How Do You Get Your Ollies High

[tjflame]

Well, i can ollie, but not that high, and i need it to be high enough for the rail at my park. I practice everyday, but im not really getting them higher, any suggestions?

i recommend. excercise ur calves. u need to jump higher. cause u can proberally ollie 75% of ur max jump height. but as u get better u learn how to use 95-105%

the only way to REALLY get your ollies higher is practice. theres not really any trick or tip. its just skill.

so keep practicing.. it takes years to get a truly good ollie.

It takes alot of practice and patience. The more you try, the higher they should get.

i agree with everyone else, but to get higher ollies by practicing, you need to practice them correctly. the way i get my ollies so high is i judge how fast im going and then place my front foot accordingly. for example, if im going faster, then you want a wider stance, so i place my front foot a little further foward than normal. but if im going hella slow and i want a high ollie, then i place my front foot a little further towards the back.

this gives me more space for my front foot to slide up the board thus giving me my board further travel upward so i can eventually even out the board while at the peak of my ollie.

sorry if that was very confusing...

just the way i think when i ollie,

practice it and try to ollie over things, and gradually get bigger things to clear.

peace

theres nothing more than that.

when you jump drag the side of your front foot forward. work on that a lot and pushing the nose of your board forward while sucking your back foot up. If the board isn't staying with your back foot your front foots drag is not adequate.

just keep on practicing ollieng over things. set a deck on it's wheels. then on it's side and keep on upping the anti. when you get to a height that you can only ollie once in a while keep on doing it until you can every single time. then move it up and up and up.
