*Approved by MRCK*

The rules are simple - you need to be able to 1) do an ollie, 2) do them well, 3) get your hands on a video camera. You don't need to sign up for this game - just post your ollie video in the 'Best ollie contest - Entries' I'm going to create right now. Your ollie video must have your ollie(of course), as well as this handsign, to prove that it's you on the video and that it was filmed for the game :

You're given 8 days to go and film the best ollie you can. Best as in, most good-looking, most stylish - it doesn't have to be flatground, but keep in mind that a stylish flatground ollie will beat a sketchy oliie down a set all day. No need for a few select judges either - once the 8 days are over, on next Tuesday, the 'Best ollie contest - Entries' thread will be closed and i will create a voting thread, in which everyone will be able to watch everyone's entries and vote for the one they liked the best.

One entry per person. But as long as the 8 days aren't over, to spice things up, you will be able to 'update' your entry - if you get another ollie on film that's better than your old one, you will be able to replace your old one with it.

The voting thread will remain open for three days. After that time, the poll will be closed, and the winners will be announced, under the form of a top 3.

You will have until next Tuesday, get working on your ollies now, have fun :)

I can style up some flat ollies, and I can get those high, but maybe I'll try one down some stairs for this one.

if this was highest ollie
id attempt to regain my title
but hmmm
would longest ollie qualify?

Yeh, I doubt a flatground ollie will give someone a win, there's so many people here who can easily get a sick ollie down a set.

its basically the best good looking ollie.

i was thinking of having a longest ollie comp, but i dont think it would be that popular, itll be a pain measuring it.

Sweeeeet.

There's a really cool 16 set a few blocks from my house. The only problem is security. I'll see what I can get though.

:p

I have a problem with tweaking out my ollies so much that I can't land them though...haha, I'm sure I'll get a decent entry in.

06-06-2008, 01:08 PM
Yeh, no ollie norths. Just a plain ollie. I hope I can sesh this one set before the end date, but my feet are usually dead. -____-

GNAR
06-09-2008, 01:37 PM
Damn it!
I was looking forward to entering this.
But since I broke my board, and I'm not gonna have one for a while, I can't enter.
I guess judging will just have to do.

Berishman
06-09-2008, 02:21 PM
I'll be able to film one later today, I might need like a day extension though, because its quite dark and cloudy outside..

lemons7
06-09-2008, 02:35 PM
I'm thinking I could use an extension, I'm just not sure what I could get. I'll try for something.

Berishman
06-09-2008, 02:46 PM
Haha, If I don't end up with enough time to travel anywhere I'll just do a flatground ollie for the lulz.

I filmed the highest ollie I've ever done, it was over a rail with two boards stacked on top, unfortunately the tape is messed up and there are lines in the video so you can't really see it. I might post it, not as an entry though.

Preston951
06-10-2008, 02:34 AM
i have mine filmed and done,just waiting to amaze you all! haha... we'll see.

what do i do with it?

by the way, i had it in really good quality but Youtube blows so bad. it takes like 7 hours to upload a high quality vid lol, so i saved it as a mp4 = uber bad quality. o well :P

06-23-2008, 01:28 AM
Why don't you just shut the **** up dude!
You're just showing everyone how much of a jerk you are!
I'm only 12 freaking years old, and been skating for 6 months. So excuse me if I'm not as good as you, so just get off my back!

well if enough people say they will enter the next one i would run it, but since i am going away in a day, so someone else would have to run it.
