This is Kyle Hovercamp from Skatechurch in Portland, Oregon. On behalf of Expert Village,
this is the tutorial of how to learn how to ollie on your skateboard. In this clip, I'm
going to show you how to ollie high. The reason that you'd want to ollie high is for higher
objects that you're trying to get onto or do certain tricks onto. It also looks cooler
if you can ollie high. The main things are you just have to pop really hard, jump as
high as you can. When you level your feet out, just do it smooth enough to where your
board is staying with you and not like a ghost ollie where your feet are up here and your
board's down here. Another thing is that no matter how high ollie or you try to ollie,
your board isn't going to go higher than you can actually jump. If you can only jump this
high, your board's probably only going to go that high. You can't ollie higher than
you can actually jump. Just pop as hard as you can, jump as high as you can, and try
to keep it smooth and level your feet out. It's a lot easier for you to oliie higher
where there's an object actually in front of you that you have to clear. This right
here is barrier and it's pretty big, so you might not want to start off with this. You
can find anything like a curb. If you've never ollied up a curb just practice up that and
it'll make you want to get up it. You can find anything. Just anything that you can
find that has height. Just practice ollieing over it and get higher and higher. Raise your
level and then eventually you might be able to ollie over this. Okay, again, to get over
something with height pop as hard as you can, jump as high as you can, and just do it as
smooth as you possibly can to keep your board level with your feet and that how you get
over something. Just try to land on the bolts again so you don't crack your board.
