Ollie higher

Saturday February 9, 2008
How to Ollie HigherCome on, people! It's time to take those ollies seriously! No more of these wimpy little ollies measured in quarters-or-an-inch! It's time to get off the ground! Read How Can I Make My Ollies Higher and get those wheels in the AIR! Really, it's not as hard as it might seem - it just takes practice, determination, and DOING IT! And if this blog with SEVEN EXCLAMATION POINTS doesn't inspire you to get out there ollie higher, then maybe I should add an eighth one!

Seriously, I've been getting a lot of e-mails about ollying higher. Apparently it's ollie-season. I guess that makes sense, since you can practice in your living room even if it's snowing outside. Whatever the reason, the winter is no excuse for letting your skateboarding skills sag into a limp and lifeless mess. Go ollie! Ollie higher! Booya!
