How long did it take you to learn to ollie?

Ages and im still crap at ollieing although i just landed a shove it into manual at school yay

I bet your not as crap as me..... i can ollie about 2-3 inches. lol

But i only started practicing yesterday. YaY!

I cant seem to pull the back of my board up enough..

i learned how to ollie in the summer holidays and i were starting to land kickflips, but these days i cant do anything...must be because i havent practised to much since then.

Professional skaters still practice on their ollies as we speak. They're constantly trying to improve their ollie heights and distances.

Yeh, i know what you meen.

I wish i could just ollie like 1foot high in motion..

I would be happy with myself then.

i pretty pissed of at myself. Just went out for a quick skate, were trying my ollies and i was getting the hight, but my feet just kept slipping off the side...

It took me about 2 weeks whilst statioary and about two months to get em up curbs.

Took me ages and im still useless

Several years to get up a kerb on a regular basis..

i can ollie stationary, apparently im good.

but i cant ollie whiel moving.

coming up to 1 1/2 years and still haven't got ollies really sorted...I tweak everything constantly lol

i learned it by practicing a few hours everyday for about 5 days

4mins! got a groundbreaking height of about an inch!

MOnths.

For I could do a high ollie months

nearly 2 years. the about a foot high when moving now, but only cos im using a new deck

took me atleast a good solid 6 months to learn to ollie about 3 inchs high, and i still cant ollie down anything... :<. Got ollieing up curbs on lockdown tho .

2-3 months to ollie moving,about 5 months to ollie up and down kerbs

Took me about a 2 month of trying and trying.

i got it not moving after about a week n movin after about 2 months but i cant do kerbs or any of that

if you catch me in a very bad mood on a tiring day, even though i learnt how to ollie compatibly nearly two years ago i still will do my ollies dodgily i drives me

about 3 months, i was a bit slow

I can now officially ollie up curbs.

Got my new board yesterday, and instantly had to give it a wirl around ipswich.

Good Fun.

^^sweeet that must be a great feeling aden


Can't wait until I can ollie up shit lol...which shoudn't be far off now...

Yeh i am soo pleased, only had my new board since monday, only been skating a week, practicing about 2-3hours a day, getting very sweaty long hair....

But it has so payed off!

2 months. But my height is still kind of crap.

In total it took me a year to ollie up a curb. A fucking year! Although now about 7/8 years down the line i can ollie up a picnic bench and have succesfully ollie about 6/7 stacked decks. My all time favorite trick!

Ollies are teh pwn

I've been tryin 6 months and still aint ollied once!

i learnt to ollie in about two months, but i didnt spend much time trying it i spent like 10 minutes every two weeks, anyway i can't ollie moving yet thats probably gonna take me another month or something

Don't see much point in this thread

i learnt n ollie after 2 atempts :S and i was only 6 its like you do everything so easy at youg age but once you hit 17 you feel like a right old fart

have a cookie

about 10 mins


the end

took me about a week stationary in a gravel pit for a few hours a day for a week, then as soon as i tried it up kerbs i could do them. i can ollie down kerbs and 2 sets, but 3's are still too hard :S

it took me about a year. sadly. but once i got them i realised what i had been doing wrong, and after that i could do it every time. now, because im happy doing them i learnt to ollie 2 sets, then 3 sets very quickly. so im happy.

A month give or take.
Then the ollie failed me whilst doing a gap !

i can't remember learing to ollie

i can't remember learing to ollie up a curb

never mind 39 hehe


hey maybe that's why its taken me so long...I no longer bounce But yeah little kids seem to have no fear

Something I read recently. apparently women lose 1/2 their natural level of testosterone by age 40 compared to @ 20...and so you get more fear the older you get. damn

After just 209 days and 29 weeks and 6 days I nailed an ollie

Well, I nailed one last night (finally) and I've been skating for maybe, a month and a half, so...
A month and a half.

4 weeks *nods* I managed it today!

about a year.. I don't actually remeber doing it as I graduated so slow
GOT IT NOW THOUGH AND IT'S NEVER GOING AWAY!

2 weeks or so......Sure was awhile ago but I still remember the first one.

I had to learn from a photo sequence, because i had no access to videos and i was the only one i knew who was even skating back then, so it took me a good 2 or 3 months of pretty much solid trying.

And i still hate them.

Yeah I still suck at them to be honest....

took me ages just to learn to ollie it was like 2-3 months, but now im trying to do a kickflip and there just so hard i can the board to spin a bit but i dont reaaly know what to do

about a week ish, anda bout 3 weeks to get consistant. but, anything else(flips, etc) have taken years.

Well, i havent been skating for like 3 years & i just got my old board out the garage & popped one. but originally back in the day probably 2 - 3 weeks?
