I can land my ollies moving pretty much every time but I always land them a little crooked to the left and it's really starting to annoy me. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can keep the board going straight?

man oooo are you a regular rider????.....cuz im goof and I sometimes land to the right....its because ur back is leaning to that side so when you jump your weight forces the board to whatever side ur back is to(or whatever end has more weight on it..... you have to keep your self RIGHT OVER THE BOARD.... but I did find that really exagurating this "problem eventually turns into a 180 ollie ...kep at it man and stay with all ur weight flat on the board as u start to ollie dont lean left or right.....weight RIGHT over the board

There is no secret. Don't turn your shoulders; land square.

ya cuz when you approch the thing ur conna hop, u most likely have more wieght on one side and doing that makes u turn to that side when you jump. Like when u hope ur foot is probably more or less on the inside corner of the tail and then when u jump u shove it to that side...everything must be squared

Also, make sure you lean in whichever direction you are ollieing. I've found that it's better to have more weight on your right foot (I'm goofy) while you're airborne. That's for an ollie in motion, though. Tuck up good. Don't turn your shoulders.

An attempt at humor, or just ignorance? :-3:
