Question
Hi. I have a lot of trouble ollie-ing while moving. I know it has to do with shifting and balancing your weight but I have no clue how to do it. Help me. Thanks.

Answer
Can you ollie at all, like in grass? You should learn it there, or on carpet first. Get the technique down without fear of falling. Then try it while moving, it will come a lottttt easier. If you need tips on how to perform ollies, let me know. Good luck.

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.
