sorry for my english, im german i have a 46 inch s9 garuda super cruiser with a small tail i want to know if i can do an ollie on it because i try and only the front goes up please help
If there's enough tail that it can make contact with the ground, and not be at a ridiculously high angle, than yes, it's probably technically possible for it to be ollied; although, it may be very near to impossible. If you don't have experience ollieing boards near that length, or any boards at all for that matter; you'll probably have a real hard time with it.
It looks like it could be possible to do a small ollie, however I doubt you'd be able to pull off anything huge no matter how good you are. I wouldn't spend too much time on it
I'm sure if you tried a much wider stance and really worked at evening the board out in the air, a little ollie can be done.
But I doubt a serious, full-fledged ollie that would be useful for anything can be done on a board that length.
I too have a 46 inch sector 9, and I would say the best way to get in the air would be to do a boneless. I've gone up curbs and over parking blocks with it by doing a boneless, and it is satisfying in a way.
it can be done, but without a nose kick and on a flexy it's going to be kinda hard to learn. you can pop the nose up high enough to lift your back wheels over small obstacles and curbs, at least that's what i do. life's short, so if you can't ollie at all, i highly recommend learning it on a shorter board.

It can be done and quite easily once you get it down buddy. Use the tail and get used to making hard turns with the tail, tight turns where its the tail that turns you and not the board. They call it chucking, its a way of gyrating to move your board and all you use is your back wheels and tail, just lean into it and carve. Once you gat taht down the easiest way to ollie a long board is to do a 180 ollie, then learn variations off of that. The tail stuff i was talking about will get you comfortable with making hard turns on the tail then you can do a really hard one and hit the tail on the ground and get the board in the air. I can get up curbs and park benches but it takes alot of practice, so it can be done.
