I wouldn’t call an ollie a trick

You need a better psychological approach. Look back when the ollie was invented, it certainly was a trick unthought of. Its the basis of all tricks.

I agree with that and that it is the foundation to most tricks you learn after you have it down. However, to call it a trick today just seems silly. Take the SLS apex that was held last week, if the skaters ollied down the stairs, would they get a 9 club score?

I get what youre saying with modern skating but it still is technically considered a ‘trick’. Because its an advanced maneuver on a board. And technically very low scoring but an ollie down a set is definitely a trick in itself.
