Can u pop an ollie of a rail? Or sucking ur knee up after a transition is the only way to get any air? I saw "money can't buy" and found sick those shuvits they do over the flat part off an A frame. It seems like they get some pop as well, but I didn't see anyone jumpin (like doin a normal ollie)over to the landing transition, only shuvs.

it's just gravity that is making them go uo since there on an incline when they do the shuvit the board pops up.

I've never seen a bi-level. Would it be way easier with one off them?

Ive never seen the video, nor tried to ollie rails, but i think it is possible to get pop on a rail shuv due to the fact that your feet do not stay on the board for the duration of the trick. The point of an ollie is pop up and stay on the board, which would be very hard to get on a rail since you 150+ pounds on the 7 pound board. With a shuv u only have 7 pounds poping off the rail Confused

in that promo john ruark put up a long time ago, he does pop off the performance a frame a bit, like he gets to the top, lets his front foot down a bit n pops right off the top of the rail onto the water, he doesnt get significantly higher than it but he definitly gets higher than it.

the best way to do it is shuv-out, and to be more specific, i would say to go boarslide, than frontside shuv-out...

i know that some guys tryed,(you can see one in relentless liquid force video) trying to olie from boardslide and it didn't work well...
