Keep at it! You’ve got this. As others have said, you’ll definitely need to jump more. A non-obvious thing is that you need to pop at the last moment in your jump, as your body weight is already lifting off the ground and about to leave. Then, the pop will snap up your nose, and you pull that up and forward with the side of your front foot. The pop timing is super important. It’s very, very easy to unintentionally ho

You got to mess around with the timing and the front foot push a lot to get used to the movement. I’m still trying to learn and the only tutorial that I found helpful is the one below. [VIDEO]

I literally said "Not solid on ollies" as I watched him roll by. This is coming from someone who's *also not solid on ollies.* Dunning–Kruger effect in action, I'm just a little higher up on the awareness curve lmao You got this OP! [VIDEO] <- Dan's video is amazing - the folding of your feet both at the beginning and after the kick-out has made a huge difference for me.
