My secret to popping tricks higher is to just tell myself to pop it higher. I have to push myself and put all my momentum into it. It's more of a mental thing too.
Hey bros its like this you gotta get that speed going you know a lot, and then you wanna get good footing right before you crouch to pop and then when you pop it's friggin great to kick it down hard and start to jump and lunge forward wicked hard. Just be careful with this tip because you usually get afraid of heights you're gonna be wicked scared of this one!!!
I try to judo kick my face.
My secret to pop my tricks higher is to keep my feet closer together and rest every few days do my legs regain strenth
My secret to pop my tricks higher is to keep my feet closer together and rest every few days do my legs regain strenth
Bring them legs up, you gotta jump like your Mike Jordan son!
To pop tricks higher, you gotta be riding a zoo york deck with some mellow ass concaves and focus the pressure on your back foot. Mob grip helps too.
my secret for poping high ass tricks is to crouch down and then pop the board and slide my foot and pick up my back truck some what like doing a boned ollie ..example say kickflip's i crouch down a little then pop and flick my foot out and then the board would flip and do i would some back foot catch thing..and roll away with steez
take an extra push and really snap that tail down like you mean business.
the secret to big pop is going really fast put ur front foot lower get ready for a big jump, pop, jump as high as u can keeping ur feet and board under you and tweak the tricks and stomp the trick.
My secret is to put my back foot on the tail but on the opposite side of the trick i am throwing down. I am goofy so if i was to do a varial kickflip, I would have my back foot on the left side of the board. But, if I am looking for that massive ollie, I would put my foot on the farthest back part of the tail. That way when I push down for an ollie, its more of a tap the a push down.
The secret is simple, Zoo York boards.
My way to popping my tricks higher is firstly to crouch more, so I put more weight onto my back foot, which gives the board a harder pop. Secondly I move my front foot back by a slight fraction and move my back foot into the shorter part of the tail, which gives me a snappier pop. And lastly I suck my legs the fuck up till my knees hit my face, almost like I'm tryin to fly. :)
The secret to good pop is to have complete confidence in your trick, and to just give it everything you've got.
My secret to popping tricks higher is to start with your front foot (left for regulars, and right for goofies) farther away from the front bolts and closer to your back foot. Another trick is to hit the tail harder and jump with your tricks as high as you can. Hope that helps, not that Brandon needs it
My secret to popping trick highter is warm up the legs and joints and other warm-up exercises . Health and Strength :D Start practicing :) GOOD LUCK
get some good speed going. put front foot back a little further that usual and get a real crispy snap on tail. try and stretch my legs out to get more pop and make it look all styley and shit
Stay Gold!
to try and get as much crazy pop as Brandon (is pretty much impossible to do) i turn my backfoot slightly so that most of my foot is hanging off the end of the tail and put my front foot about halfway up ma deck and smash the backfoot down like some machine!!!!!.......or just build up your leg muscles with steriods until they are about the size of horse leggerroons and then smash down a pop that will start a worldwide earthquake that only you will survive because that massively massive ollie saved you because while you were in the air the 10 minute earthquake took place and you landed (BOLTZ!) just as it finished keeping you ALIVE!!!!
I like to keep my body a temple.. I run and do some aerobics/gymnastic to be lightweight and then i always do my stretches, gotta be flexible :)
I can't rate my own pop, but I stay on my toes and put my back foot pretty far back on the tail. I use my upper legs and core rather than lower legs. It's hard to explain. I bend my knees a lot too. Another key component is hauling ass. It makes tricks bigger, more badass, and more fun, and more cool looking, and cooler. I also stretch a lot and in the winter when I can't skate I try to run and lift and stretch so my legs don't get too rusty...not exactly from an expert but there ya go!
I work out those calf muscles and then you know you can get buck. but the secret is to tuck your knees up as high and tweaked as ya can. Almost have your legs n knees sideways.
My secret to pop my tricks higher is the speed and the strength. more speed better pop and higher tricks
I start out by watching all the Bruce Lee films in chronological order.
After that I follow Andrew Reynolds diet regiment.
After that I drink three pots of coffee in 2 hours, and no less.
I physically grow five inches.
Then I listen to Reign in Blood.
Everything else just seems to come together.
When i wanna boost an ollie over something higher i first wear emerica shoes, i go a faster than usual and set my flick foot closer to my pop foot so i can have more room on the board to slide my foot up toward the nose, then i suck my back foot up as high as i could well tweaking it so i can get the back truck over the obstacle.
Get a hell of alot of speed & pop the the tail as hard as u can but while still maintaining control thn suck ur knees into ur chest n kickout. simple as tht. Just dont over think it let it come naturally. then ull be rollin like Westgate.
get the perfect mix of popping as hard as possible,and jumping as high as possible as soon as you feel the tail touch the ground jump as high as you can and tuck your knees up
p.s westgate if your reading this you are my inspiration :)
Get some Great Griptape on your board like MOB griptape first then when your doing tricks you got to plant your feet firmly on the board and preapare to POP the hell outta that tail and slide that front foot up with your hands out for balance.
It's all about mentality! you have to visualize and be convinced that you can make it up there.
Start by watching westgate put it down in stay gold. Then get on your board, stomp on the tail like it's the ballsack of the guy trying to steal your girl, slide that front foot up and suck your legs up like your trying to knee yourself in the face, and you'll be in there like swimwear. But personally I don't like to think about it so much, just do what you gotta do.
