Skateboard DIY – How to Ollie Really High!

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Today, let me give you some tips on how to ollie really high.

1. Smoke some buds

2. Now you should be feeling really high so go ollie.

Okay, just kidding, here’s the real version:

1. Keep your front foot nearer to center than normally.

2. When you kick your board with the back foot, hit that thang hella hard!  (so your board goes near vertical)

3.  Then jump as high as you can while bringing your front foot up the board vertically and tuck your knees to your chest.

That’s it, you will have to practice a lot with timing though, it’s not as easy as said but if you keep trying, you should be able to ollie over a garbage basket no problemo.

One of my favorite tricks on a skateboard is a heelflip.  Heelflip is basically the opposite of a kickflip where you use your heel to kick out instead of flipping in.

Heelflips can be great for jumping high too as you are kicking more “out” instead of trying to flip your board.

Well, don’t listen to me, watch as Tony Hawk and his friend shows you.

Skateboard DIY – How to Triple Kickflip!

Here’s a video of a skateboarder doing a triple kickflip.  A triple kickflip isn’t too different from the regular kickflip except you do 3 flips.

How to do it?

Practice doing double kickflips by kicking the board harder while you jump.  If you master the double kickflips, try doing a triple simply by kicking the board harder. (or flippin’ it)

Once you get the hang of triple kickflips, it can get easier than a regular kickflip because you can kick it harder, therefore jump higher too.
