Expertise
I have been skateboarding for around 7 years; I have extensive knowledge on street skating, including all sorts of flip tricks, tips on popping higher ollies, grinds, slides, rails, ledges, and park skating including transitions.

Experience
Before you email me asking "how do i kickflip??" you should practice it, what can I do, magically make you learn it? All I can do is give helpful tips, so try to ask serious questions, please. Also, I can and will not sponsor you, so don't bother asking.

Skateboarding - ollie stop

Question
hi! i've just skated for maybe half a year, and have never really benn skating in town, just in our garden. (grass, sand) i can do a lot of tricks like 360 shove-it, and casper, railstands, a lot of freestyle, and i can ollie quite high.(stationary!) but my problem is, that when i'm out skating, and ollie, i stop in the air. I do get a high ollie, but i dont get forward! its a real pain, cuz when i try ollying stairs and off things, my back truck doesn't pass the thing im ollying, and i fall. please help me on this one!

Answer
That's...strange. Never heard of that happening.. but I think you're just not used to the feeling of ollies while moving. Do some ollies on flat while moving and get used to moving your body with the board, then try it down some stairs. That's all I can think to tell you, good luck!
