Nice effort! I can’t tell for sure if your back wheels left, but my guess would be no. To get your back wheels to leave the ground you need the tail of your skateboard to hit the ground - this gives it the “pop”. this guy [VIDEO] helped me a lot
Braille completes are like seventy something dollars. Then watch these two videos on ollies [VIDEO] [VIDEO]
nice one congrats! one tip I'd give you is that you don't need to bend forward like you are, check out this video from ben degros [VIDEO] it's about ollies but his third point is about "hinging" your back in the wrong place that I think will help you improve. have fun skating!

Try too keep your shoulders aligned over the bolts. Check your foo
You're on the right track. I think these two points will help you to get more air. #2 Try to be more on balls of your feet. It feels difficult at first. #3 Straighten your back while going down for the jump. Video example: [VIDEO] Those two tips are tightly connected to the timing that is also adressed on the beginning of that video (thanks for Just Keep Skating for the help video) I hope these help. At least those c
It looks like you're bending at the hips too much which prevents you from jumping well. Basically it's the way you're setting up to jump which is making it hard for you Check this video out. It looks at Ollie mistakes. Go to around 3 min in. I think this is the mistake you're making. Idk why it isn't hyperlinking. [VIDEO]
