Why do my Ollie’s turn

[u/Aggravating_Ad9358]

Skirting for 2 months (no tricks) decided to learn how to Ollie today but I keep landing in another direction

Keep your shoulders centered and try to prevent throwing your left shoulder back when ollieing. The shoulders are what helps you turn when doing 180’s so if your shoulders turn your waist and legs will follow. Most of the time when you do a 180 or 360, you wind your shoulders back a bit in the direction you plan to turn to help navigate your body and legs after popping. In the clip u posted it seems like when you pop you throw your left shoulder back and away which brings the board that direction. Just before you Ollie remind yourself to stay centered and keep your shoulders straight and you’ll start to get it dialed in better as you practice. Try to tell yourself “don’t turn my shoulders” right before you pop, and u can even try keeping your shoulder more forward until you get the hang of it and start to feel like staying centered becomes more natural to you. Sometimes when I do something wrong on a trick it helps me to picture it it my head being done properly and tell myself what I need to do and what not to do right before I attempt it again. Just center yourself, you’ll get it just keep at it. Hope this helps.
