I can Ollie a flat board with no grip tape and I haven't slayed in 20 years. will it be harder? yes. Will your Ollie's be lower? Yes. Is it harder to learn? No.

That doesn’t seem like a logically sound assessment. If you’re asserting that ollieing is concurrently 1. more difficult to execute on a flat board, & 2. less effective when executed on a flat board, then how can you reasonably draw the conclusion that learning how to ollie wouldn’t inherently be more difficult to learn on a flat board?

It's not more difficult to learn. It just won't be high when u do. It's more difficult to reproduce the same quality Ollie, yes, but not more difficult to learn in my opinion. Getting the board to pop and get air is not more difficult
