Ollie Higher

First of all you need to be able to Ollie a deck or 8+ Inches. If you can't then this might help you but not as much. Just remember to practice.
One of the most important things is timing. A lot of people can Ollie higher then they can Ollie on decks or hockey sticks. The thing is that your highest point of your Ollie isn't right over top of the target.  A good thing to do is get a friend and do a normal Ollie over whatever you like. Ask him/her to tell you when your highest point of your Ollie is. If your highest point is before your target then go faster or Ollie later. If your highest is past your target this means that you should go slower or Ollie earlier. This is really important tip. If everyone could read they would all improve there Ollie skills!
Ok now first of all the pop- It should sound really clean and it should be as quick as possible. The quicker the better. Foot should be at the end of the tail the very tip of it. When you pop and start to drag your drag shouldn't make you go a lot higher but it should make you go 3 inches higher. IT depends on your pop if you board is vertical than it should be half the height of your board in the air. When you pop you board should come up, you shouldn't force it up. When you have to drag to get it higher that means your pop isn't good enough. The board should be forcing you to go upward it should be coming straight up. You should feel the board after you pop because it should be pushing upward on your feet. When you drag you should be leveling your board up. Tip- Have you ever seen a Ollie competition. Notice how much the people tuck up. It is almost like you sitting on the edge of your board you should be able to grab and Indy when your in the air. Most important, always start small and practice to Ollie higher. Start out by Olliing decks or bricks or onto curbs when you can do that try to stack up decks to make 2 decks or Ollie onto ledges about that height. The pop is where your Ollie comes from. It should be quick and you should be hearing a snap sound. Try Ollie off of stairs or ledges that you think you can do. If it seems way to hard and you can't then don't but if you have any doubt that you can then try it.

Ollie Down Stairs 

This is pretty easy but if you are a beginner and don't have good board control or very solid Ollie you might end up falling a lot. Start with a curb if you haven't done that before. Then try to find a 2 set. (Set is what you call a stair case in stead of ten stairs you say 10 set). If you can't find a 2 set try to find a 3 or 4. When you start your set won't be too high or long so you don't need much speed and you have almost no chance of hurting yourself. As soon as you start going to 6 and higher sets you will start to need speed. When you land try to keep your weight on your back truck. Try to land with both feet over there trucks. That way your landing is cleaner smoother and you don't break your board. Sets are a lot easier than gaps. You know if you have done a 6 a 7 is only 6 inches or so higher. If you have a gap you have no way to think of how big it is compared to another set. You have to guess.

Asking Someone for a Date 


It seems simple enough, but it can be the most difficult part of a date...So what do you do?

Biggest clue: THINK AHEAD

You don't want to be standing there going, "Um, ah." when the object of your affection says "Yes." 
You can't just looked stunned and be too shocked to utter the next sentence.  You can't wait for that very moment to try to think of what on earth you can do on a date.  You need a more impressive beginning.
If you're at the start of a relationship or asking for a first date, take the pressure off by not using the "D" word.  Don't ask for a "Date" and don't call it a "Date."  If you're uncomfortable saying, "Would you like to go out with me." Then don't say it. 
Make it casual. But (just a reminder) THINK AHEAD. 
Make it specific.  

First - two deadly questions NOT to ask:
Do not ask, "You want to go out?" it's too open-ended and can lead to awkward follow up conversation. Do not ask, "What are you doing Friday night?" It's too vague. It may leave your potential date wondering exactly what you have in mind. The other person doesn't know if you're just curious about what she/he is doing on Friday night or if you want to do something with them... 
Try something along the lines of: 
"You like to rollerblade? I was thinking of going out to the lake on Saturday. It's great out there. Would you like to go with me?"
Or if you're really uncertain or uncomfortable about getting together - go with a group.
Ask the question:  "Hey, there're a bunch of us going bowling on Saturday. Would you like to go?" 
The operative word here is "us." It immediately takes the pressure off.