When im tryna get some high i just pop hard and jump as high as i can telling myself i can do it. Eventually ull get higher than u can when ur dumby keyed!
Be a lanky mutherfucker
I eat a shitload of beans then I fart myself up gaps.
My secret to popping my tricks higher is to have confidence, bend my knees, pop not to hard not so soft, bring my legs up, land, ride away :)
imagine just jumping over something without a board. if you can jump over it, you can do a trick over it. get a lot of speed going and time the pop with the jump. when you get those two things in sync, you got it.
i like to place my foot around the middle of my board and really just close my eyes and visualize in my head that I need to get over this sucka. it helps a lot if you try a trick over something. I roll up to whatever i'm gonna ollie over or up, and i slowly pump my legs pretty low and give good solid pop. when I'm in the air I try to suck my feet and keep them in the air for as long as i can. That's my secret
The way i pop my tricks higher is to first i lose all consciousness of everything around me and only focus on the board. To me its also easier when i have more speed because why do tricks slow? Then i bend down to where my ass is like 5-6 inches away from the board and i just put all my energy into popping it as hard as i can. And so far thats worked for me.
a good new board and get them legs up.
what i do is just bend ur knees focus and pop me i focus on my slide and pray to god my board is up their with me haha
It's all about toes!, i mean not being so flat-footed and feet placement on tail and nose is essential...so being light on my feet gives me that extra pop power!!....'Stay Gold'.
first off gotta have a pair of emerica's on.. And whenever you pop pull your knee's to your nipples :D couldnt be anyeasier..
Pop higher!
Another helpful thing I do is put the bouncy stuff from flubber (the movie) on my shoes and board, but that's just me.
My secret to popping higher, is get into this sub-concious state, I enter my bruce lee, and chuck norris mode, whip out a "HOOIIIII SHAWHF!" and jump like a spider monkey being chased by a gorrila or somthin. While in the air, all sounds seem to go mute, slow motion goes apon the enviorment, and vision blurs. Everything blurs, besides my feet, legs, board, and the gap im trying to fly past. Than Brandon's voice comes upon my ears, saying "you can do this. you can ollie this, i will bless you with pop, pop like mine. Focus....focus...." than I land. Bending my legs, keeping my feet stable, and keeping balance. Siiiicckkk!
I actually like to visualize it before poppin the trick. I approach it from two different ways when I visualize it- First, I see it from outside my body(picturing myself flyin high from someone else's point of view) This way I can see how I want it to look. Next I like to imagine myself actually popping the trick in my head. (pullin' that front up up with force and suckin my knees up to my head)
After I have these two visualizations down in my head a few times, I find myself much more confident when it comes to actually poppin it sky high and rollin away. Practice visualizin and my pop is better every time
Change your name to Brandon westgate and hope for the best
The key to getting that home depot pop, well, I wouldn't know, but to get the most out of my ollies. I like to have my feet a little closer together than normal, squat down not all the way but like taking a dump eagle style in a porta potty. Snap. No Crackle. Pop.
The secret to getting the highest pop is practice/ Practice make perfect.
I'm sure it's a breakfast of banana and beer.
My secret to my POP is:
Eat a lot os spagheti with rockfort sauce.So, when you're going to pop your trick remember to do a badass fart.So you'll pop as higher as a double rainbow!
My secret is hall ass once you pop suck your knees in and once its leveled put some weight on the front so your front foot is out like a ninja . Oh ya it also helps if you have wings like westgate, how do you think he gets so high.
Alright so you wanna know the key to getting crazy pop like my boy Westgate right here?
Step 1 - Rock Emerica's. Biggest step of them all. What other shoe will give you more comfort and last as long.
Step 2 - Skate fast. If you notice, Westagte doesn't go one push or two push. He pushes the hell out of the board.
Step 3 - Be a man. Check this. You show up at a spot and wanna get something sick on film or a photo. What do you want? A low tre flip down a gap or a big, foward foot catch, while not even close to being halfway down the gap catch, like my boy Westgate.
Follow these and you'll be poppin higher then anyone except Brandon of course.
to pop higher i just dont think about poping as high as i can. i just do it the best i can and go with the flow.
to pop my tricks higher i put my back toes only on the tail so it feels snappier. then when im in the air i try to tweak or shifty it so it looks cooler and goes higher. i imagine i am a mini brandon westgate and that motivates me to jump higher so i dont discrace the name westgate. and lastly you have to wear emericas (mainly the westgates) because they are the best shoes for not just for getting higher tricks but just for skateboarding
My secret to big pop is to try and relax my lower body as much as I can and use my core to pull my knees to my shoulders.
Ok my secret Brandon is to charge the obsticle in full speed and get low to my board while still speeding fast and 4 feet away i unleash it by poping my tail down while moving up and sliding my foot at the edge of the nose gets me more pop and higher over the rail or ledge
wear EMERICAS to get that shit up
I just like to skate.
