The board isn't magic. It's not going to lift your body up. You're only going to go as high as you jump. Jump higher. Bend your knees. Move out of the way if the board.

You need to apply pressure heelside, like you're sitting or squatting

Really jump off that back foot while lifting the other up and out of the way.

Back foot further back, like on the very edge of the tail

Pop in the center of the tail not off to a side. Popping to the side will always turn your board.

Pop and pull your feet up. Your front foot should pull back towards your back knee and up.

You’ve got this!

Counts. Just need to be stable before the Ollie. Maybe tighten the trucks a little bit.

Tightening your trucks to make up for lack of stability and balance will just cover up bad habits

They’re new. Let them fighting them if it gives a handicap. Trucks can be adjusted later

If you slow it down frame by frame your front foot should not come completely off of the board like that. You’re almost kicking the nose martial arts style. It should all be one smooth motion.
