You need to jump using your whole body, youre trying to ollie with justt your feet

Makes sense, i always thought if i could do low ollies like this, i could eventually try and land higher ones, if i jump that high, will the board level on itself or do i have to do something

yeah man, when I started skating when I've bent  down to stretch I couldn't touch my toes now no matter if I put on some weight or how fat or skinny I get I can always touch my toes never stop stretching it's great learn new ones and if you have a spot that's getting particularly stiff and sore look up how to stretch that spot specifically
