In true honesty, I forgot about this site. But when I did remember, I couldn't be bothered with it :0 Kill me. Nothing has really happened. I revised for my exams, but most probablly failed them all. I got ill. I went on holiday. Dressed up as a fairy with 9 of my other friends and we went into town. Had my hair cut/re-dyed. Bought my family's

How to Ollie

[spooneh]

The first thing with an ollie is to be relaxed and smooth. When you're feeling relaxed and smooth stand on your board with one foot on the kick and one foot in the exact middle of the board. (Try this trick stationary first then add motion later). Then with your back leg jam down the kick.
This should put all the wheels of the board into the air momentarily. As soon as you do this drag your front foot up the board. Using the front kick to "catch" your front foot is a great idea and will give you extra height. For a good part of the ollie only the front foot should be in contact with the board. When you come to the peak of your ollie shift your weight equally on both feet in preparation for the landing. Land, bend at the knees and ride away. Does that help?

That does make sense, but I highly doubt if I'd actually be able to do it. Thank you, I'll practice that. ^_^
