My ollies pathetic

[Calabanga]

OKay i'm gonna try explain so you can help me.

I do..

Stand on the board normal position (i ride goofy). Crouch a little, and push as hard as ill go. The board goes around two inches of the ground, i take my back foot off and drag. The drag seems to do nothing as i land with one foot off and one foot on. I don't have time to bend my kness to my chest or level.

I'm trying to..(tell me if ima wrong)

Anmy tips would be good.

all i can say is commit and practice

for 1 thing you dont "crouch a little" you are suppose to crouch all the way down. And 1 other thing when you crouch, you put all your weight on your back foot and "snap" really quickly dont keep your weight on the back foot cuz the front foot is tryin to go up with the board, but if you have your foot a little above it then it can go up in the air. As your jumping with the board, your feet should be right over the trucks (so the board doesnt snap in half). And dont take your back foot off the board. Basiclly snap the board really hard and NO weight should be on the front foot what so ever! And yes they do take LOTS of practice. It took me a week or so to learn it and i skated in my basment 1-2 hours a day and all i did was ollies...pretty much. Just DO NOT give up you'll get it sooner or later.

i crouch really low, snap only with my toes, and the drag and jump... yeah, like sk8er_dude18 said, don't crouch a little. i tried one like that before... didn't work.

If you put all your weight on you back foot, snap and don't lift it in the air, how do you get airborn?

I also needs more hlep on my one foot on and one foot off issue, this really stinks.

I'm trying to pop really hard, and i'm doing the popping good, but even single time i try to drag, or don't, my back foot just goes like..

The four -- is my board the two -- is my foot, and the arrows symbolises what happens after i pop.

So, I pop very hard all the weight on my back foot, i go a few inches and at the same time i drag, and a few mili secons eariler my back fot is already on the ground, the drag does nothing as i land with one foot..

I've also been trying to ollie for 1 week, and the only progress i have made is the drag(which does nothing atm) and a little bit above the ground on a pop, my foot has always left the board no matter how much.

When i pop, my board goes high in the air, and when i jump, i can't go as high as it and hit the ground before it with one foot on the board :@
