i know its pathetic but i seriously cannot get an ollie. its like my back wheels are glued to the ground!!!!! what am i doing wrong?????

you just gotta pop the tail

you just gotta pop the tail really hard. try practicing it on carpet for a while just standing still. dont be afraid to fall either. nothing beats just watching pros do something over and over again and then learning from them. here is a video that you might find useful -

hope this helps! keep practicing!

peace.

make sure ur front foot

make sure ur front foot drags to the nose, practice like u were ollying into a nose manny. watch any decent skate vid in slow mo while someones ollying to watch the dragging technique cuz its pretty much key. also try moving ur back foot farther back on the tail, it feels a bit awkward but the farther back ur toe is, the higher you'll pop.

you should bend really low

you should bend really low with your pinky toe over the tail,pop,slide and level out

pop

You should pop the tail harder.
