simple physics seeing as you're 50 cm (what i used) over the ground at the top of your ollie means you'll land in 0.34 seconds pretty much, if you keep your legs up there. (Position derived from constant gravity acceleration = 0,5 * Gravity Acc. * t^2). problably 2.5 meters to go or so if you wanna clear the grass. That means you need to go 7.35 m/s or 26.4 km/h to help the americans here, that's 16.40 miles/h defini

God I love this park, it's not too far from me; I'm pretty sure I'm going on Sunday, haha. If you liked this video, I'm sure you'll like this one [VIDEO] too.
