If you pop the scoop backwards you don’t need to apply pressure or flick as much in the front, and vise versa. Hope that helps

That’s why you don’t Nyjah do tre to blunt, nose grind, overcrook, prob cuz he’s most skilled doing them where the back foot is responsible for more of the control

Also notice with noille center of gravity is more forward but not as much as it’s more backwards when ur in normal stance; because which direction ur moving in matters as well and requires less force hint nollie needs less. So since a tre is back foot heavy because two thirds of its motion are created by the back foot, naturally we push them forward usually to compensate and most people aren’t very skilled so they overdo it/ can’t do it backwards. But one should master all of possible

Haha thanks!

Great to hear!

Glad it was helpful!

Also I say 16 movements because if you keep your knee bent and move your whole leg from the hip, there’s your 16 (knee) movements. You can still place your foot in the same directions. I watched p.rod explain varial heels and that informed my ideas a bit. For the front foot, he says ‘lead with the knee’… and I found it useful later when trying to analyze my own mobility and form a basic concept of ergonomic knee movement as it applies to my skating. He’s not using his knee to get his foot to the point where you flick the board, but using that specific knee movement as a compound movement to get a fs rotation going without a scoop. (This is probably closer to what you call a swing movement.) Also the movement you are doing with the back leg is not in this second area, because you are twisting the leg (still from the hip) but like if you are going to sit indian style (crosslegged) or as if going to do butterflies (the stretch movement used for flexors) or any movement like that. This kind of movement is totally normal for the knee too. And I consider it primary and then comes the more stable knee movement. The knee doesn’t really go anywhere so I feel crazy explaining the foot and saying ‘knee’, but I am very much fixated on why the knee lol. Also you can combine the movements to make many compound movements, by following the same line of thinking. Also there's an old video with ben dregros and he explains how his pop is more of a slap motion. his foot and tail never touch the ground at the same time, only the tail as he gives it a quick slap with the tip of his toe as he's extending his body for the jump. I think it's interesting and I can't say if the claims apply to my ollies, but he seems to prove it with footage. I wonder what you think about this? Also from watching your tre flip videos and seeing you scoop it sideways I determind that I could pop it sideways (for the pop shuvit) but mostly by scraping on the tail during that moment instead of letting it flip. That's obviously a pop with more contact, which I feel also helps me stay balanced after swinging my leg after the pop and scrape. I usually catch these with no flips and no slip-outs. So I know there's a place and time for a full contact pop. But there might be a 'slap' type of pop out there. Sometimes from random videos I glean weird stuff. Like the knee moving out to allow you to bend your ankle enough for the ollie, to get a good contact patch on the front foot. I found a video linked to a reddit post (99% of New Skaters Get This WRONG About OLLIES!), and someone explains this. And I was like, "damn, yeah". The type of things I wish I could see you explain one day are like fs reverts, and power kickflips, like to practice flip out of slides. A buddy explained to me once how to bs revert and he said "just throw your hip all the way into it". I didn't own bag of suck, someone I knew did, but I remember someone in that video does a fs revert in a line very cleanly. But the trick eludes me, and I can't explain it. There's also an easy version where you pivot on the front truck, that's not what I mean at all.

Two more tips I use that I'd like to share with you from my own notes (I do a lot of ollie'ing right now), I noticed sometimes one can pop really close to the concave, away from the edge of the tail. you can see it in yuto's 'yuto show' part and the 'one line' video showing attempts, the nosegrind nollie flip out, the camera is really close to the tail. seems like a very straight pop and natural stance. It's like the anti-scoop stance. This just works when the situation calls for a straight pop. I use it a lot now. (I wouldn't wanna talk too much about his techniques because whatever he's doing is working and he's in his prime and I wouldn't wanna jinx it if he were to read my dumb analysis, haha) Another tip that helps me overall is the one in this video... 'Should you look at your board or the obstacle when you ollie?' I just went back to find where I picked up that techique as I couldn't remember. Couldn't recommend that clip more. Ollied up a drop today using this and it felt so good! And kickflip down the same drop last week. A good mechanism for how to look down at that griptape is so valuable. If I rode up to a drop focused on my griptape the whole time I would say 'f this' and bail. Almost got some frontside reverts also, on fresh blacktop, but still impossible for me on the sidewalk.

How to looking???

Please refer to this. How do Treflips REALLY work? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbVzarOhubO9pZs.html

True. Let’s see…

Haha I’ll take it as a compliment.
