Question

Hey, I'm trying to learn an ollie on a skateboard. I can bearly do one, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me? My deck is pretty thrashed...would that effect it in any way? =/

Answer 1

umn... yeah?

if your deck is really old.. and the kick is really short and stubby... its gonna be really quite hard...

and if truck all loose and whobbly it wil be just to stand on it to begin with, least ollie on it.

actually pop shuvit is easier than ollie. try that first.

Answer 2

Yea i would buy a new deck because when i first learned and i was on a old skateboard i fell on my *** trying to do an ollie lol. But i bought a new one and i landed it.
