Either be a small light dude, or work out and get better hops. Go to the gym, get a 30-40lb bar, put it on your shoulders and start jumping, start throwing some 180s in there to get used to it.

Took me a while to learn how to ollie... CHronics are quite stiff so it wasn't easy. Make sure your boots are tight, that helps a lot.

roll from the balls of your feet to the heels, and pop off your heels

i dunno...all the guys i know who can ollie ridiculously high have stiff skis but are big enough to flex them. The stiffer the ski, the more pop you can get (course, it gets progressively harder too).

Yeah...definitely, cuz if your boots are loose your feet always slide to the front or back of your boots when you try to ollie and it makes it a lot harder

i can ollie and nollie pretty easily because right now i ski on scott p3's which are pretty soft skis and before those i had pe's, and i learned to butter and ollie on my pe's so wen i got my scotts i was able to flex them real easily and stuff. what i do is i lean back, kinda kick my legs out in front of me while theyre still bent, flex my tails a little more and then pop and try to lean forward while im in the air so it evens out on both sides
