My only additional suggestions to help you in your way is to remember sight, sound and feel:-

• Watch

  • How are people doing them in your local skatepark. Who does highest ollies? Who does longest?

  • Can you imagine the movements in your mind’s eye?

  • What is the rhythm of good skaters pop and landing compared to yours?

• Feel

  • can I feel my shoe laces dragging on board?

  • how slowly / quickly am I flicking lead foot?

  • Is my backfoot jumping off toes, ball of foot or heel (popping / snapping)?

  • Am I light footed or heavy footed?

  • Am I tense or relaxed?

• Hear

  • Can you hear your shoelaces dragging up the grip tape?

  • Can you hear a clean snap of the tail?

  • What noise do good skater’s skateboards make compared to yours (the snap (pop), drag and landing).

  • What is the rhythm of good skaters pop and landing compared to yours?
