Watching at half speed and Mitchie sounds absolutely blasted. One thing I noticed is that during the Ollie, your hips don't move away from the ramp, so you're not pushing off of the wall per se, but lifting your knees to you as your upper body continues with a natural motion of pumping would be.
Thank you mitchie! Seriously these videos have progressed my skating instantaneously! Things I couldn't figure out alone have clicked! I hope I can make the skatiq lessons in Tucson.
Youre videos are awesome and the way you explain things is amazing and easy to understand! I live in holland and work in a indoor skatepark, so im skating 3/4 times a week and practicing!
Thank you! I love that it translates so well. That’s perfect, 3/4 days a week…. And these things are easy enough to practice that you can do it whenever you skate and you’re still gonna progress from it
Thanks for the tips! Never thought to do these basics (fakie and nollie). I was having so much fun just doing ollies all session. It's a totally different perspective.
@@SKATEiQ oh sweet, I did not know that! How did you get into skating mega ramp then at relatively early age as I thought all of those are down in California (at least at that time)?
@@vancouverbill yeah I went to California when I was a teenager and bob let me skate his. It all happened so fast ! But before then, I grew up in Kirkland Washington sort of by Seattle
i would say that vert lends itself to floatier ollies for less effort. but overall takes more control and is more dangerous. if you struggle with ollie fakies on small stuff i would focus on speed control, and if you struggle on vert i would focus more on rhythm
you mean like up in the actual vert? yes you get massive pop relative to the ramp as soon as you start messing with the actual vert on the ramp. but thts a good thing!
