Is there an exercise that you can do to...

[nephteray303]

raise the height of your jump? My ollies have now reached the height of my jump, and there is nothing I can do to get them higher. Is there a way I can improve my actual jump? Thanks.

[bmmetcalf]

Idk, jump like a frog.

[Galadar]

yea on all my highest ollies i look retarded =(

but then again you dont need to be a frog to ollie high just give a little bend

[Sk8 Till Death]

Strech?
Run?
Workout?
Gain muscle and just maybe youll jump higher.

[goofy m3ng]

yea, maybe stretch, work out ur leg muscles, do the crouching excersize(sp?) for ages and maybe get your leg muscles stronger by doing those weight thingys at tha gym or sumtin

[gmgsci]

Take Indian Poops. (Where you squat)

[AdioBird52]

Skate more.

[Greatkyle]

squats (weight on ure shoulkders squat down then up, repeat) and go to the gym and just do some bends with ure legs on the weights, also u could jog and remeber to stretch after u warm up and then u exercise

[China Skate]

Practice I have seen a fat guy ollie 4 decks.

[AdioBird52]

Working out you legs would definately do the trick as well.

[poptart191]

just bend yur knees as much as u can

[nephteray303]

Skating more is not an option... I skate for like 10-12 hours a day XD. I will try squats, thanks guys.

Run, Alot.

[funaholic]

jump a lot. if you have a trampeline, use that, it will work your leg muscles. Squats are good too, if you have access to equipment.

[bmmetcalf]

Run, Alot.
That was the first thing you have said that wasnt spam.

[Zerosk8er90]

They made these retarded looking training shoes that susposibly make you jump higher. They were on Seinfield once.

[Slammed]

PLIOMETRICS!!! Jumprope and stair workouts. Also, set up 3 different sized cardboard boxes from small to big and jump over them consecutively. It really helps. Also, stand with the ball of your foot on a curb or step and go up and down until your calves burn... My vertical improved 6 inches from doing this stuff for a month. Now i can grab rim and i'm only 5'7''.

[goofy>everyone]

^^ do those actualy exist? they look too ridiculous to be seen wearing and or actualy make you jump higher

go to the gym and use the leg press thing it works like a charm

[goofy m3ng]

use a jump rope/ skipping rope too. they are good working outerers

[just_skate_]

Stretch your calves and hamstrings. Do toe raises with weight and heel walk. The heel walk balances out the muscle strength on your calves compared to the thin layer you have on your shin. It really does help. Squat helps, but not near enough to be noticed except over a 4-6 year period. I had a website I used to follow. If I find it I will post it.

Jump over random things. Skip to the end of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM_2BBsTUCQ) video to see what I'm talking about.

[hobox01]

im in a city basketball league .............walk on your toes for a while.. and im not talking about 30 minutes to an hour......... i mean FOR A WHILE, this is suppose to build whatchamacallit muscle and help you jump higher

[hobox01]

^------------ thats what my coach told us.. so if it doesnt work dont blame me, come to cerritos and bitch at him k thanks

[bladetrack1]

hobox ure from cerritos so am I...wat grade u in...im be a freshman at cerritos

[Dr._Skate]

like shad0w said jump random things
try cavemaning over really high stuff

jumping stuff helps me skate

[WakeBake&Skate]

do leg workouts, Squats, calf raises. jump make your knees touch your chest then land and then do it again. Try to stay in the air as much as possible so as soon as u land u go right back up. Do bout 5 sets of 20 wit 30 second rest. there is alot of things u can do to jump higher, just google it or something.
