| Hey, I know there are other threads on how to Ollie, but I have some questions about style, and technique. 1) I've realized that some of the time I Ollie without having the tail actually touch the surface and pop. How does this even happen? 2) Also, I started trying to get pop by rolling the board back first and it seemed to help. Is this a helpful way to learn, that I can translate to rolling forward, or is it counterproductive? 3) Finally, I often notice that I'm pressing down really hard on the deck before I pop and I don't feel like it's helping my pop.
How can I correct these bad habits?

| yeah, when i was learning to ollie i kind of rolled backwards first. it helped then and now i can do it perfectly without rolling backwards. it doesnt matter as long as youre not gong crazily backwards. |

| I've just been trying to clean up my ollies. I think I've corrected all of these problems and gotten a better consistency from watching the weakfingers tutorial and focusing on the pop before trying to do it all at once. |
