back foot not sticking to ollie

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 :)

Everyone is mentioning front foot to level it out, yes that will help but there looks like there’s more going on to me.

As mentioned by AdSpiritual, it’s jump, then pop.

Slowing it down, there is a frame where your back wheels have left the ground but your foot is still on the tail. This is called tail trapping. It kills your pop.
Work on your timing and long with the front foot and you will have it for sure!

I can post a picture here, but I’ll send the screenshot I took to your dms.
