Soulja Boy is busy skating hard in the streets and not just goofing around at the park. He’s actually learning the basics, starting with one of the trickiest moves for beginners: the ollie.
Where’s he getting his lessons? Straight from YouTube, specifically from Ricky Glaser, whose tutorials have helped thousands of beginners get their footing.
When Glaser noticed Soulja Boy watching his “How to Ollie” tutorial, he couldn’t believe it at first.
The video shows Soulja trying to learn the trick, and next thing you know, Glaser saw the clip being shared online with Big Draco giving it a try.
What’s cool is how natural it seems for Soulja to blend skating with his music life. Fans have seen him film clips at the park, talk about skating, and share footage of his progress online. It’s not about trying to look like a pro. It’s more like he’s genuinely interested and enjoying something new.
Skaters who’ve been riding for years know how tough that first ollie can be, so watching someone like Soulja Boy try it out on camera, no less is pretty refreshing.
This moment is just a cool nod to how far Glaser’s skate content can reach. His tutorials are simple, helpful, and clearly landing with more people than he might’ve expected.