Probably biking
The secret I have to popping my tricks higher is this... First I make sure my front foot is not to high or to low on the board like right under the under the front bolts and back foot perfectly on the tail. Then bend down to where you feel most comfortable and pop the the tail as hard as you can and lift then slide the front foot to the top if the board and jump as high as you can. Then just imagine you tryin to get over something big. After that big pop just let gravity pull you back down and land smoothly and ride away clean
My secret to popping higher tricks is to 1.first of all eat some honey nut cherrios. You need a good strong heart just like brandon in order to pop dem treflips over waist high rails. 2. Watch every Emerica video ever made! & 3. Vision yourself doing the trick as high as you can and then just go for it and commit! Its easy as 123!
you know what they say if you want to pop the westgate way where EMERICAS every day
Good luck future SOTY
You simply just gotta go fast( not too fast) have your foot back not too far but just in the that perfect zone for you. Then bend your knees nice and deep not too much. Then pop nice and hard then suck your knees to your chest and then come down nice and even after completing what ever trick it is.
bend down lower and have size 51 wheels in the front and 52 in the back lol

Recipe for a Poptastic Ollie Maneuver
Just before I pop my tail i ease up on the pressure for a quick second and then slam it down. Then I drag my foot almost straight up and swipe it almost to the end of my nose. Then I bone my front leg out and pull my back foot almost to my front leg's thigh/groin area. To piece it together I level out as I reach what appears to be my peak height and attempt to and stick it. I then roll away and feel fancy as butt.
first i watch a Brandon Westgate video then i go out and buy myself a zoo york board and some emericas then somehow it magically combines into a Brandon Westgate steezwich(steeze sandwich) and next thing you know I'm popping text book tres over handrails and making little kids jaws drop!
plan to do a grab...but don't actually grab. nahwuhimeen brandelz wezzgatez??
A friend told me the secret to just skating and doing tricks. That secret was don't be a bitch to the board. The board will help you do your tricks and many more. It does work , I'm fucking proof .
Better pop - no probs! Just get a robo leg! It's on sale now in Walmart. Check out the ad: http://www.dirtydesign.pl/pics/brandon.jpg
It's absolutely robopopmastic!
the secret is easy is to do a high ollie and legs shrink
Fisrt I read his transworld byer's guide interview and scramble to the local skateshop to recreate his setup and then I watch a video of his for inspiration and just think to myself I think I can I think I can and just ollie up, over, and down anthing I can find and all you need is a good snap and balance your weigh when you drag your foot up. Oh and STAY GOLD FO SHO !!
The higher you jump and leap after snapping the tail or nose, the higher your ollie or nollie tricks will be. Building up your calf muscles can aid in boosting the height of your ollies or flip tricks.
I would say biking
I like to pretend that I'm Santa and the nose of my board is attached to the reindeer. You get movin' fast on that sled then take those reins and tell those reindeer what to do! You'll be spreadin' joy in no time
for me when i want to pop higher i
1:crouch low as if im about to pounce on a prety like a tiger
2:pop as hard as i can, stomp it like a goomba
3:jump as high as i can like a kangaroo
4:i slide my front foot up and towards the nose far enough to like im trying to scissor kick
results: higher popped kickflip or ollie
i actually took inspiration from the Westgate himself . jsut tried it one day and it actually helped maybe ill be an asian Westgate some day...iwsih
My tip to poppin higher is doing is crouching down nd poppin like a mad man (clearly) skating fast in front of a bunch a people nd show em how its done. the front foot doesnt matter to me cause i still get em high whether on the front bolts or on the back. but we all kno Mr. Butterworth Westgate has angle wings carrying him up to the sky every time he thinks of a kickflip.
i even bought a Zoo york westgate stay gold board to rep the westgate! haha
mine is to be a tall guy, so I'm higher in the sky! lol
I was trying almost everything to have great pop. You know, different foot stances, body positions, low, high, magic griptapes. Even that mind blowing heli pop miracle decks. Nothing worked for me. I felt depressed that I will never be like Brandon. I get on drugs and lost my friends. I thought that is the end when I met some strange guy. He told me about force. About power of Pop. It took a months in Eastern Academy to gain that force but now I feel it. I can pop that high that I've never dreamed before. The key to the success is to believe. Believe and beware of darkside of the force...
I like to bend my knees a lot
Put my front foot in the middle of the board and my back foot is hanging off a little on the tail
Then pop pretty hard
Flick right away
Jump as high as possible and suck my knees up (almost like a judo kick to get higher)
Then land it steezy like Westgate
My secret for popping tricks higher is to choose a higher obstacle.
And if I believe very strong in me popping over the obstacle some wondrous forces get me over.
skate faster
Something that everybody has left out and what I found the secret of popping tricks higher is PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE FOOL! also livin in NY helps to. You got plenty of crap to hop over street slayin.
1. Buy Mob
2. Get rollin'
3. Set up your feet
4. Bend your knees
5. Snap it and think like a Ninja
6. Land it and go bomb a hill.
cranberries. or cranberry raisan, the craisans
Listen up good, you little kids, imma tell you how it is. First off, you gotta make sure your ur hauling ass. Atleast 20mph, no exceptions. Then when u snap the tail, make sure you slam it down like Bruce Lee, nice n quick like some 1-inch -punch shit. After you got your shit proper, smoke a fat ass spliff. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense. The higher you are, the higher your gonna go! Follow these instructions and you'll be floatin over shit like its nothing!
FUCK!!!! thats some kobe shit my nigga !!!
Its more of common sense than a secret but shoes with good grip and board feel, a non-soggy deck, and clean black grip. Have to feel comfortable, stretching could help.
my secret to better pop is having my front foot farther down on the board so there is more room for your foot to slide witch gives your board more pop
I was trying almost everything to have a nice pop. Different strances, foot positions, crouching low, high and magic griptapes. Even new technologies like heli pop doesn't work for me. I was depressed and got into drugs. My friends leaved me too. But someday I met a strange guy. He told me about force and power of pop. I've spend months in the Eastern Pop Acadamy. It was hard work for me but now I can pop so high that I never dreamed of before. The key to succeed is to believe and be patient. If you can do it you can do everything. But remember to beware the dark side of the force...
i put 5 boards up. eat shit a couple of times, then bone them.
first you have to win this giveway so you can have that zoo york board and those steezy venture trucks packed wit lightness so you can run train on these ollies puttin all your swaaaggggg on blasssssttttttt!
