I spent years (on and off) not being able to Ollie on or over things for the fear - and my rolling Ollies would happen maybe 3/10 times and I'd bend down for like 10 seconds before my mind could get my legs to physically do the moment - ​ But I recently got it so a tip from me would be focusing on each part of the trick in real time as its happening. Don't expect to just press the Go button in your head, do the movem

So....just keep skating then, yeah? You may want to check out this interviewwith Andrew Huberman [VIDEO], a skateboarder who happens to be a neurologist. I am not saying that repetition doesn't help or make skateboarding easier, but you're kidding yourself if you think "muscle memory" is anything other than a convenient way to say, "practice makes perfect." (Edited to fix link.)
