| Keep your shoulders square. This is a common problem when skaters are learning to ollie. It'll correct itself with practice. |

It is probably a little bit of your back foot too, don't scoop your back foot. If you don't understand just tell me and i will try to explain it better.

They are both right. What Skatewakeboarder means is that your pushing the tail of the board away from you (out in front of you) when you pop, which is turning the nose 90 degrees behind you.

yuop, just square up your shoulders, and it will keep you on your axis.

its probly to do with fear awell, learners tend to move away from the board wen they jump for the ollie, do wat the rest have said, keep your shoulders square to the board and try staying directly above the board. grass always helps to if its ur first time. also wen u pop the board make sure ur not poping it as u would for a shuvit, push it straight down and it all should work out for ya

Alright, Im not a pro at ollying yet, but, I heard a good tip, just use something that is about waist height that you can hold onto, like a table or a chair, make sure its not too small though, then it wouldn't help you at all and your form would go All wack.  That wouldnt be good.
o ya  , if you have a basketball hoop that is low enough, grab onto the net (arms in the air) and then practice. See ya bro
