What this video teaches
A fast, no-frills breakdown distilling the ollie into four moves (boom, drag, lift, drop), stressing ankle power and the front-foot drag as the most-missed steps.
Key tips
- Pop the tail with ankle speed and power, not just your leg
- Jump straight up off your back foot as you pop
- Drag the outside edge of your front shoe up the board right after popping
- Lift your back foot up after the pop, since leaving it down kills the ollie
- Set your front foot further back to leave room for a longer drag
- Keep your shoulders square so the board does not rotate
- Land knees bent and roll away