When you mix all the ingredients up right, everything just falls into place,the Emerican way. stayin golddddddd.
poppin those tricks is all about commitment and confidence. You gotta pop it hard and raise your knees super high so you can get the true height you want.
having a zoo york board isnt everything to higher pop, its the only thing, along with big, style an tech. when or after you get those all together , your gunna go out thier and kill everything for daysssss, like a true emerican
It's pretty simple how Brandon pops like a straight up boss. Step 1: Squat like you're taking the biggest dump of your life. Step 2: Snap that tail like you're jumpin over yo mama. You better pop that ollie high or you're kill mama westgate. And finally Step 3: Stay lofty and bend them knees! Follow these steps and you'll be flyin like it's nobody's buisness. It's the Westgate approved 3 step poppin plan for all of your high snappin ollie needs!
You just gotta to remember to eat your rice krispies every morning. Snap, crackle, Westgate.
Blast some Gnarly music that gets you hyped, then you'll have the energy to ollie up over pretty much anything you set your mind too!
He drink Coke first together with a Mentos, then skate and oh of course he wears Emerica Shoe, that has more board feel that makes his board a part of his body.
I just have to do everything really natural, and relax myself. Because most of the time, when I try to pop harder, I try to hard and have no control. So I just have to flow.
Sometimes speed helps with adrenaline, squatting right before the trick, moving you're front foot back on the board, and pulling those knees up once you're in the air for maximum vertical.
But my hyPOPthesis is that there are other unconventional things you might need:
lolliPOPs, POP rocks, POP corn, POPscicles, jalapeno POPPers, POP tarts, drink soda POP, become POPular, help POPulate the world, grow some POPpy flowers and a POPlar tree, POP balloons and various other things that can be POPPEd (eg bubbles!!!), appreciate POP art and music, POP vitamins, allergy medicine or aspirin to stay healthy.
oh yeah, have fun skating.
You can‘t “Pop” your tricks higher! Its all in your legs if you can jump high your tricks will be higher
my secret to some buttery popcorn is to move your body to like youre riding a wave and stomp that tail and tuck the legs.
My secret to pop my tricks higher is to concentrate and training over an obstacle and just bend my knees as much as i can :)
My secret to popping higher is stomp on the tail jump like your jumping the border suck you feet in to your chest and that gets my ollies way high also some of my other tricks. GO BRANDON WESTGATE STAY GOLD!!!
to pop higher......you work at jumping higher and sucking your legs in.
its diffrent everyone realy how they skate is how they skate just gotta practice alout and work at it everyday but personalley get a realy slick but grippy shoe and just kick first with my right foot and slide up wierdly like a olllie and hope you get it i do it everyday i live emerica everyday in everyway emerica for life
How to get higher pop
step 1 : drink a redbull or some coffee
step 2 : crank up some loud music
step 3 : bend your knes and just give 100 %
step 4 : just fly away!
pop hard. jump high. slide up. be black. judo kick.
I wear double sockss hahaha jp i put my front foot slightly over the middle and the back one right on the edge of the tail
watch a few videos where people pop their tricks SUPER high(ex. Westgate's parts in stay gold and new shoe new part) then go skate with your friends and break yourself off
to get the best out of my ollies i just stretch before i do them
There are a few tips that help me pop higher:
Keep my feet slightly closer together. But not so close that I lose balance
Lock my torso and shoulders square over the board instead of having my shoulders face outwards. Having my torso and shoulders square over the board helps me keep my balance.
As soon as I snap the tail, I take the weight off my feet and let it come as high as possible.
Also I make sure to level the nose out in mid air which evens out the board and brings the tail higher.
Those things combined help me pop my tricks higher
I mean its all mental how high you pop, but you got to put in effort in pushing yourself all the time and being comfortable on that board. I just put my feet in a basic ollie position, and whatever I am ollieing over I just visualize the trick happening, having no doubt in myself and thinking positive, then popping with NO HESITATION! That's the secret right there. Oh and of course getting yourself some grippy Emericas and a crispy board to make it all that much easier and give you that nice snap.
My secret to my Pop is Well a Secret ;)
Haha My Secret Is That I Eat Sleep And Watch Stay Gold
I drink a bottle of Cranberry juice every day, stretch, suck my legs up and throw them over as high as i can.
When you pop you just got to squat down like you're bouta drop a turd, and jump up as much as you can with bringing your knees as high up with you as you can along with your whole body almost as though you're trying to smell that fat shit you just took squating.
My secret to popping higher is watching brandons stay gold part every night before I go to bed then again every morning with a nutritious breakfast of rice kripsy treats and cranberry juice. Then listening to ozzy right before I go skate. Bend your knees then you can Ollie whole cars. That's my secret to popping higher
All I do is suck my knees up really high just before I knee myself. Which I've done before, and it sucks. And I've got some mad high ollies. Anyways, I don't care if I get picked, you're still the man Brandon! Much love, Stay Gold son!
