A gamechanger for your ollies

I have a completely different take to everyone else commenting on this thread. It's a tip I for from skate IQ - when you pop your backfoot down, push it away from you It instantly fixed my back foot hanging on ollies. [VIDEO]

Try to pop and jump. Also to get a better pop you should push your backfoot down and a little bit to the back of the skate board. This guy explains it better tha i do[VIDEO] ://youtube.com/shorts/sseXl9l2or4?si=o0dlWT8AuGSN6HfA

You have good balance and form. I actually don't see any major issues here. In this case I wouldn't change anything major. What I would suggest is trying to jump over some obstacle while moving. Body has a internal way of adapting the movement while doing it. Sometimes it happens without changing that much things conciously. Other small change I would suggest you to try comes from the great Mitchie Brusco. This helped me to lift ollies a bit higher using less force. Gife it a try. Keep Going! [VIDEO]

Here's another good one for you that focuses specifically on the back foot which is your main issue here. [VIDEO]

You say your board flies in front of you? Check this short vid: [VIDEO]

I have a few offerings! 1. I agree with u/Alucard0_0420 - even rolling slowly (you can tighten your wheel bolts to make your board slower too if that helps - I do it because I'm old and injury prone) gives you a better foundation for building your skating skills. 2. When you pop and lift/slide your front foot towards the front of the board, see if it helps to think of it as sliding your HEEL towards the front of the board, rather than your toes/whole foot. I just started skating again after about 15 years of not seriously skating, and relearning ollies has been really interesting. My “natural” ollies look a lot like yours, but I realized last week that when I push my heel towards the front of the board rather than the middle/toe end of my foot, my front foot stays much more centered and the back of the board stays REAL tight to my back foot. 3. [VIDEO] this is a great tip for ollies!

Try to keep the ball of your feet closer to the centre. Hanging your toes over the edge makes it harder for you to jump straight up. And you need to pop the board to come back towards you. I will link a video below that explains it much better. And practice ollie while rolling asap. Don't be too hard on yourself. You made a lot of progress in just 1 week of skateboarding. You are jumping. [VIDEO]

It took me about a month of practicing almost every day if I remember correctly. This vids might help you understand the ollie better, I thought I knew how to ollie until U saw this [VIDEO] [VIDEO]
