This is the weirdest thing ever. I was doing ollies fine until yesterday. I did a few good ones, but my next one was a total screw up. I thaught just a weird mistake, but since then, I cant ollie anymore...at all.
What happens is when I pop the board spins our from under me counter-clockwise. Im pretty sure Im doing everything the same way as before... So is there something wrong with the board? Or is it common to randomly lose the ability to ollie?
Idk, I think Im still doing something wrong but I can tell what, because it feels the same way as I was doing it before.

That happens to a lot of people. Just keep practicing and you'll straighten out the ollie eventually. I think the problem is in the front foot, but you don't really need to do anything but practice.

Yeah and make sure that your back foot stays on, so it cant spin.

It's because yer turning yer shoulders by accident. If you ever hearda Reese Forbes on the Nike and Rasa Libre (R.I.P) team, he had the exact same problem when he started skating. Gradually he figured out to stop turning his shoulders, so he could keep his ollies straight. G'luck.

You could be turning your body/shoulders which does cause the board to spin