Mine is to get a really fast speed and use the ball of your foot and slam it down and lift your knees up your chest.
the secret to poppin that shit high like westgate is to find the buttery ass spot on your board and then pop it like ur poppin a pimple then just jump as high as u can like a ninja and catch that shit then land it!
My secret to poping my board is I get up stretch,drink water and start doin plyometrics to get mah legs pumped and ready for impact then i go and get my board and my ipod and do some mini ollies while listenin to music then i start poping em as high as i can then i start practicing the kickies and the shuvies then back to my ollies i just feel that my technique helps me but everyone has theirs :)
I move my front foot closer to the middle of the board or lower and then bend them knees and once you pop kick those feet like your throwin a crazy karate kick!!!!!
I usualy either tell my self to do it, put my front foot ack more or just say be a man
For bigger pop I flip the board around so my back foot is on the nose, get low and karate kick ollie, easy as that.
Many techniques may be implemented while trying to maximize ones pop, speed is of critical especially when popping out of inclines, impersonating the push of an angry wildebeest is the way to start. To perform optimal pop you should also imagine your legs as that of a muscular gorilla whos rage is being unleashed on your tail as you leap like a savage tree frog.
I believe there is no right or wrong way. Obviously speed, leg strength, and foot position help, but who ever learned a trick from a "trick tips"? The best way to get you pop higher is to get your ass outside and GO SKATE! why are you reading about popping high when you should be doing it!
To be honest, I don't really have a secret. I just try my hardest by getting as much speed as I can bombing those hills just like Brandon did in Stay Gold. I've got long legs too so I think that's probably an advantage haha. Brandon, if you read this I just want you to know that you seem like a really rad dude and I have high hopes for you in the future! Also, really diggin' the new shoe mate! Keep Shreddin.
Man up. Or eat some pop rocks.
To make yourself pop higher, don't get stressed about it. what always helped was to set up stuff to ollie over and you naturally pop higher. One tip to get started though is to put your toes at the middle of the tail.
my secret to a high ollie is to go fast and smash that tail and jump like there's lava on the ground or some shit like that. that's how i do it hahah
Pop hard, get good flick with your front foot, and the suck up your knees to your chest. Or you can just pretend to be B.W. (either one works for me)
Put some feathers under the insoles. You just float up and down. If that doesn't work, light some bottle rockets on your feet. pop right when they go off and you'll be popping over skyscrapers. Honestly, I have no secret, and I have no pop.
Oh and also pop with your toes, its more effective for me.
.
my secret for popping higher is to get a good amount of speed and have the right footing, an practice your pops if you wanna get like brandon. if you get your feet in a weird position you may not as get as much pop like westgate.
1 jump high
the secret for a beatiful and high pop is skating too much faster , be smoothest at skating like brandon and had stronger legs , because to get that high you need too much of this .
My secret is to get speed pop and move into a non-grab melon position by moving my feet in front of me and bending my knees.
1 jump high 2 pop hard as you can 3 suck your feet nd board up 4 the most important is timing.
i put the toe of my back foot on the tail and i put the toe of my front foot in the middle of the board. then you just pop and yeuh. works for me, i get crazy pop.
you need to jump when fliping and get your backfoot of the ground to nail your buttery trick
SECRET =1- Wear Emericas. 2-Watch Stay Gold. 3-Watch Brandon Westgate's Zoo York State of mind, New Shoe New part, Volcom All days roll into one, Welcome to Zoo York City and 5boro - Word of mouth.4- Focus Most of your strength on your popping leg(be sure to stay balance). and put your front foot on the middle of the board and the bust your Ollie, remember to make your front foot slide on the grip tape of the board until the nose to get proper and leveled pop. *if you want mad Pops on Flip tricks then do step 1 - 4 but this time wait for the board to pop before you flick. the most important secret on mad pops is the fucking SPEED. Look at Westgate, he is a fucking speed demon!!!
you gotta pop it like your popin a boner for your girlfriend!!!!!
My thing to oop tricks higher, is to wear some Emerica shoes! Skate fast, and really jump, bouce off as i kick, and pull my back foot the most and bring my knees to my shoulders! first I jump, then I flick! and then i hang on! hella crispy pop!!
light as a feather man, just push the tail down hard, jump and treat your feet like they're weightless. knees to the chest. it's gravy.
yu have to pop harder and jump higher all while wearing your westgate pro model shoes and riding your zoo york board
i put my foot so that none of my toes are hanging off and sorta in the pocket cause i found that it gives you a quicker pop and i snap the tail down as hard as i can and jump as high as i can and doing that got me to ollie 7 boards
1. Feel the board
2. Get a good crouch in
3. GO FAST.
4. Pop hard
5. Suck them knees up
6. Land bolts
7. Be Stoked.
there is not really a secret to higher pops but for me i put my foot on the back of the tail the when my foot hits ground i jump as high as i can completing the tricks
before trying this u should have the trick u wanna pop high on lock
bend your knees
pop as hard as you can
slide ur foot up as hard as u can ( different way for different tricks )
suck up ur feet to your chest as high u can
and second most important is timing, timing, timing
and the most important thing is brandon westgates zoo york deck and the new brandon westgate emerica shoes
kids dont be trying to pop ur tricks high and clean if u dont have the most thing and yo already noe what that is . So go get those westgate emerica shoes and have fun skating yall
My secret is in my mind and in my effort!
