Okay, I've been trying to work on my ollie but can't seem to get anywhere because of this problem. When I pop it and jump, I guess I'm spinning the front of the board about 45 degrees backward because that's where I always seem to end up . Then when I land I always seem to lose my balance and start to fall backward. Any tips on how to fix this?

Slide straight up. And you don't 'spin' the board.
How long have you been practicing ollies?

Make sure you pop straight down and drag straight up, and when you pop make sure not to scoop the board at all like you would for a shove it

EVERYONE have had their problems with ollies. I have been skating for 1½ a month, and i can only land my tre flips with the front foot. Guess i'm just scared deep inside my mind. I think that you're too. As soon as you pop, your backfoot should be hovered over the bolts. That way, when you're midair it will be real easy to catch it, and just SLAM it down with both your feets. If you don't slam it down, there is gonna happen strange things with your board, like it's turning 45 degrees when you're landing.
Oh, and i got some new tips from my friend.
When you ollie, try have your front-foot somewhere between the backtruck and the middle of the board (=====|==|) it will look like. The | is the feets. It is easily true suicide if you don't hold your balance right, but if you do that and drag really hard and suck your legs up alot, you will go FLYING MILES in the air.

For some reason, I think you cannot even kickflip, or varial. And are lieing about the tre flip. And the ollie picture, that's a TERRIBLE habit to get into.
