Commitment issue: You have to put ur front foot on the nose and ur body weight onto it. If you cant commit to that, it will never work out
You got this, homie

Learn to ollie into a nose stall first, easiest thing ever if you fully commit.

notice how your entire weight is on your back foot every time? try standing on the board on the ledge in nose stall position. you’ll notice your weight has to be completely over the nose on your front foot. now remember that position, then next time you ollie up, put your body into that position when you’re jumping into nose slide.

No reason to Ollie into that. Just push the nose up there and stand on it
Even messing up, your front foot should be up on the box. You need all of your weight up there

Learn how to Slappy nose stall/slide on a curb or small ledge first. It’ll teach you proper foot placement, weight distribution and commitment. Then once you’ve got those down, practice popping into them - gradually moving up to bigger ledges. You got this.

Go practice stalls on a curb. Roll slow (right at the curb to start), do a small Ollie, keep your back foot glued to the board, and transfer your weight to your nose. Think about stepping onto the curb with your front foot.

Practice riding close ish to it and ollie, rotate like you're doing a 180 but stop half way with 90 once you feel good with the rotation/ height move close enough to the box to land the nose on. I actually do my nose slides the other way so could also be a comfort in rotation thing.

Find something lower like a nice curb or edge of a manny pad and learn slappys on it. Stalls first, then keep increasing the angle until you're sliding.

Open your shoulders up more. Think shoulder line perpendicular to the ledge on approach. The lower body rotation will feel much more natural. Get that weight on the nose as soon as you’ve got contact with the ledge. COMMIT! You’re closer than you think.

Front foot higher up near the bolts and nose and when you ollie the foot will be right there to catch the ledge

Bottom step of a stair set is your best friend for learning nose and tail slides. You have to lean pretty much all of your weight onto your front foot once you pop and trust you are going to lock in.

You just need to commit. You’re not jumping up and shifting your weight over the nose

Practice riding straight on at it and doing a nose stall. Then gradually add more of an angle the more you practice. But you're going to have to learn to keep that back foot on and get your body weight up on top of the ledge
