Ok nice keep practicing and don't stress about how your ollies look right now. They'll get better once you build up board control by learning new tricks. Like "LingonberrySolid7109" said, your body has to learn the ins and outs. But I'll give you a tip for your ollie's as well: you're simply not extending your front foot out enough to level out the board, which is making the board go rocket. Here's a video to help yo

Leveling out the board has less to do with your back foot and more to do with moving your front foot forward and outward while at the same time bringing your back foot up. [VIDEO] Braille has a video that explains this a lot better than I can, I'd recommend checking it out.

You're pushing your front foot down. I had the same problem when I was learning the ollie. Try to kick it out more to level out the board. A good tutorial is [VIDEO]

It looks like you've got a decent slide with your front foot, which is great. It seems like you're just not leveling it back out, like you said. Have you tried them moving? I find moving ollies much easier. You're raising your front foot nicely, so you might want to try kicking it forward a bit to level them out. Maybe check out these videos too. [VIDEO] [VIDEO]

You've got great height on the Ollie but you've gotta straighten out that front leg. I learned how to do them from this video ([VIDEO]) and I think the best thing for me was doing a bunch of "Ninja Kicks" without my board; it really helped to get the form into muscle memory.
