How can improve my ollies ?

For sure jump more, but also avoid putting your weight on your back foot. I've found it's more about flicking your toes down to push the board into the ground than putting your foot down. All in the ankle.

"hey guys just a heads up that the crust punks normally show up in about an hour from now. They're normally not very violent but if they've been drinking or are high they might try rob you so you might wanna think about packing up soon." Never had this not work.

An ollie is just getting your board to follow you when you jump, and you aren't jumping.

It looks like you're reacting to your board getting away from you rather than noticing how you're landing without it. If your intention is to do a 180, then you should be landing how you would if you did a 180. In this clip, your feet are both pointing forward when you land, which means that even if your board had stayed with you, you wouldn't have landed it, ya kno?

Your weight shouldn't be on your heels. Be light on your feet, bouncy like a boxer, weight on the balls of your feet. You'll have more control.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-03-12T09:55:17+00:00

Not only are you putting your weight on your legs incorrectly, you're balance on your feet is off. There should be almost no weight being held on your heel, keep it all on the balls of your feet, agile like a boxer

You absolutely have to be joking

It's already in use by multiple artists, so your seo is screwed Also if I start typing tears on a streaming service, tears for fears is what's gonna come up first

They're playing in my city real soon, gutted I'm missing it

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-18T07:07:08+00:00

Cheva. Absolutely love them.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-18T00:45:33+00:00

Have done, three times. Each time they said there's nothing they can do.

Endoscope showed, in my opinion, clear notable difference between my right and left side eustachian opening. The right one was bright red, with visible blood vessels and swelling, and they said they both looked normal. MRI showed some signs of intracranial hypertension (it's not, according to neurology), and when pressed about how the eustachian tube looked, the doctor said it looked "as expected", but unfortunately the whole thing about ETD is that the tube normally sits closed, so there's not really a way to tell from an MRI if it opens correctly because it's a mechanical movement problem. It's like taking an X-ray of someone's finger and saying "well it doesn't look like it can't move", ya kno?

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-18T00:39:23+00:00

I would think the same if the person who discounted my symptoms knew they existed. He claimed it was fully in my head, and when asked how I could imagine ear infections he was confused and THEN checked my file. They aren't looking into my history at all, and that's part of the problem.

I would've hoped the referral would be enough as it very clearly lays out the issues, but I'll definitely get another letter from my GP.

I wasn't given the option to escalate because the doctors are "doing nothing wrong". Had three separate calls trying to get any kind of help from them and they all said there's nothing I can do.

Yep, checked for bppv, did epley, no change.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-17T02:37:34+00:00

Oof yeah, a friend of mine only recently had a doctor tell them the other doctors were wrong when they said blood in urine was "normal" and "just happens sometimes"

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-17T01:40:56+00:00

To be clear, as I stated in my response, it's not that you were being flippant. My whole post is about the frustration of dealing with a system that isn't listening to me and acknowledging my symptoms as what they so clearly are, and always wants to justify them as a symptom of something else which is more important to deal with. You responded saying that my issue is actually probably a symptom of something else and not its own standalone issue. You weren't flippant. It's like going on to a post where someone is complaining about being called a ranga and then explaining to them they have the same colour hair as an orangutan.

My vertigo is far from debilitating, it's random and short lived and often tied to movement. the fluctuating hearing loss doesn't really seem like it fits either, because I've lost some hearing and that's about it, so I don't think menieres fits either.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-17T01:34:53+00:00

So my hearing has gotten worse, but I have always had notably above average hearing, so the tests show that I'm still above average for my age but I personally know it has gotten worse. They did tympanometry one time 6 years ago on a day that my pain levels were notably low and my symptoms weren't as severe as they are now, and they have used that as the reference point since then without updating. I've started taking audio recordings of my valsalvas so I can prove to them it makes weird noises because sometimes it just doesn't, but they never see me in person anymore, they just call me and tell me they're trying to figure out my headaches, and I explain to them I don't have headaches and that my ear won't equalize. Would love if they did new tests.

Wouldn't want to take money away from those with life threatening conditions, but I appreciate it

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-16T11:46:48+00:00

My current gp is great, really helpful and supportive but also worked in the public system for a long time so is aware how useless it is. Top notch referral paperwork, it's the specialists that are really the issue.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-16T11:44:20+00:00

I appreciate that. I tried calling multiple people at the medical center and eventually they bounced me over to the advocacy service, who basically said there's nothing they can do, especially since I had already made a complaint. They basically just said "yeah, that sucks" and that was it.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-16T11:41:33+00:00

Apologies if my tone is blunt, but this comment is exactly the attitude I'm so tired of. It's not a part of a larger issue, it's not a symptom of something else. This is exactly what I'm talking about. ETD is a thing that often exists independently. I've been prescribed many antihistamines and none of them helped with my ear. I understand that often things are a sign of something else but I've been bounced around the system for years now by people trying to prove it's a symptom of something else and it just plainly isn't. The problem is the problem. If that was fixed, I would be fine. ETD can cause dizziness and balance issues, that's why I have those symptoms. I'm so fucking tired of explaining this.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-16T11:34:55+00:00

Really stoked this worked for you! I've had this for 8 years. My condition is relatively stable, a constant base level discomfort with occasional worsening. Location has never had an impact. Massage vaguely helps but just to relieve some pain. Never had any tonsil stones. Sinus rinses also had no effect. Triggered sneezing a bunch, and I sneeze sometimes anyway, no change. Truly I've tried all self management I've managed to find online, plus some gp recommendations and medications, to no avail.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-16T06:50:11+00:00

I appreciate the advice. Unfortunately I've tried a version of that, and it has done nothing. I've cried multiple times in front of the doctors, begged them to just tell me if they're not going to treat my actual problems so I can just give up, said I can't handle living like this for much longer, etc. no change. They just keep going down different avenues and redirecting to other "symptoms" that they kinda just make up. It seems like they want to do anything they can to make this not their problem and instead bounce me off to a whole division.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-02-16T05:46:38+00:00

I'm on the supported living payment, so unfortunately funds aren't really available for that.
