New ollie discovery.

[spitfiretires91]

Okay, I am so excited because last night I landed my first ollie. There are a couple of things that a friend showed me that I never heard when trying to learn from the internet. He said to put all your weight on your front foot, somewhere between the bolts, and put your back foot on the tip of the tail. Then, he said to shift all of your weight to your back foot to snap it down, whereas every guide I ever read said to just kick the back down, which is harder. I realised what my problem was, and it was that I was fighting my back foot with my front foot, trying to equalise my weight over each foot. Keep in mind, my ollie wasn't very high, and I only got 1, but it made me feel on top of the world. Hope this helps anyone with troubles.
