Most people quit in the gap between riding and the ollie.
There is a stretch in every skater's first year where you can ride fine, you have not landed anything, and the ollie is not coming.
That stretch is where people stop. It is not a skill problem. It is a morale problem. You need a win, and the ollie is not going to give you one for a while.
45% of the skaters we surveyed named frustration as the emotion they feel when they stop progressing. Nearly one in three said they start thinking they are too old and this is not for them. That thought almost always arrives in this exact gap.

Ten tricks that are landable in days, not months.
Thousands of people from all over the world have learned from these videos.
The Yellow Belt exists to get a trick under your feet fast. These are real tricks - they count, they look good, and people at the park do them - but they do not require the pop and timing that make the ollie so brutal. This may be the most important one, because the skaters who land something here are the skaters who are still skating in six months.

“It is very useful. The explanations are really well done and the slow motion frames are fantastic.”

“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.
LEVEL 2
Before you ollie, you need to be able to control your skateboard.
