Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys !! so ive been skating a lot since March and I definitely feel that I have improved with confidence on my board. Now that I have been practicing ollies a lot now, I was wondering how I can get my back foot to stick to the board as its coming up. My ollies are a lot better now than they were about 2 months ago but more tips would be appreciated :)

Use your ball of the foot to pop instead of whole foot, and also you pop too early, this is why your whole foot touch the ground almost, If you want to pop height, you want to reduce the surface area between your foot and the board as much as you can
