Ollie Help- front foot keeps landing on nose, plus 1 short question.

[BakerSkateboards]

okay whenever i pop my ollies my front foot MOST OF TIME (8/10) times will land on the nose and i will stop right there or, whenever i pop one the board will go away from me land upside down. also my other question is kinda dumb but, i was just reading something and it said that the FATTER end is the FRONT, i always thought it was the other way around but, i did b uy mine from ebay so i'll give you guys a link and tell me which is front:

You don't have to use the nose as the nose if the reverse works better for you. It doesn't make a huge difference, the nose is longer and steeper if you want to distinguish them.

If your ollies land with your front foot on the nose, you're probably dragging forward instead of up. When you ollie, it's diagonal but more on the vertical side. Either that or you're simply dragging too far, which can be corrected by putting your foot farther back or training yourself not to drag that far.

The times with your ollies fly away is when you're not keeping the board under you. Just stay centered over the board and it's bound to stay under you.

in the way it is made the end with the "t" of the word element is the tail

wow, i always thought that the brown end was the back, well i know now i guess, i'll have to practice using it like that from now on, but, will it change how my ollies are? like height wise? thanks again for the previous responses.

frontside flips are really anooying me and i cant seem to land them 180...i can land em 90 or about 120...but not 180...and when i do em they look dodgy too...i need sumone to go through the steps and where i need to locate my foot positions as well as timing etc...thanks
