My Goal for the Summer

for the summer my goal is to learn how to "Ollie" properly on a skateboard, an learn some new tricks as well.
an ollie is a jump performed with the skateboard in which the skateboard  "jumps" with you, it is the basic trick that is needed to perform most other ones
in terms of my current skateboarding expertise, i think i am very good at riding around, considering that is the only thing i can do, i should be good at it. previously i could do very mediocre and amateur Ollies, and i would land them very rarely. i tried to an Ollie recently and failed miserably because i have completely forgotten how to do it, so resolved to teach myself how to ollie again, and from there learn some tricks as well.