Eat my Vegimite an smash down 10 wheatbix, pop on me old white gum Renolds, roll up, squat POP and roll away, lookbacks of course!!!
what you gotta do is get yourself some Orville redenbacher popcorn ..it adds some extra butter too your pop ;) watch some westgate footage too get yourself hyped up watching some gnarly hammers,go out and pop some flips over some massive rails.as much as you can,than maybe one day..one day you will be able too pop as clean and ass sick as Mr westgate himself
My secret? I just focus on trying to snap the tail trough the floor, and I move my feet as slow as I can without losing the trick. Shred the gnar all you mo-fo's
its all in the scoop...oh wait he said that for a coke flip in transworld a ollie would be TO POP THAT SHIT LIKE BRANDON WESTGATE and soon after a couple of those you'll be sweatin more than mike tyson in a spelling bee C:
pop is in the legs an in your brand new zoo york westgate pro model. keep swag get techhyyy and fly away with your skate, and make sure to land on the east coast cause thats where the real steezz is at.
It's all about focus like when you shoot a basketball you envision it going through the hoop,not air balling or bricking against the rim. I see myself going up and over whatever obstacle I'm trying to hop over,across,or down. That and I try and hit my knees to my chest.
I Just put that front foot my left one cuz im regular yall know and i put that front foot of minez right up under them front bolts witha green one alwayz in the back left spot why cause im real thats why and then i think like damn i gotta blast that shit up and over this rail then smack that right leg down flick that front foot out and land with a little reynolds squat to absorb my impact know what im sayin
When I'm all warmed up, I setup my feet to where I feel comfortable, pop as high as I can, sucking my knees up, and flick fast. GET COMFORTABLE, POP, SUCK THOSE KNEES UP, FLICK FAST.
Ankle weights....and lots of um
Secret too pop Tricks are....hangout with Steve Rodriguez and cruise around NYC all day because that will cause your leg muscles to get stronger and with all the spots out there it will put those Muscles too good use....but remember its a secret so dont say anything
practice practice and more or you can just be born badass ie. brandon
my trick is to imagine my foot sliding up the deck and to lift my other foot off the tail a little bit.
:)
big wheels, high trucks, and leg muscles.
It's more about getting yourself to jump higher then it is to popping your board! If you focus on jumping higher and keeping your legs as close to your body as possible, then your board will follow you.. All this leads to steezy ass pop, Westgate style!
skateboard, pop, suck, land.
1) Dream you're as good as Westgate
2) Get ya self a good breakfast
3) Lace up some emericas
4) Get up some wicked sick music on your ipod
5) Pop like your life depended on it!!
I just try to jump higher. Think of yourself like a sperm cell jumping up to reach the egg. I always think that. But then again, its just me.
Three simple steps:
1) Live somewhere cold,
2) Think about skating all winter,
3) Pop tricks like a mad man when it warms up!
personally i say the secret is to just do them all day. cruise around and do them to get better even if you suck at first. maybe after time you can blast them like westgate there
ALright kids im gonna let you know how to pop your tricks higher you ready? okay so what you do is eat a king size rice crispy treat you know to get that snap crackle and pop all large factors in gettin yo tricks up there also you take the metal washers guarding your doh dohs off and replace them with some soda pop bottle tops with these tips youll be able to ollie like Aldrin G. frontside flip like andrew reynolds, and tre like everyones new favorite pro BRANDON WESTGATE!
The one thing I can think of (other than lots of speed) is to do whatever trick it is slightly late. You can't be scared of bailing or falling. If it's a kickflip, ollie first, then kick the board once you're air born. I see so many kids make the same mistake of doing the ollie and the kick at the same time, which can lead to people getting hurt. No bueno. Give yourself some time to actually flick the board just incase it doesn't flip, you can still try to bail out. Just don't land on the board! Oh and Westgate's part inspired me to start going up gaps, and it's fun as hell!
I don't really have a 'secret' but if you ask me, squat down, just find that comfortable spot and pop that bitch like a cheating hoe. When you get up there make sure you keep that steezy style and come down clean and easy. Ain't nothin to it but to do it..
i eat nice big bowl corn POPS to keep mine going nice and high
i really dont think there is a secret, you just pop slide your foot forward, lean forward but not too much, jump as high as you can and bring those legs up with you. With practice everyday on those ollies,being committed and never giving up, will get them pretty high, and its the same for other tricks. you just gotta have that attitude that you could just go in and do it theres no such thing as luck. But i think brandon has those buff ass legs which makes him jump higher and pop higher
It's my shoes of course.
My secret? Ingest as much helium as the human body can tolerate, drink a Redbull, spend an hour jumping up and down in place for a few hours, walk in moon-shoes as much and possible, and throw on a fresh pair of Emericas before I skate... All of this and I still cant ollie over a foot high. Ive got nothing.
its all about timing!!! you need a certain amount of pressure while popping and you need a the right timing in your swiping when you swipe your foot toward the nose...and obviously you need to jump as well or nothing is going to happen
first, drink some soda pop
second, pop a cap in a scooterer
and last, get on my baker heli-pop board
there's no secret, it's all practicing and having fun
KEEP ON SKATING
The easiest way to pop higher is to just bend your knees, or simply purchase yourself a fresh pair of Emericas and just jump. The soles are so dope that the grip will just stick to your shoes.
My secret to popping tricks higher is that I put hard drive magnets underneath the insoles of my shoes that attract the trucks & bearings & I just jump like Kobe Bryant & pretend I'm black, ya' know what I'm sayin'?! :o) LOL
i just concentrate how much pop my boner has and try to pop my board just like my boner..
