. I got so much air it was the best feeling. Unfortunately I have stopped skating for many months. I should have kept on going because that was a huge milestone for me. I’m going to have to rewatch this video. Thank you so much!
“That is because of some very simple rules of physics I don’t know what they’re called maybe like anersia or something friction? Idk” 😂😂🤣this was so funny to me idek why
2:38 It's Newton's third law of motion, the principle of action-reaction : For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It's how rockets work btw. Grasping physics that is involved in skateboarding really helped me making tricks more intuitive
I'm glad you mentioned the seesaw method. I didn't know what to call it but when I learned that little trick my ollies got higher! Another little trick that helped me was making sure that my back foot is just as high as my front flip when I jump. This help the board get even higher when you level out and prevents you from stunting the height of your ollie. I have my shove it and ollies down next step is the kickflip. Thank you for this vid!
When I learn the shuv it I was scared about put my to feet on the board. So i take the weels and true trucks off and I try to shuv with the deck only and I catch it in only few tries
Lets just take a moment to thank george for not making a video just to get that 10 minute adrevenue he could have easily made this 10:02 like every other youtuber
Damn, never heard that kickflip tip before. But that might just be what i need to do. I got the flip down but i have the same problem as you had with landing on one foot. Been stuck on that for so long now. I will def try this method, thx!
Not while still, but while rolling you want to jump forward, it’ll help get your back wheels a lot higher. I would recommend learning ollies while rolling
I think it helps me when I look at a certain spot on my board for tricks. So if I keep missing with both feet then I'll look the opposite direction of where I miss and it helps my brain tell my body to jump the right direction instead.
no way! ive watched since 3k and then my old channel got deleted and i lost all my subscriptions. i saw your tiktok on my for you page and checked out your channel. crazy to see you’re 1/5 of the way to a million
When I try to kickflip I can do it with putting one foot at the ground but when I try to land of with two feet I can't rotate the board properly, why is this?
Fuckkkk same fucking same except the last part I can rotate 100% it’s the landing on both feet, but it’s cuz I’m not committing and scared since I sprained my back foot twice doing a kickflip......
Dude thaaaaanks. Honestly you are the best for figuering these out and presenting them. This is exactly what i needed. I can ollie kinda well right now but I actually ended up learning how to ollie exactly the way you told it and it helped me alot. Im forsure sending this to a couple of friends that need these tips!!!
Landed my first shove it 1 hour after watching this. The one tip where I look at the spot where I want my board to go was very helpful and it helped me to commit to the landing. Thank you George!
On this day (June 21, 7:00 pm) I landed my first kickflip! Thank you so much for helping me with all my tricks, encouraging me to skate, and for making skateboarding fun! 🖤🖤🖤
Great video George!!! Just wanna add for me, personally I've been skating for about a year now and what helped me with getting that 'click' with the ollie was my posture on the board. Ive always thought I had the pop down and the whole dragging your front foot but could never actually get the board leveled. Once I started adjusting my posture to be directly over the board (possibly even leaning slightly over) it instantly clicked and the rhythm has stuck ever since :D. Just thought I'd leave this here for anyone struggling as well!
I’ve been skating for just over a year. I’ve been able to do ollies but shuvits and kickflips always felt just out of my grasp. After watching this I landed my first shuvit ever. I hope to do kickflips in the future but I just wanted to say a huge thank you for getting me over this huge hurdle
Loving your content George. Got my first board a couple weeks ago and have been loving every second I've gotten to use it. You are a huge reason why I decided to even give it a shot! Thank you for inspiring me and giving us newbies some tips. Gotta try them out now!
Just like you explained at the kickflip section, I found it hard to land on the board with both feet in shove-it. It took my months of practise, stopping practising shove-its and getting back at them, but now I have learnt it :) Fakie is easier for me as well, and I have to improve the form, but I am extremely happy about shove-its! I will apply your tip in the 'forward' shove-it, thanks a lot George! :)

Lmao when I showed my dad my first ollie, all he said was "so you just jumped?"
Give him the board and tell him to try 'jumping'.
BigFatCock yes
😂😂😂
Are ya winning son?
Well you did technically jump (just with a difficulty of 14/10)
If I’m 37 and get my Ollie, can I still show my parents? Hahahaha. Great tips man!
Same question if you're 44? Asking for a friend.

That's actually true, in my experience everytime i try a new trick there's a sensation that feels like a "click" or a pop in your brain that immediately tells you how to do the trick
I started last month and just got the "click" feeling a week ago with my Ollie. I'm having so much fun just jumping around.
dude. when everything goes just right you really get that sensation. like your whole self is so relieved.
I’ve been trying to Ollie for like 2 yrs+ now and I FINALLY DID IT

You can also wrap the wheels with socks so that they don’t move and then you have a better feel for the board
Hey George, can u please make a vid on how to flip your board better on the kickflip pls? I love ur vids.
