Watch Kanye West Learn How to Ollie

Written by Lia McGarrigle in Design

During the final day of Art Basel Miami, Kanye West dropped by an event in the Miami Design District hosted by skate magazine Jenkem and learned how to ollie.

After revealing that he had never learned, West asked Jenkem's Alex Raspa to "teach me how to ollie right now." He was also skating with the founder of the Miami Design District, Craig Robins.

In the clips below, Raspa gives West an ollie 101 lesson, telling him, “You gotta be comfortable,” and explaining that learning tricks is "just like you make music — it takes time."

Elsewhere on Raspa's Instagram stories and in our post below, we can see West attempting to perfect his ollie. As everyone cheers for his baby ollies, West says, “I need some air, though. Don't give me no props for that weak-ass shit.”
