Nice drawing man ahaha definitely something unique. For the ollie, you're just stomping your front foot down after sliding. But what you might now know is after the slide, is the SLIDE. It's something you have to get used to, but after you slide you keep on sliding until your front foot barely is on the board. That in combination with raising your back foot and bending your knees will what get you height. This video

Oh and after my first session my lower back hurt a lot the next day (I guess since it's new for my body and jumping put a lot of stress on my lower back?). Just in case the same happens to you too and you're wondering. You'll wear down your

I don't have a lot of good advice for ollieing higher, but I've found that focusing the energy in my calf muscles and ankles, and making it a quick snap gets them higher than just jumping with my hamstrings if that makes sense. This Spencer Nuzzi video is a good way to learn how to go higher too: [VIDEO] As far as 180s go, I wouldn't wait at all. Just learning the motion and how to do them is good, and then you can w
