Ollie and fear?

Question

I am just getting into skateboarding and I'm afraid that I'm gonna fall when I try to learn to do tricks. I want to be able to ollie. Most people recomend the ollie as the first trick to learn. I put my skateboard on my lawn and try to ollie. I can't seem to get my back wheels off the ground. Also, if I try to do it on concrete while going, I fall forward. IF you are a skateboarder, plz help me. How did you learn how to ollie. tHANX

Answer 2

ONce you overcome your fear you will be able to skate alot better! Skating is 55% physical and 45% mental. But after you fail and fall a few times you will notice that it dont hurt as much as you think. Plus you are in the grass which makes it harder to do the tricks but it also make there less fear bc the soft surface under you. But I just recomend practicing on the concrete and keep on trying until you get it.

Answer 3

first get rid of your fear and you will be 80% there.
