How to do an Ollie with Pro Skateboarder Mike V. 

it's so satisfying to see how clean his griptape is

OMG GUYS I DID IT TODAYYY! WORDS CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW HAPPY AND EXCITED I ACTUALLY AM :)

This is actually a very helpful tutorial. Nobody else actually explained on how it all actually worked. Thank you!

I used to watch these Mike V videos on Comcast back then,I never thought I’d be skating the way I am now,Thx Mike V

That was so freaking smooth.

okay I am gonna get a fresh set of trucks and assemble my skateboard and gt back at this. Now. I'm 33 and I have not done this since my late teens. So wish me luck!

I vividly remember watching this when I was like 11 or something just for fun didn’t even own a board at the time, had to come back to refresh my memory

I bought my first skateboard yesterday :)

I remember watching this on infinity on demand haha! Times have passed

This tutorial has some key points that Mike actually tells you while other tutorials and explanations don't. The momentum move helps out a lot actually. Great video!!

The vid is great but when I try to Ollie I have trouble with the snapping.

Thanks for this video,gave me confidence to do an ollie :)

This is the best way I ever heard it explained. I'm so glad I came across this.

Best description of what the front foot "slide" actually is and how it works, thank you

Mike, is an awesome role model for explaining how to do this trick,and Mr, Tony hawk'and are friend Natas and Gonz as well!Derek or Frogger

I learned these by skating up to something and wanting to get on top of it..over and over

You are amazing. All Ollie tutorials are just like "pop then slide" and I just couldn't get it. You said the same thing but I have never heard anyone mention the bending the knees thing or the using your toe to pop. Before I watched this video I couldn't get off the ground at all, and I was in a crack. But after using those tips I can now get about one inch off the ground not in a crack. That may not seem like much but I literally just got my skateboard and going from nothing in a crack to an inch off the ground not in a crack within the time of watching this video,is awesome.

very helpful and i been ollieing for years thanks big mike V, pease dont beat me up

You explain so well. I´m happy I found your channel :D

I think this is the best and clear video ever

Mike thank you so much after 3 days of skating i learned how to ollie now to the kickflip

This is the only video that helped me on how to pop a better, and higher ollie.

Wow, this is great... If only I had known this 15 years ago!

Holy cow that was solid

yo I remember watching this on demand back in highschool. You guys should upload the part where the kids are interviewing him, that was wholesome stuff!

This guy's ollie is nice.

i´ve learned to hold my balance, but i only jump like 2 inches, and he dose it half a meter! HOW!

I remember watching this on demand YEARS ago

another tip is as you pop your board and drag your foot bring your knees to your chest as you shift your weight then let your legs down as fast as you can while your going down

You are the only one in youtube said toe on tail,thnx dude it works much better than flat foot :D

Ive seen so many vids trying to learn there all the same but when u pop the tail is it just .....like stomping down without lifting ur foot?

Who else got the skater trainer ad ?

Wow! Thanks! This helped me a lot! I did my first REAL Ollie at around 2:00! Ty so much!

this is gonna really help. thanks

thank you for teaching me!!

If you have problems with popping the tail off the ground just know these 3 things: the tail, ground, & your back foot should never touch only the tail & ground touches. My problem is flicking, I've got the jump & pop down.

Mike V's the best!

It seems so simple yet so hard

This tuto is the best way to learn it

leaning forward with the shoulders towards the direction ollying, makes the ollie straight, no spinning.

He makes it looks easy

THANKYOU SO MUCH you really helped

I really like this video its great! yay!

Whenever I try, my tail doesn't go off the ground.help!

Thanks this helps me but how do you get the board high like that

Grandma's Back: Exists Mike V: C R A C K L O C A T E D

i didnt fall when trying to do an ollie but did fall when i was pushing... after i was good at pushing

I learned this in ten minutes no lie

Cleanest ollie ever

I love skateboarding

Thx this helped. Me a lot 😎😎

Thank u man I can now official ollie

thank you

Great explanation! :-)

Thank you so much!

This is the best way to learn an ollie

I'm finding it hard to snap my board

this video taught me to do an ollie 3 years ago

Can u plz plz plz tell me what is the material of your board and do it has any plastic coating in it to make it smooth, plz reply.

Does it matter if you have longboarding wheels?

i do i do the ollie woahhhh thx mike V.

thanks it really helped

Thxs alott I got it on my first try u should keep making videos

i practice skateboarding in my backroom most of the time on hardwood floor is that ok or will it effect how i skateboard

thanks for the video i try it and it works

I've been trying to do this for months and I still can't Ollie

This tutorial is great and helpful. I tried to do an ollie, but either my nose part went flying up and my tail was at the ground, or i just ollied about 1cm above and then my back wheels slammed the ground... Can someone pls give me a guide?

I just got my board so that really helped

I think there was a brief period where Mike had the highest ollies in the world. He's the first person to 180 ollie a picnic table (1989).

Help! Every time I try to ollie on concrete stopped or moving my front foot always lands so close to my back foot that I do some sort of manual fall and fall on to my back. I've tried in grass but I'm having trouble sliding my front foot forward. It feels like if I do I will land and break my ankle. Any help would be great! Thank You!!

The body shift!

cool i also wanna learn it

Thanks!

I've got the carpeting down but when I'm on the side walk or street I just can't get my foot to slide like it forces me not to and a just keep my foot strait and slide up and is it normal for your feet to hurt when you kept doing it cuz they hurt a lot when I stopped moving the board.

Omg, thank you so much

Why cant I get my tail off the ground? Please answer

So when you ollie, your front foot is NOT on the ball, the front foot is resting flat?

It's so hard 😪✌️

Got my board today X)

Why no one is talking about the fact that u can't see the views?

I just got my skateboard!!! ;)

When it comes to skate shoes will it make it easier to do an Ollie or will it not make a difference

Cheers mike

Is the front leg going in frot automacly?

I can't get the tail off the ground when I pop the board.

One helpful tip: Start your jump first and snap the tail just as you're about to leave the ground

So how is your board sticking to your foot because when I snap it doesn’t lift me in the air

Whats the song at the beginning?

Thanks dude so helpful 😏

Got mine 3 hours ago and I can do an Ollie!

I luv dis

That's cool

I bought mine today im so happy, it's a plan b

Without a crack i struggle big time. It shoots right back under my feet 5 feet away from me. What's the key to it?

Grass will jack up you barings so I would recommend skater trainers if your starting ollies

Where do you get trainers from

Don't do it on carpet... my lounge carpet now looks like the moons surface :S

Me and my friend tried this and the board flew out from underneath us and we both fell really hard on the concrete xD and we just sat there and laughed

When I land rolling my front foot goes on the nose and I get wheel bite how can I fix that?

Whats the name of the guitar solo at the beginning?
