I am so grateful for any support you choose to give, financial or emotional! 🙏 I wanted to see how long it would take to learn a particular skill with deliberate practice. I chose skateboarding and set the milestone at a kickflip. I recorded every second of learning and made this video. It took me 5 hours and 47 minutes to land one.

He used to skate, plus I think anyone can do ollie on a couple minutes if you commit enough. All you have to do really is hit the board hard enough. But it's a crappy way to learn if your trying to get good ollies. I wouldn't even count what he was doing as an ollie because he's not doing the proper motions, just hitting the board really really hard.

I understand what you mean, but I found that it was the foot positioning and technique that was holding me back, so I tried learning to Ollie and took me months and I still never had it, I was doing it all wrong so gave up, this weekend I had another go and I found that you need to have you foot right on the top of the tail, the balls of your foot balance on the tip and your front foot is either behind the bolts at the front or further back up to you. It's all one motion so you bend and as you come up pop and slide. I found that doing it rolling helped and then tried doing it faster and worked. I can kind of do it now I think but I busted up my leg bad and can't even walk but can't wait to get back out XD

[@m.castro2999]

*Sigh* This is how you attempt an Ollie: Both feet on the board (obviously), one on top of the tail and the other slightly behind the front bolts (more towards the middle). Hit the tail down and as soon as you feel it touching the ground, slide your front foot towards the nose of the board. Try and find a certain rhythm towards it, makes it easier.

[@ImpatientTurtle]

@@lityfity4197 Have you watched a super slow mo of an ollie? Sounds simple but I really wasnt understanding that you have to jumping and going up before you snap the tail. Meaning I was basically doing them at the same time. Then its all about the toe drag to bring the board with you. After watching a slow mo ollie i did one about an hour later. Mikes skill is his mental game, I think he knew all the mechanics going into it and then had to get his body to do it.

[@tb770]

@@ImpatientTurtle thanks for the comment, i think jumping and then popping right after is the key -- seems counter intuitive so its hard to grasp

Credit carding is when it swipes between your buttcheeks and hits your tailbone, a popsicle is when it replaces your wood with its self.

[@texasbagpiper]

I just picked up skating again at 41 years old. I rode when I was like 8-12 years old and mostly only did ollies foe tricks and stair jumps and a little half pipe riding. After a week back at it I landed my first kick flip last night. I wasn’t coming close to landing it until I decided to lean forward and that was the trick for me. I landed after about 5 more attempts. I attempted again today about 10 times and landed it once. Believe you can do it and you can. Plus there is a ton of info to help that I didn’t have when I was younger. The internet came out around the time I stopped skating.
