[sk8ter 58]

Ok I've been sk8tin for a while now but I've been confined to to my driveway. This weekend I'm goin out to a university(college campus) I'm gonna try some stairs for the first time any I think its a 4-5 set any tips on olliing down stairs.

Yeah man, just remember, roll up to them fast, pop and even out, land and roll away. They're really not to hard. Good luck man.

stairs arent hard .. i dont ollie that high over because i still get over them i dont need to but thats what im working on but
just roll up with a lot of speed
and just think about landing it
dont think about falling or bailing or anything
keep your mind on yyour gonna land it
if youve never done a gap as big as a 4-5 then id start with like a 3
or something
but if you have
go right ahead
good luck

just commit to it really. and watch out for the rent-a-cops. ive gotten my name written down and phone number and stuff from skating at stony brook college, you might know it, in girl yeah right gino innuchi does like a switch front nose or something on this steep bank ledge, and then ollies a gap to manual, that's stony brook. they also have these nice 3 blocks.

If it's your first set then you might want to start out on a 3 set. Thats what I did. But hey you can start with a 4 or 5 just get speed, ollie high, and level out. Make sure that when you land you bend you knees.

Well, if its long. Then you're gunna wanna ollie high and sorta bone the ollie. Like get it out in front of you. But try a 2 set, then a three set.

[Dookie416]

relax, you dont need to go do a 2 set, 3 set, whatever, the first set i ever did was a 5.

[StevoElSupremo]

you dont even need to bust a high ollie, just go at it with a fair bit of speed and give a little pop if that feels more comfortable
