What next?

[eRraGe]

ok so i can ollie 1/2 an inch - because i have a $20 complete maple deck...
i can shove it stationary
i can penguin walk - or w/e its called moving without pushing off
i can manual
i can go off ledges without ollieng

i dont have any money -- i can wait till my b day and get money get a better deck but im worried bout now.

what should i do / learn please reply.:-14: :-14:

[greenfilth]

learn to ollie higher, learn to pop shuvit.. alot of things try 180 ollies and kickflip

[af1 1982]

never learn tricks stationary, esp shove its. Do moving shoveits, its not you deck that is making you ollie 1/2 an inch, its you. Do fs shoveits, and fs and bs 180s. Then move on the kickflip and heelflips.

[eRraGe]

welll when i pop it with out being on it it doesnt go off the ground - i think its the board..

thx for the tips

Steppin on the tail to make the nose lift off the ground is not 'popping' the board.

[eRraGe]

ok... any advice?

thats exactly what i was going to say.

its you. i can do anything on a piece of crap walmart board that i can on a pro board.

[eRraGe]

probably cus i cant jump and i barely slide my foot.

[CopsPushMongo]

dont blame your board for stuff just practice alot

[eRraGe]

heres the reasons i have to blame my board
1. it was in water for like 2 minutes,
2. its all messed up with cracks in it
3. it cant pop worth .....
and my friend who can ollie on his board good can barely ollie on this,

[skizzate]

Still, it's you. Just keep practicing everything, learn to ollie better regardless of your board, front and back 180's etc. Also get really comfortable on your board. It will help out in the long run and will greatly increase your abilities over time. If your barely pushing around, trying kickflips and shit, that's just going to stunt your skateboarding growth and advancement.

skating is not about how good your board is. i can go on a piece of crap deck and still ollie decently. but having a good board does definately help, but practice will help u alot more than any "good board" ever will.i went from not being able to ollie up a curb or do a two stair to being able to ollie up 2 stairs and down 4 in like a couple of months. i still cannot kickflip and i have been trying for 2 years. point is, having a good board won't make u skate any better, all a good board will do is give u incentive to skateboard more.

does your grip tape have grip?

[eRraGe]

yes.. its just i cant do the motions fast enough :(

[AdioGuy]

as for what next, you should try applying those tricks you do have to different objects. like curbs and ledges and stuff. op, on to, on mini ramps. just make sure you're comfortable doing them. you know what i mean? and start small too.

[eRraGe]

my friend he has alot of skateboarding stuff, fun box, table top, a spine and i'm just trying to do stuff on that stuff

[bucksaw87]

work on nose manuals, maybe some stylish flatland moves. also work on combo'ing lines...kickflip>manual>180 ollie>nose manual>casper flip stuff like that

[eRraGe]

ok, well what i'm trying to do now is go up a ramp which leads onto a fun box and when i get on it manual all the way across and land with a manual, - soon to be tryin nose manual
ill try your idea, which i thought of one, go up a table top, go down and then go on the quarter pipe, then go up on the fun box manual off, repeat,

is this a taple top? it goes like this
/''''''\ go up then down

Quarter .(l............./'''''\TableTop
Pipe .....(l............./'''''''Fun box
with ramp to get up

Tabletop to quarter to funBox repeat

pretend the .'s arn't there, i couldn't do more than 1 space

(l
(l = QuarterPipe
/'''''\=Tabletop
/''''''=Fun box I added a ramp to get up onto it since i can't ollie high enough
