Thank you My Klong! I now see the light, ollie, only backwards. If a bear switch ollies a bench in the middle of the woods where no one sees it, did it really go down??

by far the worst trick tip ever on this site

My god!!! If someone is too cool for school that's fine. But why would you ask them to explain how to do a trick in a 'how to' video?

Most 'how to' go like this: 360 flip - First learn how to 360 shuvit. Then learn to kickflip. Then you want to combine the two. Flick it, land it in the air and ride away clean."

The exception is Thrasher's "How To Skate" from 1995 I think: Marc Johnson, Tim Brausch (r.i.p)…they actually seemed like they wanted to be helpful.

Also Mark Appleyard's nollie flip vid and Andrew Reynold's frontside flip vids were good. There are other good ones, but most end up like this Switch Ollie vid.
Fail.

Dang you guys are stupid. What, was he supposed to teach you how to ollie? You should already know. It was a trick tip more than a how-to.

Yeah… that trick tip was horrible, Mike Long is a self imposed cocky d-bag.

This is a good trick tip. TWS Are trying to help those who can't do this trick. Last time I tried teaching someone anything on a board I couldn't explain it to themthat good. As I can do it easier than teaching it to someone. Remember we are all learning on our skateboards it is that simple.

You're Right Bro' , pretty hard to explain how to switch ollie…It's not like a tre or a Flip…

So much Haters on this website…You are so pathetic to badly comment a simple video like this one…
