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
