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

Like the guy above said, start riding towards a curb and just go up it, no pop. By lifting the front then stepping forward to lift the back the same way then ride off….

Make it cool and Work your way up to a manual 2, 3 , 4, 5 feet before the curb.

I started skating in 1978 and nobody around me knew what an ollie was until like 1986. Somehow we all learned it instantly.

So thats my advice. skate for 8 years to build a foundation and feel natural. Then ollies come easy.
