HOW TO MASTER YOUR OLLIES
This video goes beyond landing ollies to mastering them—adding height, distance, consistency, and the ability to ollie in any condition. Mastery is the difference between landing tricks and building tricks into lines.
Who This Video Helps
Skaters who can land ollies occasionally but feel inconsistent, people wanting to boost their ollie height, or riders preparing to learn advanced tricks that demand flawless ollie control.
What To Watch Closely
- Height progression techniques. Notice how riders add height without changing the snap-scoop motion itself—often by adjusting when they level the board.
- Consistency drills. See what specific practice builds the muscle memory that lets you land ollies 9 times out of 10, not 6 out of 10.
- Variation practice. Watch how riders practice ollies at different speeds and on different surfaces to ensure the skill transfers everywhere.
Common Mistakes
- Forcing height before consistency. A perfect waist-high ollie you land 100% of the time beats a knee-high ollie you land 30% of the time.
- Neglecting one-footed adjustments. Sometimes tweaking where the front foot sits or how hard you snap makes all the difference.
Try This Drill
Land 25 ollies in a row without missing. Reset and repeat until you hit the mark. This trains consistency better than chasing height. Once consistency is automatic, height becomes easier to add.
Dojo Note
Mastery isn’t about perfection—it’s about building unconscious competence. A master makes mistakes too, but they correct them instantly. That level of body awareness only comes from thousands of reps. The video teaches the path to that level.
What To Learn Next
With master-level ollies, you’re ready for advanced flat tricks and the jump to kickflips and heelflips.
