Jump!!!!!!!!

[KickTheFlip]

I find it hard and confusing to actually jump while tryin ollies, kickflips etc.. Is there any tips on how to jump high cos i kinda get distracted by sliding my foot up the board and then i forget to jump while doin that. Im goofy Footed!
By The way, please explain the following terms
Backside
Frontside
Fakie
Nollie
Switch Ollie

Thank You

switch ollie-an ollie done in a switch stance, so for you, an ollie when ridng regualr.

for a grind, is hard to explain,. but basiucally, if your toes are facing the way your goin, like forfor a boardslide or whatever, thats backide (b/s), and if the toes are facing the opposite way your moving, thats frontside (f/s)

a nollie is an regular ollie, butn instead of poopin with your back foot on the tail and sliding your front foot up, you pop with your front foot on the nose and slide your back foot back. its a NoseOLLIE

fakie is wen u side backwards, like if u ride up a ramp, and come right back down, your coming back down backwards, aka fakie.

as for your ollies, your timing is off. the way i used to try to di it, was just pooping and then jumping, but you gotta crouch, then start to just jump up, and then when your about stragtiened out, pop the tail to get you in the air, and as soon as your done pooping, slide your front foot upwards to really get you into the air and to level out. the higher up you bring your knees, the higher up youll go. just keep practicing, and youll get a feel for it.

Thanx man, I appreciate it a lot. And by the way, I hope that word was "popping" not pooping :D
