long time no update
July 25th, 2007
well, it has been a while since I updated- sorry about that! I have been busy doing a lot of things and neglected to update. I’ll post some pics and videos then!
here’s a bruise:
here’s the board:
here’s a pretty typical ollie- as you can see I don’t slide my front foot forward enough to bring the tail all the way up horizoontal. another thing I’m dealing with is the board turning during the ollie. makes it harder to do rolling ollies. I am working that out. anyway here is a typical ollie:
and here is a more successfull ollie - over the huge obstacle of a turned over Gatorade bottle. If you look REAL close you can see the Gatorade bottle.
and if you look even closer you can tell that I cheated and didn’t actually go OVER the bottle, just NEAR it. I was afraid of landing on the thing and slamming. I am still a wuss, but I’m trying dammit.

You could’ve fooled me with that Gatorade ollie. You can totally do it if you want to. A mental trick that I play with myself on many tricks is to convince myself that I have already done it. I visualize what it feels like and “feel” what it feels like, and how happy I am that I can do the trick. It works…try it. The wost thing that could happen is that your wheels clip it, then you fall forward…not a big deal. You can do it!
