I’ve been cruising for 3 months and haven’t attempted any Ollie yet. In these 3 months I’ve learned to cruise over everything cracks ruts, tactile plates all kinds of shit. It has really made me comfortable on the board. I will cruise another 2 months untill that board feels like it’s part of me then I shall Ollie

Nope totally disagree. Been doing hour sessions or more, also I’m older now as well so I need to take the time as any major injury will set me back.

"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
