2 things 1) there’s 3 frames where your board and foot touches the floor, this kills the pop. you should be jumping from the board and throwing it to the floor. a good way to get a decent pop is to do hippy jumps but lift ur front foot up while hippy jumping. this teaches to jump off the board and not the floor. 2) the slide is fine but try to lift ur knees up higher and float a bit longer. this would give you more level ollies and might eliminate the problem of the board rotating [VIDEO] - best ollie tutorial i’ve seen on youtube [VIDEO] - common mistakes [VIDEO] - popping fundamentals
