Question on practicing the Ollie (skateboard)?

Question

Ok well i have been practicing the ollie for like...2 1/2 weeks now, and i want to know should i ABSOLUTELY PERFECT [Like the pro's] the Ollie before going to any other tricks, or is it ok do try other tricks since i can do a successful ollie about 70% of the time.

Answer 1

Well,im 16 and I can barely do an Ollie but im about 3/4 of the way from finishing a kickflip.The Ollie is not as necessary as the way you pop and how hard.But its always good to get the basics down.

Answer 2

you should do whatever feels comfortable.. maybe try learning pop shuvits, 180's and get comfortable with ollieing while moving and maybe over small objects. and if u want start learning kickflips but i dont recomend learning them just yet. but thats it i hoped that helped.
