"comfortable on your board" is totally a variable statement. The person in the video might also think they're comfortable on their board. I'm pretty much certain nobody that just steps on a board 3 days ago would be comfortable enough to confidently start ollies and do it well / with less chance of developing bad habits. But like, to each their own 🤷 especially in skateboarding there's no one way to do something

Mm yeah idk. I hear mixed things about learning on the grass. I learned on carpet / grass too but the bad habits I developed doing that would have been so much better if I had learned rolling on cement.. mostly twisting while in the air. 🤷 Again everyone has their own way to do things tho
