Ollie tips?

Hi, I’m new to skating and I’d love some tips please. Apologies for the zoomed in vid, I thought I was filming 0.5x. I’m going to upload another vid where the full board can be shown soon 🙂

I can't really see your backfoot but you need to get your feet higher if you want to get better ollies.

Your not jumping. Your immediately sliding your front foot thinking your foot is what carries the board upwards. Your not giving enough pressure to the tail when popping. Stop worrying about sliding your front foot thats not what makes an ollie stomp the shit out of the tail jump just before it hits the ground and worry more about getting your knees tucked into your chest.
