Im sorta in the same spot as you, but have been landing them better now. I figured out, Pop the board forward some, make sure you drop back hand, spin board in control, and bend your knees a bit when you land! Seems to help me.
I also usually edge out and go through the prosess in my head and just kinda do the motion without poping or letting the board out, and then take another run at it and pull it. Seems to help with confidence!
Also I usually talk to myself and tell my self "I got this" It works ever once in a while, but i usually just get lucky But it helps with the mental part of it! |

make sure the handle is tight to your waist. helps keep your body forward... _________________ at least be honest with your self |

How high do you need to ollie to have a chance to land these? I start playing with them last weekend for the first time and I got about 90 degrees no problem. Curious if I need more height or just more umph on the rotation. |
