Hey I just started sk8 boarding. I made my own grind box, and im trying to ollie onto it, i olmost got it, and Im also working on my pop shuve its. Only rpoblem is that everytime i ollie or pop shove it my one foot lands on sk8 board and other lands on the ground as like im scared. But Im not lol. Any advice? Has this ever happened to you?
I do, actually you cant really call it skating, maybe more of a pathetic attempt, so sorry i cant give you any advice :(
Well when you bend your knees after you ollie, once the board starts going down, your supposed to unbend them and make it straight while your feet are on the board.
I dont skate anymore though, kinda drifted away from it.
If you've got SKY TV. Id loook on Extreme Sports for a program called 'Tips And Tricks'. They will show you how to do all these types of triks you want to do. Take a look on there if you got it.Good Luck on your bording.
I basically go out skateboarding everyday. If you're going to start skateboarding you're going to fall off atleast once in your life. Don't be scared. :) But the Ollie is very hard to master. I Ollied up a curb yesterday and landed in a weird position on my board and it zoomed off and I fell off sideways. Another is when I was just out skateing a while ago. I done a nollie but didn't time the landing right so I landed on one side of the board so it slipped and zoomed off and I fell sideways again and cut my elbow open. Perhaps its wise to wear elbow pads. :P
Lol.. I hate that. Your on the board and you push it forward it rolls off and you fall backwards smashing your head. I dont like that. Just to say. Today i had a mate round. And we tied skateboard to a back of a pushbike and that was awsome. Also helps you to learn how to stand up without falling off. And sitting downs awsome aswell =].
I used to be able to skate, But now I can barely do it..
Shame I used to be alright at it..
i never triedd.
Check out some of the Rodney Mullen videos on YouTube (Here is on of the best ones - click). He invented most of the tricks we use today such as the Kickflip and Darkslide. :) and the Extreme Sports channel show quite a few skateboarding videos.

I had a go at it when I was 13, I ended up just sitting down on it and going down Hampstead Hill rofl. Hampstead Hill is quite steep and big, got a few grazes from that, worth it though :p
ball of foot + tail of board + other foot 1-2 inches from the front bolts, bend knees, kick tail and jump + slide front foot up to dive down + kick tail again before you land so you don't do a face plant + your done.
It also depends on what stance you are. There is Goofy stance and Regular stance. (I'm Goofy :P) Regular is when you have your right foot at the back and your left foot forward. Goofy is when you have your left foot at the back and your right foot forward. I have trouble Ollieing since I'm Goofy stance and can kick better with my right foot than I can with my left. So its harder, but not impossible.
BMX owns Skateboarding :)
Ive had some pretty bad injurys, like broke my nose, grazed my elbow down to the bone. Stuff like that.
Heres some pics of my bike:
