What this video teaches
A technique-focused tutorial from a 20-year skate instructor covering jump mechanics, traced foot placement, and using a fence for fear-free practice before rolling.
Key tips
- Get comfortable pushing, carving and kick turns before attempting ollies
- Front foot just behind the front bolts; back foot centered on the tail
- Trace your feet on the board to learn the placement
- Practice at a low fence or rail to kill the fear of falling
- Pop hard off the back foot through your ankle and toes so the tail clicks
- Slide your front foot up to the concave to level the board
- Suck your knees up toward your chest at the peak
- The faster you roll, the more you lean forward and the harder you pop
