probably your foot positioning...or you are jump and trying to let the board follow....it's all hard to explain....it also means you are probably trying to get the board higher than you can comfortably ollie..you'll fix it through experience

my friend informs me that that happened with me. I had to lean back a lot so I could land on my board. Good luck!

no youre pretty fucked up, maybe your stance is a little off balance, a little too much to the left or right

huh well like my right toe is on like the left side of teh tail and my left foot toe is a lil past the first bolt i guess.....so when you guys ollie are your foot positioned straight on top of the board? like the arch of your foot is in the middle of the board?

well everyone does it different, but i have my foot pretty centered on the tail, most of the way across the board in front and behind the bolts. you have to try different stuff until you find what works.

in front, like a few inches back. its gay if its too far back. you gotta kickflip with almost the same motion as your ollie
