Garrison Conklin: Ollie From Bump to Flat - SLC, UT

"The ollie is the foundation of almost every trick on a skateboard. When you are just learning to skate, you practice ollie-ing up curbs, over soda cans, a deck on its side, a manhole cover, off a picnic table and down stairs. You are always trying to go higher, longer, faster—and it feels amazing. Some people just have unbelievable power and finesse in their ollies. Garrison is one of those guys. I would have been happy with an ollie from curb cut to curb cut here, but Garrison saw the challenge to clear the whole driveway to the flat on the other side, and went for it. I’m sure it felt just as great as the first time he ollied up a curb."

Also make sure to check out Garrison's blog for some amazing photos here.

We have loads of new decks from the Stereo Sound Agency.

 New HiFi wheels too. All of which are guaranteed against flat spots.

Check this amazing promo that HiFi put out in 2009. Always gets me hyped to skate.

"It seems that every time I go out skating with Garrison Conklin, I end up with at least three great photos of him. He’s the kind of guy who skates all those “almost a spot” spots and makes it seem effortless. He’s got massive ollies and quick, little ninja feet.

This spot on Broadway has been around as long as I can remember, and the frontside boneless has been a staple trick even longer. It was about time we made match.com profiles for the weird plaque bank on Broadway and the frontside boneless and finally hooked the two of them up. I’m glad that Conklin got to be the official chauffeur on their first date."
