how do i clear bigger tabletops?? i can only do this over a small 3ft tabletop. i see some people clear 8ft tops and when i try it i can only get like halfway?i start from the same spot as them and try to go as fast as i can and ollie as high as i can but it seems like it never goes anywhere. do i just need to work on my ollies or maybe timing off the top the ramp, i can already ollie 3 decks on flatground.

i'm pretty sure that 3 decks and 8 feet are not equal. I'm positive nobody has ollied oveer a 8' table. The ones they do in videos are small as crap.

i think he means a pyramid type thing, basically just go faster and keep your knees bent the whole time, dont expect everything quickly, have fun and keep at it.

yeah dude its called a pyramid not a tabletop. just go as fast as you can. you might think your going as fast as those other guys, but chances are that you arent.

pump with it. crouch down when u hit it and just launch upwards when ure pretty close to the end and follow through like an ollie and bend ure knees up to ure chest.. make sure u go pretty fast and try to extend ure legs outwards for more style :D