My secret to popping higher isn't really a secret or anything. All I do is practice jumping as high as I can on my board a couple times. Then, I get really low and just try some ollies and see how that works. Too bad I'll never get pops as high as Brandon Westgate though. I can only dream of being half as good as him... Every time I watch Brandon's part in Stay Gold, I never understand how it's possible to ollie that high...
Don't think about how many stairs, how high the rail is, how long the gap is, just pop. Pop your board harder than you popped your first cherry. In fact....yeah imagine popping your board like you're about to pop a girl's hymen. It's all or nothing.
Come on now, we all know the secret to pop... Pop Secret! I eat some of that stuff every time before I go out skating, and you can be sure that my tricks are poppin'! (PS gotta make sure to get the kind with extra butter so you get some of that butteryass style)
A good way of popping your tricks higher it to develop good board control because once you have board control that gives you a better feel for all your tricks so it enables you to do your tricks on point even popping them as high as Westgate does!! board control is what separates us everyday sk8ers to our pros of today!! Just look at the way Brandon Westgate sk8s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =))))))))))
(or it could just be the cranberry juice)
The trick is to watch hours of video, mostly of westgate, and study how they defy gravity.
whats the secret to popping tricks higher? I'll tell you..
Let me lay it on the line here, we're starting from step one. You gotta get outta bed feeling good. shoot, maybe even jump outta bed to get dat pop flowin through you veins. Enter kitched from the left if you're goofy, right if youre regular. Do a front 360 into your seat and break out the pop tarts. I'd reccomend chocolate fudge if youre goofy, and blueberry if youre regular. This is very important, dont forget. as for juice, I like to mix some grape with some orange. make sure its exactly 40% orange, 60% grape. if you mess that up, you can kiss your sweet ollies good bye.
Next you're gonna want to stay as scummy as possible. Im talking same week old white tee and last night's puke encrusted pants. And if you shower, you might as well pick up some rollerblades and go off yourself, youre not built to ollie like a champ.
Now we're at the moment of truth. youre walking outside, board in hand. youre feeling good. its precisely 62 degrees and the sun is shining. its ollie weather, alright. thats for sure, you can sense it. step on your board, push till youre going exactly 15.7 mph, and slap that tail down like youre backhanding the waitress that messed up your order. your front foots gonna wanna slide waaay up the nose. Man, you know how to ollie. do that. just bigger. Now ride off into the sunset whilst screaming fans gawk at your radical air.
sorry that took 3 posts to describe. but you asked how to pop your tricks higher and I couldnt skimp on the details. all those steps are 100% necessary.
hope that helps
The secret to bigger pop is just using the ball of your foot to pop with, and a lot of practice till your muscle are gangster enough to pop onto that upledge, lipside that rail, or blunt stall some sketchy ass bank.
A mate of mine gave me that tip when I was a wee tyke, best skateboarding advise I was ever given
Go wicked fast, like mach 10 and pop up like your MJ dunkin on fools
If it don't work out then do it again son!
more pop? strap on your gnar boots and harness the gnarness
well i set up boards and start with one the add one each time i cleared it, or use ankle weights
I think brandon knows the secret and would be laughing at all of us trying to figure it out maybe you could read his transworld byer's guide interview and get some insight into his setup and how he does it. or you could do what he did skate till you drop and build up them leg musceles just try your luck you may be supriesd where your ollie could take you STAY GOLD !!
Fisrt I read his transworld byer's guide interview and scramble to the local skateshop to recreate his setup and then I watch a video of his for inspiration and just think to myself I think I can I think I can and just ollie up, over, and down anthing I can find and all you need is a good snap and balance your weight when you drag your foot up. Oh and STAY GOLD FO SHO !!
The secret of popping is just focus first on the trick you want to hit up, take some speed, then bend your knees and right on the way up hit as hard u can that tail follow by the variation of choice.. and BANG!.. you have it, the art of popping
Hope you land it ;] peace
Honestly, there really is no secret to having high pop. Sure there's all this different board technology out there stating that "their boards make you pop 10x higher" when in reality it's all in your mind. That's all skateboarding is. If you believe you can do a trick you most likely can. Self-doubt is a mother f*cker though. Thinking about a trick, but then doing it and commiting to it just takes practice. Same thing goes for higher pop. Practice, practice, and practice. I guess my secret to higher pop is just believing that you do have high pop and stick to that mind set. Then again it's all just practice.
it seems like the faster you go the higher you can pop your tricks ...
my secret to popping my tricks higher is to eat a pop tart and then use this secret ninja stance i saw in a bruce lee movie where he jumps super high!!! :D
mr.Westgate is Michael Jordan on skateboard
dude. everyone knows that the secret to popping higher is eating bagels. Bagels have a special ingredient in them that gives your pop more power.
Get a little bigger wheel on your tail and smaller ones on your nose and you'll pop that shit!!!!!
Get a little bigger wheel on your tail and smaller ones on your nose and you'll pop that shit!!!!!
I like to analyze the story about how the cow jumped over the moon.
Then I grab my Jordan's.
Kick tail hard, flick foot hard, jump as high as you can and bend your knees up to your chest.
I gotta be thinking about some gnarly Jimi Hendrix or Dead meadow.
