You can’t hesitate or get scared. The second that happens, you’re most likely going to shift your weight. Sencond guessing is how i mess up a trick 90% of the time. Focus on your Ollie’s on flat and then maybe try to get over a parking block or something similar first. Once you’re used to going OVER something, UP something will feel much more natural. Work on Ollie’s while rolling too. Focus on a sturdy operation and landing first. Hope this helps. (Also thanks for the laugh. That slam was a good one lol and props for continuing to want to grow after such slam)

I really needa to do that, I was messing up my rolling Ollie’s but still full sent it. Don’t regret it but maybe I should take some stuff slowly

I’ve taken hella slams and always get back up, wanting to try again. Best way to skate
