I practiced my ollie yesterday, because I still suck at doing them... The weird thig is, I'm goofy, but I get WAY more air when I ollie switch than when I ollie regular? What the hell is wrong? It seems my timing is better when I'm standing switch on the bioard than when I'm standing normally (goofy)...

Anyone had this problem?

Oh and also, I'm goofy wakeboard and snowboarding, so I don't think it's because I'm naturally regular... When I get pushed in the back, it's also my right foot that goes forward, so I'm a goofy...

Help anyone?

I have your same problem. The best you can do is just keep practicing with ollies regular, you eventually get better and you just learn to skate along normally. I think my problem happened because when i was younger i used to have a board and i would skate along reular/mongo and i would try ollies like that but i dunno.

Yeah I know I sakted a bit when I was young (6 or 7 max) on an old unidirectionnal skate, And I think I was going regular at that time.... Can't rememebr really well thoe...

Anyone else has another explanation?

Could be that you are better and making a backwards ollie motion with your legs from something you do wakeboarding or snowboarding. I never had the problem you do, but now I can ollie just as high switch anyways, and nollie and fakie ollie even higher.

I dunno how it started but either way its a dumb problem. Just do alot of skating switch and u get used to it.
