Question
i am practicing my ollie on a carpet, and i have a couple problems.
1)i still get freaked out on falling
2)i cant get the board in air
3)everytime i try, my left leg kicks out for some reason
4)when i try to slide my foot on it to lift the board up nothing happens
5)when i do get it in the air my board goes flies 3-4 feet in front of me
i think that my rear leg is holding the back down but i'm not sure

Answer
Hmm. Weird. You should get over all fear first of all, or you'll never get it. Besides that, all I can do is tell you to find a little guide online somewhere, use google, and try the technique. Not much else I can think of to help you. Keep practicing.
