Nooby Skater.

[StringSteeze]

Alright, I just got my skateboard yesterday. In 6th grade I started and skated for about a month, then quickly lost interest.. mostly because my deck broke and I didn't want to buy another. Now that I am older, and willing to stick to something, I need some advice. I have a lot of determination, and I don't give up easily (unless I break a bone.. then I take a break). I have a few questions though.
How long do any of you think it would take me to get a solid, high Ollie down. Tell me from experience. Consider Hours of practice, because I'm willing to practice a lot. I'm really just focused on the basics now, and later on, I want to learn some harder things. So tell me, what do I have to do to get an Ollie down packed?

[Jolly Rock]

practice man. just practice. it really depends on the person though. some people it can take 5 months, some a year and i've known someone who didn't get a good solid ollie for about 2 and a half years. so just practice man. that's all you can do.

[falloffboy101]

I'm still working on my ollie, so once you get it pretty high I, personally, would start going for some other tricks.

i can ollie about 1 and 1/2 to 2 feet tall... not that great but ive only been doing ollies for 6 months

[StringSteeze]

did you practice a lot? cuz as of now, I can do a tiny one...

[Jakethief]

well i dont know exactly how high it is, i cat measure it, it probably isnt that... and ive been doing one for about 6 months

[Grinding God]

Currently I can ollie 2- 3 feet.(got my brother to measure me lol) I was about 14 when I got my first, solid ollie without thinking.
I've been skating for 10 years 2 months.

P.S. I practice every day for about an hour

[Jakethief]

holy hell that is a long time

[bladder control]

I can ollie about 2-3 feet in the air, depends on the day. It took me a year to learn how to, and I landed it completely on accident. I've been skating 5 1/2 years, and I just got over 90-itis recently.

[danielb]

I had my solid ollie down after 8 months I can ollie 1 1/2 to 2 feet

I practiced an hour and a galf on weekdays and on holidays and weekends usally 3 hour to 2 and a half hpurs if it isnt raining

[crypticpoet]

Can we measure these "feet" in decks? Because we don't really use that kind of measurement over here.

I can ollie two decks with a bit of air, flatland. I started working on other tricks when I could ollie one deck.

[danielb]

fine like 2 1/2 decks..

[zoo_yorker_rep']

can only ollie 1 deck owell

[pop38]

One deck for me.

[Ree123]

you will probably get bored if thats alll you do, once its high enough try some tricks

[ChristianRocker]

yeah it does get boring but then you land one and your like, im on top of the world

[crazy_dave]

I've been skating just over 3 years, highest is about 4 and a half decks,although i've ollied up a wall higher than that. To get my ollies nice, clean and level took me around 6 months.

[chandler_b]

i can clear three, cleanly and land, but havent pulled any tricks over it. i made it over 4 with some room today but the landing was off, its just time and practice :)