I will bend my knees the best I can
have an image in my head about jumping as high as I possibly can
pop massively
and while in the air would bend my knees the best in my ability dawg.
and i make sure i got some emericas on my feet
I think I have to ollie as high as I can or my feet gets stuck on a spiked burning fence covered with skulls and blood, and if I hung up I die. So pop pop cause I wanna live and fly high
the real secret that even westgate used is ,buying OLLIEPOP gum at your local skateshop
because this will give you so much pop
The secret of high ollie is just to have fresh deck and pop it as powerfull as you can
I'm just skatin on the moon anytime i need pop.
Being humble is his secret. His crazy pop is a blessings to him. When God pours down a talent on popping those huge ollies, Westgate got it all.
Your a beast Westgate! ROTY of 2010 and next, SOTY 2011!

the only thing you should do to have an super high pop is that: before you go for a session smoke some weed that makes you go high!
The secret is that inspiration and strength that comes from the heart of who really skate for love, with truth and respect, the evolution comes from training and the height of the maneuvers with perseverance. Experience the true skateboard. peace.
But what I do is just when I skate sometimes I will just ollie up, over, or down the places I skate and you just need speed and just go for it get get snappin FOSHO!! and tuck the back leg
Formula for pop
Good Snap+Tucking Back Foot+Going Fast = Wait that equals Brandon Westgate same thing though
I hope they actually read from top to bottom in this thing
You need to focus allot Brandon to do mine and to be the future SOTY cuz i have faith talk to me on my inbox or page
My secret is to put my back foot on the tail but on the opposite side of the trick i am throwing down. I am goofy so if i was to do a varial kickflip, I would have my back foot on the left side of the board. But, if I am looking for that massive ollie, I would put my foot on the farthest back part of the tail. That way when I push down for an ollie, its more of a tap the a push down.
I set my feet lower, and go faster, its all about picking your feet up too, because if they dont go up, you wont go up.
What i do is look what your doing and try it sometimes ii crouch lower and pop the tail and get 2 yard off the ground you halv to go fast to
is just going really fast,and do a kung fu jump like brandon westgate!!
I try to think of myself moonskating.
I Flick my back foot off the board just a tiny bit to allow the back to come up freely. Also keep back striate and put more effort into the jump.
Model your skating after watching classic Keith Hufnagel parts...
for me popping higher is physical and mental. to pop higher i squat down just a lil more and put all my force behind the pop and try to imagine im jumping a hurdle. you have to believe you can do it.. if you don't believe in yourself you'll never reach your goals.
Sweet & Tasty pop recipe!
1st: Get a 7 plies of wood pressed together.
2nd: When it's ready step on it with a pinch of bravery
3rd: Push it with your left or right shoe depends of your taste. Your shoe should be suede or canvas. Leather isn't to good for this delicacy
4th: When you gain proper speed push your back feet as hard as you can. If proporties are good you should hear nice sound
5th: Jump and taste the air and feel free
6th: Land it and enjoy. Good luck and bon appetit!
to get the most pop i can get i generally tend to stomp my tail as i jump like i want to snap it straight off my board, its the only way i can get crazy pop... not westgate crazy pop mind you but crazy for me
Just charge it! The faster you skate the higher you'll pop.
I exercise my legs for at least an hour everyday. I think that helps me the best from my legs becoming sore from the jumps.
the secret is to have the name Brandon Westgate and be in the East Coast
Mental:
Just mobilizing myself, by thinking "pop is the key, once you will be as cool as Reynolds, Westgate, Suski or Templeton man, keep pushing!"
Physical:
Skating everyday to get bigger leg muscles, and of course Emerica shoes.
Put the ball of your tail foot on the edge of the tail and put pressure into the board when you crouch. Don't crouch too much or you'll kill your spring and don't for get to get super flexible so you can suck it up as high as possible.
first just go hella fast and put your feet a few inches in front of the back bolts and slam it like there was a big nasty bug right under your tail and slide all the way to the nose
Bro hoook me up and the secret is squats
I just go to work on that shit snap crack and pop yo!
STAY GOLD.
jump like you're throwing a jean claude van damme knee to someone's throat
the that i get higer pop is to go faster and dont bend down and stay crouched it easy er to keep your momentum going and bbend down then come straight back up
practice. and visualization
Putting ut foot mad low then using the nose of the board as the tail
My trick to Poping tricks higher is first of all have some fresh gear mainly meaning Deck and Mob Griptape. then when doing tricks i bend down and snap the tail real nicely with the slide of my front foot to get some Mad Air! keep my hands out for balance and land with style.
oh and i gotta have my pops
my secret to good pop is a good board and some emerica shoes
The secret is not to think about it, just jump the fuck up...
you gotta jump real high like a black man trying to win a dunk contest. Pay close attention to your bodies position in space, better known as proprioception. There are many secrets to improving ones body. Go watch Karate Kid you'll see.
Go for it.
.back foot in the center/inner part of the pocket
.front foot slightly lower than usual ollie
bend those knees, POP/jump like you mean it! while sliding your FRONT foot up
the higher you tuck up your BACK LEG up,(front foot will follow, and give proper style) the higher the ollie. IT'S ALL ONE MOTION, LIKE WATER!
My secret to popping my tricks is to crouch down low till my balls touch the board. then to jump high as hell while kicking my front foot out in a boned sort of way. after that u take that shit to a wall gap or something to keep your game up and stay bad-ass
the secret of this big pop at the concentration of his mind, will, inspiration to skate and pop comes from the style of skateboarding, that's what he has!
i tell myself that if i dont pop it higher i have to break my own leg
my secret to insane pop is to get a shit load of speed. the faster u go, the higher u go.
man i wish i can pop like that this dude is awesome
