My first ollie higher than my knees!

[Mr.42]

Well, I thought I was losing my ollies. I was blaming it on my shoes and heavy setup. But then I had a weird revelation thing this weekend. I suddenly had inspiration to try new stuff. I got a box and put it at the end of a trailer and ollied over it. Then I got this big flowerpot and decided to ollie over it. It's definetly the highest ollie I've ever done.

The flowerpot goes to the bottom of my knee cap (I'm 6'), and I'm clearly about a half a pot higher than the thing, so that was officially my first ollie over the height of my knees. And it's the only picture (snapshot) I have that looks sorta boned out.

Check out the little video, too:

Sometime soon, I'll put it on the concrete so that I can roll away.

You can expect a lot more of this kind of stuff, cause I keep getting new ideas all the time.

werd to yer spectrum

That looks nice man. My ollies have gotten 6 to 8 inches higher in the last week, just from getting in the habit rolling my front foot more and sucking my back leg as much as possible. I'm finally gettin the board to stick to my feet as far up as I can bring them, so now I've just been seeing what i can ollie over and practicing different grabs. It's a nice change of pace.

Yeah, I can ollie over stuff knee high, but I'm only like 5'6".

That looks nice man.
Thanks.

I had the music from Terry Kennedy's Baker 3 part in my head. That's probably why I made silly faces at the camera (it was self-filmed).

Ha. I actually have a video of me ollieing off that concrete and landing out of the picture. I just sorta zoom by in the air, hahaha.

Well, as promised, I did it again but on concrete. It wasn't as high, but it's the landing that counts this time.
