Yeah seeing their frustration at the first few attempts I’m dreading trying to teach myself.
Agreed about getting more control and balance, I watched this video https://youtu.be/M0Z-_fZaM8E?si=PJSvUI5kprxF2uUo
And think I’ll show them too as it’s much more about being confident on their board and if they can gain that confidence then learning to ollie should come easier, down the line..
Also means I can head off the frustration by getting them to learn to control and balance on their board better.

Ollieing is just really fucking hard. Took me weeks when I was like 14, on grass, or with wheels tightened (awful) etc. The thing I did wrong was try to ollie too early when I should’ve been carving and getting more control and balance, then tricks come much more naturally.
But I also know how hard it is to tell a kid to be patient!
