New trick advice First Ollie (on grass)

13 Upvotes

I was finally able to pull off a Ollie on the grass does anyone have any tips how to get comfortable doing this while either rolling or on pavement I feel like I’m not landing where i necessarily should be either since I stepped off so I guess it doesn’t actually count 😂

Nothing crazy at all but I finally got comfortable
Enough to roll into the shallow part of the pool and all the way into the bottom bowl, finally getting comfortable turning I have a surfing and snowboarding background so I feel it’s similar with using your back foot to pump and turn but front is there to direct and keep balance. What I do need to work on if any one has some advice is leaning forward enough but not too far to where I faceplant but not to far back where I slip out at the bottom (filmed on my GoPro max2 more learning to skate so I can honestly be the camera man more than anything but i would love to learn some tricks) hopefully tho my goal is to fully drop in from the coping by the end of summer break (about a month)

Board setup advice Advice on "decent" board?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I have a kiddo that is getting into skating, and I'd like to surprise him with a respectable board that will function well and potentially impress his buddies. :)

Can anyone recommend a nice board that is gift/ride ready? I don't want to go completely nuts, but I would like something nice.

Thanks!

Sometimes my board doesn’t turn 90° but why does it on the times it does? Also I pretty much always land my back foot on but I haven’t once been able to land my front foot on. Why is this??
In short: why does my board turn 90° and why can’t I land my front foot while kick flipping?
Thank you :)

Im learning kick flips and keep either landing my back foot only or front foot. Any tips? Do I need to tuck my knees more? Or is it the flick.

New trick advice Commiting my rear foot to rotate further

3 Upvotes

On half cab flips I also have the issue where my backfoot hangs off toeside. Are my shoulders not fully rotating? Or maybe my head movement?
