HOW TO OLLIE HIGHER
Want to learn how to make Ollies pop higher?
Not only do big Ollies look more attractive, but learning to Ollie higher may also open up new avenues to learn new tricks. You will be able to climb higher obstacles such as handrails or ledges with a larger Ollie.
Imagine how many new tricks will you learn by mastering the Ollie, the most important trick in skating.
Practice is important, and you can almost guarantee to improve with enough practice. But practicing your Ollie isn’t the only way that you’ll get more pop.
This blog post will show you how to raise the height of your Ollies.
How high can you go?
First, how high can Ollie go?
Use stacked skateboard decks to see how high you can Ollie.
You can start as a beginner skater by placing your Ollie one deck on its side. It is approximately 8 inches tall.
Two decks are approximately one foot tall when they are interconnected. Each deck is approximately 2 feet tall, and each deck has six skate decks that are approximately 36 inches high.
Keep track of your progress
Try a few super Ollies every week to keep track of your progress.
Jumping over obstacles is a great way to test your Ollies. Start practising your Ollies by placing some objects on the ground.
It’s impossible to improve your results if you don’t measure them.
You should track your progress. You can track your progress and see the results you want. You can also track your progress to gain confidence and keep you motivated.
Maximize Your Vertical Leap
Another great way to increase your abilities on a skateboard is through physical exercise.
Start working out. Start training to be the best version of yourself.
These are some exercises that you should be familiar with:
- Squats
- Leg curls
- Calf raises
- Deadlifts
You don’t need to train with weights if you’re interested or have limited access, it’s okay. There are many other exercises you can do that involve weight training. You could try running stairs or jumping rope. Try plyometrics.
Plyometrics, also known as. Jump training is a form of training that athletes use to increase their performance, particularly high jumpers and martial artists. This training will make you “explosive”.
You should be familiar with these exercises:
- Box jumps
- Squat jump,
- Vertical depth jump
- Alternate leg bounding
- Jump lateral
Skateboarding is all about training your legs, but core training is equally important.
Although any exercise is beneficial, it’s the core and legs that you need to focus on if your Ollie wants to be stronger.
Get new skateboards
Try to ride on a new deck as often as possible.
You can get a crisp pop from a new skateboard that will give your Ollies an extra boost. A new griptape can also help you grip your board better. Another important factor to consider is the weight of your trucks.
You don’t have to buy new skateboards if that is your problem.
You might consider creating a sponsor me video to get at least a discount on all boards you purchase. You could also make some extra money and buy lots of boards. You can always use a new deck whenever you feel the need.
Popping Massive Ollies is more about the skateboarder than it is with the skateboard.
Don’t make excuses, start making things happen.
Now what?
Conclusion
Follow the steps above to see an increase in your Ollies’ height. Skateboarding can be a slow process that leads to great success. Keep skating, be patient, and have fun!
