Solid intermediate snowboarder here. Been trying to learn to Ollie recently (and not being able to get a lot of air) and can’t wait to get back out on the snow to try this technique. My main board is a really stiff Lib, so had wondered whether that was the issue? I have a couple of other (much less stiff) boards (that I’ve progressed out of), so might be better to learn to Ollie on one of those instead?

@shillers1978 great comment, thanks for getting involved. Such a good topic as this is exactly what this video can directly address - why an ollie can feel good on one board and not another! Ideally, you can progress your skills on both boards, being knowledgable of the differences. For example, on the softer board, you may find it easier to create some spring and bounce back from the board, helping with higher ollies, especially at slower speeds. That said, with a stiffer board, if you feel like your bounce back timing and the ollie itself are pretty clean, then you can start being more intentional with where you do your tricks on the mountain, and the speed you are riding at - for example, on the stiffer Lib, you may choose natural terrain bumps, rolls or drops to help create more air time, and further to that, adding more speed to those same terrain features to get even more air time. Otherwise, if you find you are having a hard time creating any flex in the tail of the Lib at all, then yes, you will be limited somewhat by the board. Definitely enjoy getting to know the different behaviours in your boards...it will be well worth the time!

Great video man. Thanks. I’ll have to try the lift and bounce back to improve my Ollie. For me tail presses helped a lot in learning the flex of the board. I’m also working on letting my lower body do the work. I’ve found that sometimes I try really hard to load the board with my upper body and sometimes that throws me off balance. Gonna try the little bounce back move for sure. Edit: Sub number 50!

Appreciate the feedback @doyouevennaturebro4593 and hopefully this will help you keep your balance throughout the trick!

im an old skater. i ollie pretty much how i ollie a skateboard. a lot of my loading comes from lifting my leading leg while pressing the back leg loading for the jump. this timing is probably hard for someone that never ollied a skateboard

@FocusSnowboards Месяц назад

Agreed, an ollie on a snowboard is definitely harder to time well for those that haven't skated before 👍
