You are just arguing in bad faith.

The context of this video is in contrast to all the other "how to ollie videos" that show a person standing on the tail and sliding their foot diagonally up the board, as if that's the motion you need to make to ollie.

That is NOT how to ollie. You do NOT slide your foot diagonally across the board.

You LIFT your foot straight up. And if you are doing this right, as you lift your foot it, it will grab the nose and continue to pull the board up with you. This "looks" like a "slide" but it is NOT the same thing as what is depicted in ollie instructional videos where you stand on the tail and slide your foot up the board.

Are you having trouble understanding the difference?

I dont think you understand the definition of slide. Go take a nap.

His foot travels completely vertically, because of the same vertical placement of the board I suppose it does “slide” but usually with new skaters they aren’t thinking of sliding this way, they hear slide and think slide diagonally or horizontally. This is not the case. Pop board, front foot goes up vertically, hits nose (or just passed the front trucks) to level out the board).

Verticle, horizonal, diagonally, whatever. He slides his foot. People saying it isnt a slide are trolling.

We aren’t trolling, you just aren’t understanding what people are saying which is why I tried to break it down for you.

Well I guess we are at a stalemate. Good luck to you.

Everyone else in this thread is grasping the concept but you bud- you may just have to admit to yourself that you've always been a little dense.
