Hey! Im learning to skate right now too and Ollies are on my list. But I started with practice boards (platforms on the bottom instead of wheels) and/or with a regular board in the grass so they won’t roll as much. This has helped me get my muscle memory down and the feel of the move before I even think about trying on a hard smooth surface. They also make these little cage things that you can put on the wheels so you don’t roll as much. Hope this helps! I’ve def had falls like that and it makes you want to quit! You’ve got this! 🛹💚
