What skaters said on Reddit
Your front foot doesn't need to be so straight. Angle it a little towards the nose. That's how I learned to Ollie. Works for me. I can clear chains 2+ feet ollieing that way. Remember, too, skateboarding is nothing but physics [VIDEO]. You need to press the front foot down to get air. This guy [VIDEO] shows and explains what you need.
