What part of the ollie are you having trouble on, if you can do it while on the carpet, but not while moving, guts may be the only problem.

can u ollie standing still on wheels?

[Professor Dan K.]

you know i think that might be it. i think i just kinda panic (subconciously of course :thumbsup: )

my board always seems to like slide out from under me when im moving, almost like a halfassed kickflip. i think once i can ollie, the other stuff which im not terrible at will kinda fall into place with practice.

:edit: yea i can ollie while standing still alot easier, esp when the board goes nowhere like on carpet or grass. cement still but theres a better chance ill slide out.

yeah i have been skating 2 times a day everyday for the past 2 weeks since the weather has started getting better. Sadly my board cracked today so it will probably gunna last me for one for sesh.

ever since i tore all the ligaments and muscle in my left foot from doing a 180 down some stairs, i gave skating up.

i miss it though, but i dont miss hurting myself.

i landed a varial kickflip in primo yesterday.. but i couldnt hold it and bailed, put my hands out to break my fall, now i have this huge bruise on the ball joint of my index finger.

im gonna keep at this til i get it. inline looks fun too but looks easier

i think theres a name for that trick, varial kickflip..its where the board does a kickflip shove it right?
