Posted in r/NewSkaters whenever someone asks why their ollie turns or the board shoots off to one side. Covers several causes, not only shoulders.

“… the way we both jump is causing our weight to remain back, and making it really easy to cause this. …”

There is no one true method, you have to figure out what works for you and is comfortable. Also Ollies turning is not directly related to your foot position, it mostly is about your shoulder movements. The foot position might be affecting your shoulder movements slightly but you could also just not move your shoulders wrong with any balanced foot position. [VIDEO] this might be interesting to you

look at my profile, SAME exact thing. Something I’m looking to try next session is keeping my upper body over the board slightly more. I’ve seen a few troubleshooters online mention that the way we both jump is causing our weight to remain back, and making it really easy to cause this. Reference: [VIDEO]
