I think I need a new board or i'm having a off month cause now i always land with me feet on the edge of the toe edge and end up fliping the board.

How long have you been skating? When I first started..for my first..6 months, I'd have on and off times with ollies. I'd have days/weeks/months where I completely sucked...and ones where I rocked. Now, I can go 2+ weeks without skating, and still ollie fine...you just work up consistency.

Honestly, I think you just need to keep at it. Everyone has bad, and very bad days...weeks..months, whatever. You just gotta develop consistency, and that means skating when you completely suck...you just gotta develop some 'memory'. Nothing is wrong with you in my mind....keep at it.
