Your Front Foot is Glued

These pop and slide videos are coming back with a vengeance now aren't they? Pop and slide are both lies. I've posted advice on what to do instead about ten times in the last week so if you'll excuse me I'll just leave a few short Mitchie Brusco videos: [VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO] and one giant video: [VIDEO] But what Mitchie doesn't emphasize enough is that when you are learning, forget pop, forget slide, focus ONLY on riding and jumping. Add a little nose raise when you are ready (DON'T try to pop, just lift your front foot). Raise the nose higher as you get more comfotable. But if you aren't rolling, you aren't learning to ollie. It was a waste of time for me, it will be a waste of time for you, too. A tiny no-pop rolling ollie is worth 1000x a high stationary ollie.

tbh, jumping off the board is way better and easier to adjust down from than trying to adjust up when someone has already learned how to muscle out an ollie despite momentarily pinning the tail for their jump It looked like you didn't have faith that the nose would come up with the front foot. Your Front foot is glued [VIDEO]. Get used to that feeling of trusting the nose will come up if you lift your front foot as long as you aren't already completely unweighted from the board. What it actually means to jump off the back truck [VIDEO] and then how to actually feel out the timing [VIDEO]

sounds like it's because your front foot is loosing contact with the board. for ollies, the front foot stays touching the board the entire time. for kickflips, the board moves into the corner pocket and then detaches from the board, which allows it to flip. so for ollies the ball of your foot should just stay in the center of the board the whole time.
