YO!

I give a big YO! to my readers out there. First of all, I'm amazed i got this far, I never thought I'd be able to have a blog which could last this long. So, I'm certainly very pleased with myself and my readers.

Secondly, I'm learning how to ollie on a skateboard, which means, making the board jump up with you I know all the steps and why they should be done. I just can't do it. I need practice, and this is really hard, oh well, everyone has to face challenges in learning something. I hope I can go pro someday so I can LCLY. LOL. Joking.

Third, I'm going out tomorow, and I'm really excited. I don't feel like sleeping, so I started posting. Supernatural Season 4 is OK I guess. Although, I gotta say, I like the old Ruby better than the new one. The old Ruby was portrayed by an actress named Katie Cassidy. XD. Season 4 is OK, but not as good as Season 3.

Fourth, I finished the campaign of Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 100%. I know I mentioned this in Facebook, but I thought maybe some of the readers didn't invite me on Facebook, which is very unlikely, but, just in case. I like to spread good news around. Well, my good news.

Fifth, after seeing the upper part of this post, you can just turn around. Cuz' this part is all about the ollie. So, if ur not intrested in skateboarding, you can leave. This is a through guide from me, even though I can't do it, I can explain in detail as I spend most of my time watching videos from Youtube and going on Google to look for ways.

Steps to the ollie is easy, it's just three different steps:
1)You pop the board- You slam your back foot on the tail of the ground making the upper part of the skateboard in the air.
2)You jump
3) You slide your front foot forward.
Now, this is soooo easy, anybody can do that!!! So, why do beginners have problems doing it? Well, the key to this trick is TIMING! Timing timing timing. When you pop the board, you have to make sure that you jump and the same time, then slide your front foot forward, all these have to be none in mere seconds. That's why it's hard.

Anyways, bout the foot position-ing. You notice ur board has 4 bolts on the front and back? Well, your front feet should be around the middle of the board. And your back feet should be at the tip of your board's tail, that way, you can slam it down.

Now, you might ask, why should we slide the front foot up? Those it has anything to do with jumping? Well, yes! Most skaters think it's just to level the board up, true, but there's another reason. As you slide your front foot up, you're actually pulling ur board up into the air by using friction.

The landing, just simply bemd your knees to avoid the impact. Ollying may sound easy, but it's the hardest trick every beginner has to endure. You can't call yourself a regular before you learn this trick. And I'm still learning! That's all for now. Bbye!
