I'm learning to Ollie, but failed ... any tips?

try to squat as low as possible
tap hard
works for me tho

hmm .. somehow I don't dare to tap hard.
please recommend some tricks for beginners to learn?

You must tap hard on the tail and at the same time don't oversliding your front foot..i think from there u can improve ur ollie..

U can learn 180 ollie,kickflip and heelflip first..then proceed to more difficult trick..

not really hancur coz i put 'glue' as ollie pad..u know the glue i'm talking bout rite? but, i've change the lace..

Aiyak ejat,same time post la...

Glue?u use glue gun ar?

If eS of coursela PJ Ladd signature.. last year dh penah usha..

Last time if my shoes tear off really bad, i just used elephant gum ( gam gajah )but not as strong as glue gun..

my second trick after ollie is shuv it..easy to learn, but u need confident to land it for the first time..

I think the more our shoes get ugly,the more beautiful it is ( at least for my eyes laaa... )

wa... Kaiser's post is higher than mine already...

I'm very good in ollie when I was skating. Although it looked
basic & simple, ollie will take years to refine & improve on...
I see lotsa skaters who cant ollie well after years of skating.

The difficult part is the lift off of your back foot immediately
after tapping... everyone can tap, but not a lot of people
can tap hard & lift off from the tap in a split second... the
faster u lift up after the tap, the higher u can go... keyword
here is 'spontaneous reaction' after the tap. There are other
parts of the ollie which is important like the pull, the flatten
out, the hanging time, the landing, etc... but I leave that
for you to discover on this video below... have fun

just watch sk8 videos
then slow-mo it..
there u can see how the trick is done

Dude, you sound so pro..very well explanation..the technique is important to go for high ollie..

body also must lift as high as u can to perform higher and more hang time..

I can ollie well but i'm not good on detail explanation,so let others explained it.. but for me the real keywords is practice and practice.Nowadays a lot of video make by pros teach how to ollie well..watch it and learn the proper technique should make the the tricks more easier to execute..

I can ollie or do other tricks only one way,and i can't do switch tricks.Switch tricks for me is really hard..

the most important thing of ollie is pop and slide...
ur back foot need to pop , while ur front foot just slide as hard as u can...
the more u slide, the higher ur ollie can be...
as a precautions, try it on flat surface first..

The first time doing ollie is not easy,so must make sure with proper practice can make the ollie more higher..

I see, thanks for all the Ollie tips!

How do I buy the bolts and nuts?

They are getting rusty and I want to add on risers too.

I can't add on the risers to my current board,
because the bolts are too short.
