Illmeister80 nailed it with his advice but I want to add one more thing. Commit. If you watch yourself, your upper body and knee involvement is very low. For example, check this out [VIDEO] (1m39s if the link doesn't work). Skateboarding requires a full body commitment. Once you get better, it will require much less effort but give it your all when you're learning.

For example, compare mike v's cement and grass ollies right here [VIDEO]. No problem.
