Been skating for 2 weeks now, i really, really enjoy it ! love the feel i get when riding down a hill and the air brushing my hoody every were

What i want to say is

How long does the ollie take to accomplish?

I try everyday nearly all the time, i just can't slide my foot don't know why =S

Any ideas?

different from person to person, it depends on your dedication or luck.
for me it took ages to get that first ollie and even then it was only an inch or two off the ground. some people will do it first try, but it doesn'y necaseraily mean they are gonna be better than you though. just dnt give up

It's not an easy trick to get down. 2 weeks is nothing, you'll probably need much more time than that. People try it for years and still can't get it. Keep at it.

Seriously dude you'll get therr, chin up and go practice some more!

fucking months for me but stick at it. serious though, that feeling you get when riding down a hill never gets old.

I'm having trouble nailing Ollie's as well.


Got back on the board this week after a year or so off it, and I'm still totally in love with it XD


And yeah...hills are epic

I've been skating just over 2 weeks now and I can only ollie on grass about 2-3 inches. But I know this dude who has been doing it for like nearly a year and he can't ollie as high as me on grass or on concrete...but he has the nerve to ollie onto curbs even though he can't....today I tried to ollie onto grass (while moving) got to the edge, bent my legs and just thought, fuck that and jumped off. It's annoying, my back leg just won't slam the tail down. grr
But I love just riding around aswell, if I find smooth pavements or paths or whatever, I'm off
