Before I got the skate trainers I practiced skating and trying to ollie for about 4 hours over a period of two weeks. After getting the skate trainers I was able to ollie after 5 minutes. These trainers allow you to learn the technique of the ollie quickly because you don't need strong stabilizer muscles or great balance to do the trick. Now all I need to do is skate more to build the muscles and improve balance. TIPS: Tighten your trucks. This will make it easier to balance. The most helpful youtube video I found on learning to ollie was this one: How To Ollie by VLSkate
Hello Internet! I can skateboard, but I couldn’t Ollie! Now I can! It’s simply unrealistic to practice Ollies on grass. While you stay steady, you never get that “kick off the ground” sound.
With the SkaterTrainer, I learned to Ollie my first day; in one hour no less. When I got more comfortable, I took off the front two trainers, until I had no more trainers on, and Ollied.
My kid kept trying to get me to buy these and I consistently refused since I'm old school. I figured if a kid really wants to learn they should do it on the sidewalk skinned knees and all. Then I realized how expensive health care is and bought them. Now I realize these are genius. I was back to doing Ollies in no time. Oh, and my kid starting to get the hang of it too! These are definitely a confidence booster for the kids and sometimes thats all they need to get going!
Amazing product where were these in 1987 ?? Iam 43 , could never really Ollie very well . Started skating with my kids .. Before these I wiped out practicing which is bad at 43. These are very cool and allow u to practice with out the board rolling out on you . I was able to practice with out slamming myself on the missed landing. I was able to get more practice in ( no fetching) and with out hurting myself. I recommend this to every skater.
Genius! Not only are these great for practicing tricks on concrete and letting you get out of the grass, I've also started using them as a hack at work! I have consistent sciatic issues and so I invested in a motorized sitting/standing desk about a year ago and have been using a standing mat that is really comfortable. My only issue with my mat is it doesn't do anything to help activate my core when I'm changing standing positions on a flat surface rather than activating my core with an uneven surface. My chiropractor recommended looking into standing balance boards or uneven mats and I quickly found how expensive they are! By bringing my skateboard to work with these grips on, I have the perfect DIY standing motion board! These rubber wheel grips keep the board perfecting in place and even though my HR guy was a little worried, he couldn't argue with its purpose and stability vs. another really expensive board someone else in the office had for their standing desk. Function in two areas of my life gets a 5-star rating from me! Also, want to address someone else mentioning them being hard to get on the wheel. While that's true its a bit tough, I see that as a sign of solid construction because it's not so tough that you need any assistance from anyone or anything besides your hands to get them on. I'm a 5'2" petite female who doesn't really have much muscle and was able to do get them on just fine :)

Description
SkaterTrainer is one of those "why doesn't this already exist" inventions because it solves the biggest problem new skaters have always faced...
Stop the wheels from rolling while you figure out the steps
Want a better Ollie? Struggling with your Kickflip?
Grab your 4-pack of SkaterTrainer 2.0, skateboard, helmet and knee pads and head out the door. Simply pop the trainers around the skateboard wheels and they will stop the board from slipping while you learn balance and practice your tricks.
Practicing difficult foot movements on a stabilized board improves confidence and speeds up progress. Then, once you've built the muscle memory for executing and landing the trick correctly, you can start increasing movement on the board. When you have it down, just pull the SkaterTrainers off and get the trick rolling.
These trainers are perfect for young skaters who want to master tricks faster, or older skaters looking to re-learn old moves, keeping you safe while you learn to skate like a pro.

I like these things!
I'm an old man (34) pulled my deck out to show the youngsters what's up and was a little rusty. Seen these and gave um a shot. Figured they would be good for the kids to learn on....better than the grass or carpet I did a few decades ago.
Wish I would have invented them
I can't find words to describe how happy I'm with my skater trainer, I never tough in a million years that I would be able to pop an Olli at my age "36", and just after a few weeks I'm hoping like a grasshopper, I really really recommend this product.
A little tricky to install, but it just took a little elbow grease to fit them kn. My son uses these on his first board I bought him. He has been collecting skateboards for a couple of years and these will help him to practice and perfect his ground tricks
I am 33 years old and consider myself a new learner. The only experience I had skating was achieving a sloppy stationary Ollie on a Toysrus board with plastic trucks back when I was 12 or so, over 20 years ago. Skater Trainers had me ollying in under half an hour, and I am get a smoother more natural Ollie than I ever did as a kid. Not worrying about sticking the landing, or having to deal with the wheels moving around while preparing to Ollie frees you up to focus on the movement. Obviously the training wheels will have to come off eventually, but practicing while they're on is so much more efficient and productive. If you are a new learner these will shave hours and hours and hours off the learning curve, they really are an outstanding product.
These are Fantastic !!!! I've been skateboarding for 30 years and I wanted to teach my son. These give him the confidence to try Ollie's.
I live in the North East and it's cold right now. A Great tip I can give all the people that have a hard time putting these on is to soak them in hot tap water for three minutes. They will go on a lot easier and there is less chance of ripping them when putting them on.
