Just as the topic says...
 
For me, it's been about 2 months...  I can nail Ollie's w/o moving easily but I'm still inconsistent while riding...
A deck, fitted, and fresh new kicks...

on the wakeskate it took me a few good weeks before i got it.  I spent more time wakeboarding and didn't put much into wakeskating.... untill i got the ollie down then i was having fun just jumping.

As far as skateboarding... i got nothin

It took me almost 2 weeks before I got it.  But once you get your first ollie they become very easy very quick.  The ollie took me longer to learn than any other do-able flat ground trick.

hey instead of dragging your foot on the board, lift your foot almost straight up and that will pull the board off the ground, then straighten it back out.
 
It took me like a week to get it moving cuz I learned it moving, not just sitting there!

3 years and im still having problems with it
cause youll never get it to where you want it to be.
you want it higher, more steez, etc
so youll never master it
you can do it, but never have it down.

I smoke 2 joints in the morning, I smoke 2 joints at night
I smoke 2 joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel allright.

took me a few months to actually get it right.. more of it was mental.. using other peoples instruction as a guideline then taking what they said and adapting it to me.. so that i was comfortable with it.. cause everyone has their own style and it seems like if you ignore what everyone else is saying and just do it.. it feels more.. right.. i dont know.. im rambling.. does this make sense?

It's a basic, which means it's a trick you need to know how to do, to set any other tricks, so yeah.. it's a great trick for beginners !

~ Took me about a year, coz i wasnt really motivated to fail all day.
