How to Ollie with Ricky Glaser

What this video teaches

A short, visual tutorial distilling the ollie to three simultaneous actions (push down, jump, slide), with concise fixes for the most common beginner errors.

Key tips

• 1Snap the tail with your calves and toes, not the base of your foot
• 2Keep the front foot below the bolts so you can slide up to the nose
• 3Push down, jump, and slide the front foot all at the same time
• 4Squat before the pop to load power
• 5Push down harder if the board will not leave the ground
• 6Keep your shoulders square and parallel to the board
• 7Film yourself to fix your timing
• 8Practice the snap-and-jump off the board first
