K well first of all, I've been doin lots of skating this summer, all starting with learning to ollie... I can now...

ollie 2 decks/ollie up and down curbs
fs/bs 180
pop shuv-it
bomb drop some good sized gaps
errr powerslide? hehe

I've been trying to heelflip... it seems to come easier to me than a kickflip. Sometimes I get a really good rotation, but the board spins slowly and with the nose sticking up too far... tail barely leaves the ground. I'm putting my back foot like an ollie and my front with my heel in the center of the board. I can never land it. help?

I would like to learn to kickflip also... what foot positioning should I be using?

I found a 3 set I'd like to try ollieing down... but I don't know where to start... should I try bomb/acid dropping it first to get the feel of going down a set?

I found a nice smooth curb to 50 50 grind... Don't know where to start/how to learn this one either.

I also need more hight on my ollies... If anyone could offer some help as far as that's concerned, thanks.

Thanks in advance all.

Hey, i'm gonna let everyone else post on all the details and stuff you wanted..

but my advise to you is do what is comfortable and in your range. If you go too beyond your limits it can result badly. Do what you can. some say start big and you'll have everything down by the time you land it.. some say start small so you can avoid injury and will just work at a pace. It's all up to you...

remmeber- HAVE FUN!

Well in that case, I don't think I'm ready for sets... hehe

-foot positioning on heelflips/kickflips
-how to 50-50
-higher ollies
