What skaters said on Reddit
A while back I asked for help on ollieing and you guys helped me, so here is proof of you help. I caught it on video because I would watch them to see what went wrong. Thank you very much Knight203 for that great video [VIDEO], it really helped a me out. I know its suckish but its my *very first one*...so cut me some slack hahaha. Thanks Reddit!
A full month of trying every single day. Board quality doesn't matter honestly, I learned on a wal-mart board. Just keep trying you will get it. Watch some youtube videos. This is a good one [VIDEO] Aronl has a TON of good tips and how to videos once you start learning more things.
Yup, this is an important skate hack. Works with all ollie based tricks. I like the way OP phrased it, but another way of looking at it is that **you need to have your weight distributed correctly when you pop or else the board won't stick to your front foot well.** I try to get the board weightless and sticking to my front foot by having my center of gravity more over my front foot when I pop and jump. Rad Rat on youtube really understands the technical side of skateboarding (although unlike him I pop most of my tricks with my foot in the pocket). Check out this video on the ollie, but the weight distribution tips will improve all of your tricks: [VIDEO]
