Haha ''gay turning ollies'' yeah i can help... My freind used to do the same thing it's all about keeping your shoulders facing foward and keeping them in parallel with the nose and tail of your board, the only reason your board turns is because your upper body is twisting.

i used to do that alot... i still do it everynow and then it doesnt bother me cus ive learned to kinda shifty back which gives me more height and a nice tweaked ollie.

Don't put your front foot so far back, slide it up closer to the bolts, makes your Ollies more stable.

make sure your foot isnt turned when you ollie. cause when your front foot is turned you turn as well, so if your front foot is straight you'll ollie straight

Like most people said, keep your shoulders parallel to the board. That's a main fact.
Also make sure that you pop and slide in a flowing motion, then practice and you'll be doing fine.
