Stuck on the ollie for months? You skipped this.
Almost everyone starts on the wrong trick. You watched an ollie tutorial on day three - everyone does - and spent months slamming your back foot down on a board you cannot really steer yet.
An ollie is a balance trick. If you cannot hold a straight line, ride comfortably, or turn without looking down, the ollie is not going to happen no matter how many reps you do. 48.8% of the skaters we surveyed have been trying for more than two years - most are not stuck because they are untalented. They are stuck because they skipped this.

“Thanks for this, I couldn't ollie for about 2 months and I was starting to give up. But after I followed these steps I got the ollie down by the following month.”

“I haven't skated in 15 years since high school and I just started getting back into it. I wish I had "Skateboarding Made Simple" back then but its never too late to start skateboarding. I'm loving it, I like the systematic approach to the volumes and been having tons of fun skating again. Thanks Braille team and hopefully these old bones can handle doing tricks again.”

“A great start to get me and my boys into skateboarding together. I'm 41, I've only really cruised around on a longboard off and on for the last 6 or so years. My 7 and 12 year old boys are really into skateboarding and want to learn along with me. I can now do a decent stationary ollie, working on a moving ollie. I highly recommend SMS.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You can. Most people do, and most people get stuck. If you can already kickturn on flat, ride fakie for ten feet, and carve a full turn without putting a foot down, skip ahead. If any of those made you hesitate, this course will save you months.

Before you ollie, you need to be able to actually ride.
