Posted: Oct 08, 2003 8:24 am Post subject: Really weird thing about olliing! |
|
|
I practiced my ollie yesterday, because I still suck at doing them... The weird thig is, I'm goofy, but I get WAY more air when I ollie switch than when I ollie regular? What the hell is wrong? It seems my timing is better when I'm standing switch on the bioard than when I'm standing normally (goofy)...
Anyone had this problem?
Oh and also, I'm goofy wakeboard and snowboarding, so I don't think it's because I'm naturally regular... When I get pushed in the back, it's also my right foot that goes forward, so I'm a goofy...
Help anyone? _________________ Now even tough I know there's NO one in here that lives anywhere near Montréal, if you ever feel like riding, just pm/e-mail/msn/whatever else me |

I have your same problem. The best you can do is just keep practicing with ollies regular, you eventually get better and you just learn to skate along normally. I think my problem happened because when i was younger i used to have a board and i would skate along reular/mongo and i would try ollies like that but i dunno. _________________

Could be that you are better and making a backwards ollie motion with your legs from something you do wakeboarding or snowboarding. I never had the problem you do, but now I can ollie just as high switch anyways, and nollie and fakie ollie even higher. |
