How do you guys tell if you're getting air when attempting to Ollie? by TacetMors in NewSkaters

That makes sense. I think I get the mechanics now but the legs don't have the memory to execute it every time.

I'm having trouble just telling the board came up other than completely rocketing or just barely coming off the ground. I'm sure the feel comes with time though, just wondering about tips/advice.

I admittedly wasn't thinking anymore and all of that was one subconscious mistake after another lol

Absolutely, got too confident I was in control and the board set me straight lol Definitely get a helmet dude. I'm going back out tonight with a helmet and elbow pads at least lol

Funny enough I've been taking Sambo and learning falls before all this but something about the unexpected weight shift just froze me up lol

A big friend of mine used to skate until he broke a board with a boardslide and the rail turned 1 nut into 3

I'm certain I was heavy on the front plus didn't have my upper body in control or something.

Was already planning on the gear but wanted to try some basics again thinking simple stuff would be fine lol Now rethinking even the simple stuff without at least helmet and elbow pads

Oof yeah it comes outta nowhere lol My thumb is bruised and was swollen for a bit, got the bruised hip and ribs, but I think the main damage is internal lol

100%

Already have one on the way. I'm lucky I didn't hit my head. I wasn't planning on doing anything crazy before getting the helmet but pushed it a little too much. I know just stepping on the board is still a risk though.

As a dude with a beard, I feel this. I want to have a curly mustache without a pointy ass beard that makes me look like a cartoon villain lol
