Skateboarding and ollies??

Question

okay so ive been skating for a few weeks (not like hxc or anything, just like 45 min a day or w/e) and i am still having trouble with my ollies and pop shuvits. w/ my ollies i cant seem to slide my foot forward. it only pushes the board away from me and doesnt move up and with my pop shuvits it just spins out of control.

my main concern right now is with my ollies...idk what im doing wrong. i pop up the back end and kinda jump off the board almost, then i slide my foot up to the nose. except it doesnt go to the nose, it just pushes the board away from me

Answer 1

I can;t tell you exactly what to do, but when I first started skateboarding, i would test my ollies with the board on grass first. That way the board doesn't move under your feet. This should help, at least a bit.
