I can ollie 6 boards so i guess i have a few tips to spare and hopefully it helps.
I can see two immediate problems in terms of stance. One, your back foot should be directly over your tail, like almost falling off your tail and it should be straight. Two, your front foot is way the fuck back on your board, i made the same mistake starting out a year ago
Youre just starting so try to do small but nice ollies at first instead of trying to get big air first thing. Try positioning your foot right below your front bolts for added stability.
Now the biggest issue by far is timing and not sliding your front foot. Basically a good ollie is as follows: you pop straight down with your back foot and slide up your board with you front foot (kinda like a ninja kick). Then your board comes back up to your back foot (the catch) and then you stomp it down. On your video, you pop at an angle which limits your air time and you front foot doesnt slide, it just kinda sits there, blocking your board and stopping you fromp achieving air.
My two cents anyway. you should head out to youtube there are literally hundreds of amazing tutorials on ollies made by dudes with scary capabilities. Good luck man!
Thanks man! Actually, in the past couple days, I've been skating a lot (also a lot with people who are better than me, which I find helps me learn faster just by skating w/ them).
I got my pop a bit better by using either the very tip of my toe/the ball of my foot and sort of flicking my ankle, and that helped a LOT (if that helps anyone reading this I guess). I can get a decent 4"(?) now. Huge difference.
I hadn't realized that my foot was too far back... I've still been making that mistake - oops. You're right about the angled pop too - it's probably taking away from my height, so I'll keep that in mind. Since I made this post, I've figured out the slide a bit better, but my main issue is that I keep rotating. I guess that when I slide, I slide a bit counterclockwise and it's making me turn (just thought I would mention that in case anyone else has the same issue bc I think that's why it's happening), which means I can't do ollies moving at any more than a roll right now.
Thank you for the advice! I think that a straight down pop could help my form a lot, and moving my front foot forward for stability too (to almost on top of the bolts i suppose?). Those seem like some really good tips, I'll try it out!
