Posted in r/NewSkaters for people stuck on bad ollies. One commenter suggests listing what you get wrong, then fixing it one step at a time.

“make a list of things you’re not quite getting right and be sure to go over them in your sessions. Cross off things that have become muscle memory.”

Watch these videos on ollies in this series [VIDEO] make a list of things you’re not quite getting right and be sure to go over them in your sessions. Cross off things that have become muscle memory. In no time you’ll be popping great oliies!! Also just riding my board everywhere and riding over cracks and having fun like that helped me a lot in making my ollies better even if I’m not focused on trying ollies anymore
