Are you frustrated by your ollies? Have you tried watching other skaters but still haven't quite found the secret? The great news is that no matter how weak your ollies are, there is a specific formula to higher ollies.
Using this specific formula, you can learn how to ollie higher by 3-4 inches. Here's how: First, make sure your starting foot positions are correct. You front foot should be 60% up the board and your back foot should be completely on the tail and facing the side. If you were to take a knife and cut a line down the middle of your board, you should cut your feet in half.
Now that your feet are positioned correctly, I have to address the most important reason why beginners don't ollie higher. It's all about power. You must put all of your power into the pop as you press down on the tail. A weak pop will ruin everything.
Step 2- How to Ollie Higher
Lack of control is one of the biggest reasons for small ollies. You must control the board in the air. After the pop, the outside of your front foot should drag along board to the nose so that the ball of your big toe is completely off of the board. Let me clarify because this is important, the inside of your front foot will not be touching the board.
This is done by loosening your front ankle. The problem many beginners have is they loosen the ankle too much. This is a problem. You need to loosen your front ankle enough to lift the inside of the foot but you still need to control the board.
To clarify, once more, you must meet a state of balance between too much ankle resistance and too little.
This front foot must also have the power you put into the pop. It must be equal to the power of the pop. A powerful front foot slide is perhaps the biggest indicator of a high ollie.
Step 3 - How to Ollie Higher
Many beginners have a real problem with the timing between the pop and front foot slide. This is so crucial and can not be stressed enough. The issue facing beginner s is that they try to slide their front foot forward too quickly. This can present a huge problem because it does not allow the board time enough to become elevated.
Here is the ollie simplified: You have 2 steps which control the height: the pop and the front foot slide. Both of which are responsible for controlling the height of the ollie. The pop elevates the nose and the front foot slide elevates the tail.
When you understand the importance of both the nose and tail, you will crack the code to higher ollies. More importantly, when you slide the front foot forward too quickly after the pop, you are not allowing the nose of the board to become elevated high enough.
Put delay after the pop to give yourself an extra 3 or 4 inches to your ollie. Once you have this extra height, you will be able to so much more like, 180's, kickflips, and heelflips.
