OMG I needed this thank you so much, learning to ollie with a, not necessarily longboard, but a larger board. This gonna at least give me better foot placement
Drop deck? Or Drop Thru? Drop through is a bit easier to ollie since the kicktails are closer to the ground. the landing part is what can be tricky though, avoiding stepping onto the wheels can take some practice. Drop deck might be bit harder to ollie, especially since when you kick the front drop, the board tends to lunge away from you. Mirco drop will be a lot easier though!
ur right, my comment was from a month ago, in that time my attitude has completely changed and I have grown so much. Your youtube comment really makes a difference in my life, thank you :)
Thanks for taking the time to reply. If you have any recommendations on wheels or examples of what I'll need for what I'm doing like before that would be awesome! Skate Safe
im a skater and im asking myself what im doing here, along with all the other skaters who didnt come here to fight. i actually really like longboarding
They're evolving!!! No but seriously, skaters use to bash on longboards not being able to ollie, this is a step in the right direction, hopefully longboard ollies will be able to clear curbs with more clearance, the amount of space under your board every time you ollie up a curb is sketchy as hell, if i tried, my back truck would probably catch on the curb and I would face plant.
The "Loaded Fat Tail" is the one at 1:56, the other, "Loaded Tan Tien" is the one at 2:30. If you're gonna try downhill or freeriding I suggest a Landyatchz board, if you want to carve and do some freestyle, I'll tell you for a Loaded. A really polivalent board is the Apex 40 from Original Skateboards
Could you please answer me a question? Can the longboard get damaged by doing this, because the board itself looks like it's bending a lot. And also very awesome tutorial and a big plus for wearing a helmet! :)
Would this be possible on a 41 inch board that's a little on the heavier side? It looks like it would be really difficult on a board that's much longer than those are.
So I'm a novice rider, but from what I'm gathering "fat tail boards" like the 2 you had are good for tricks, and fatter lower to the ground boards are more for downhill? and what are more recommended wheels for each? any help is mucho apreciado!
Everyone has a different preference to what type of riding they like the most. Whether it be a bike, a skateboard, a longboard, or even skates. The way I see it we all have something in common, we're all doing something we love to do no matter what anyone tells us. So just because we may not ride the same type of equipment, doesn't mean one is better than the other. Respect all types of skaters, and enjoy the fact you can even ride. Quit hating on everyone else, and realize we're all bros.
Idk i have standard wheels i got from the longboard they're 75mm but i already bought red bones and i'm gonna get some lubricant today and i'm gonna clean them
To answer your question. The bearings probably aren't that good. I recommend Bones Super Reds or Abec 11 bearings. If you don't want to spend so much, get Bones Reds or Abec 8 or 9 bearings. Hope this helps.
can someone tell me if i can ollie if my board has super coarse grip tape?? is candy grip tape that is like 20 grit... i also have one with a mob super corse... which one would be better for ollies??
I understand what you have to do with the front foot, and I get what he means by pushing down with the back foot.I just don't understand what he means by pushing "back" with the back foot???? How do you push back as you're moving forward? If someone could help me understand what you're supposed to do with the back exactly foot I would really appreciate it.
beeing 45, started longboarding to trigger some desolate brain compartments, reading this skateboard vs. longboard stuff --> kids in a "who´s the biggest penis contest" --> LMOA, have fun. nice vid!!!
It is possible to ollie on any board as long as it has some sort of a tail. Pintails included. Longboards are just more difficult because of the weight and size. It really doesnt have much to do with the tail size or shape, as proven by Dane in this video.
u might want to invest in some better barrings like raw reds. wheels can help two like monster hawgs or zombie hawgs, just make sure u get the right barrings for ur wheels and that the wheels fit ur needs.
I skate street, I love bowl and I froth on bombing hills fast with a longboard. I have traveled the world over the past 6 years, skating all sorts of terrain on all sorts of boards, surfaces and with all sorts of rad skaters )some of whom have been skating since before you or I were born). If you all put more time into going outside and shredding wheels with rad people anywhere and anytime you want, you would probably be a lot less grumpy and much better skaters too. Skate everything or die.
