I love skateboarding. I still have dozens upon dozens of old skateboarding and surfing magazines. Why do I still have them you ask? How can I give up on my childhood and my experiences of youth. Shred is such a cool word to me. The word borders on havoc by tearing up something without tearing up anything. You can shred on both Skateboarding and Surfing. Usually when someone is "shredding" they are in the zone or making the desired move with such precision.
Today, I want to talk about the "Ollie". You say what the heck is an "Ollie". The "Ollie" move was thought up by a man by the name of Alan "Ollie" Gelfand. Rodney Mullen introduced it into flatland skating. What makes an "Ollie" so cool in flatland skating is the ability is to get the rider and the board into the air to jump onto objects or "clear" over obstacles.
Jump Starter
When I was younger I didn't grasp why people kept telling me to learn the "Ollie" move to help my progression towards making me a better skateboarded. In the 80s, my friends and I thought sliding and going up half pipes was the only way to skate. Well, the "Ollie" is the move to open the door to a multitude of tricks and grinds.
To do an "Ollie" you must first make sure you have your helmet and safety gear on. The next tip for the ollie is to practice the general movement of the ollie. If you can visualize yourself doing this skateboard trick, you will learn even faster.
You will want to imagine yourself slamming the tail down onto the pavement with your back foot. Then, see yourself jumping up as your bring your front foot up towards the front of your board. Lastly, you will want to picture yourself evening the board and landing with both feet near the bolts.
If you can visualize yourself doing the ollie, you should go ahead and attempt it.
Once you have practiced for about 7 days, you will find that you are getting the steps down, but having a hard time bringing the skateboard up. If you are finding that this is a problem for you follow these skateboard trick tips:
Don't squat too far down. You need your balance to jump properly.
Once you have slammed the tail down, quickly bring your legs up.
Make sure you remain centered over your board so that you can target your land.
Don't give up on learning this trick. As this trick is the base of alot of other tricks you will be able to do.
Personally, without the "Ollie" skateboard would not be what it is today.

Schumacher SSC-1500A Ship 'n Shore SpeedCharge Charger with included 75-amp battery clamps Overview
This speed charger charges 12-volt batteries in less time than conventional chargers. It has a built-in microprocessor which senses battery and charging system status, adjusts charge rates, automatically shuts off when full charge is achieved, and diagnoses problems. The 15-amp fast charger monitors battery condition and adjusts the charge rate to prevent battery damage. It is ideal for car, truck, marine, RV, farm equipment, AGM, gel cell, and deep-cycle batteries. The 10-amp fast charger has a self-adjusting charge rate for everyday charging needs which keeps your battery in peak condition. The 2-amp slow charger charges small batteries and maintains large ones and charges motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile and lawn tractor batteries.Schumacher SSC-1500A Ship 'n Shore SpeedCharge Charger with included 75-amp battery clamps Specifications

Fast, Automatic 12-Volt Battery Charging
By combining conventional battery charging technology with state-of-the-art circuitry, the Schumacher SSC-1500A Ship 'n Shore SpeedCharge Charger offers versatility, speed of charging and convenience rarely seen in a battery charger. The charger features an easy-to-use and monitor digital readout with selectable output current rates: 2-amp, 10-amp and 15-amp. The readout also allows for the selection of battery type being charged: standard, AGM or gel cell and provides real-time data on the actual percentage of a full charge that is stored and voltage present at the poles of a charging battery. All these features and data are heightened by the presence of a powerful microprocessor at the heart of the unit.

The microprocessor of the Schumacher SSC-1500A Ship 'n Shore SpeedCharge Charger monitors the attached battery's voltage level from the moment it is connected, using this ever-changing data to improve the charging system's multi-stage charging cycle. Multi-stage charging allows a battery charger to automatically cycle between a variety of charging phases including desulfation, bulk charging, absorption, monitoring, float mode and a minimal drip charge maintain mode when a connected battery again falls below a certain set level. The microprocessor collected data allows the SSC-1500A to more accurately measure the charging needs of a connected battery, resulting in quicker charge times and a lessened chance of damage due to overcharging.
2-Amp, 10-Amp and 15-Amp Charging Rates
An additional key to the speed with which the Schumacher SSC-1500A Ship 'n Shore SpeedCharge Charger works is its three available charging rates: 2-amp, 10-amp and 15-amp. By allowing users to choose the best rate for the right battery type and charging needed the SSC-1500A is better able to supply exactly the right level of charge, at the right time in the charging cycle to get quick results and maintain connected batteries at their proper levels. Details on the three available charging rates include:
- 15-Amp Fast Charge – Charge large batteries faster by feeding them more power, while your charger monitors battery condition and adjusts charge rate to prevent battery damage; for car, truck, marine, RV, farm equipment, AGM, gel cell and deep-cycle batteries.
- 10-Amp Fast Charge – A self-adjusting charge rate for everyday charging needs and keeping your battery in peak condition.
- 2-Amp Slow Charge – A gentle trickle charge rate for charging and maintaining small batteries; charges motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile and lawn tractor batteries.
