A 42-second Skate IQ short on how to ollie higher. It focuses on body position and timing to get more height and level out the board.

Linked in r/NewSkaters as a quick visual reference for fixing front foot and knee position when ollies won't level out or bone out.

I think you have somewhat the same problem I have where your front knee and foot are getting slightly too far ahead of you which makes it harder push the nose forward. At like 0:03 in your video, your knee is in front of your lead shoulder and your foot is roughly under your shoulder. Look at roughly 0:34 in this video.. [VIDEO]. Front knee is under leader shoulder and foot is closer to midline of the body. I think that gives you more leverage to push the board forward because it's more under you
