Why can’t I Ollie? Do I just suck?

I was practicing Ollies in my room cause it’s raining outside, whenever I try to Ollie nothing happens, the nose just goes up a little and that’s it, I can’t get my tail on the ground, is this some kind of fear response? I feel like I should know how to Ollie by now.

Help

I don’t know anything about skating but i thought it interesting so i am giving it a go

I have no idea about what makes a good board or how much a cheap board makes it harder to learn

Can someone point me in the right direction

I brought the one in the photos for 10 quid of facebook, i have done like 2 hours and the wheels are going into the board

How do i listen to music while skating?

I want to keep tunes jamming in my ear phones while skating, but just have an android and some corded ear buds. YouTube always stops as soon as there's movement in my pocket. How do I listen to music while skating?

Started skating but afraid to push

Any tips on how to get rid of this fear? Any easy eays or tricks on how i can begin to push? For some reason I'm afraid to push because it seems that my back foot is always late or my front foot won't turn when i insert my back foot on the skate(if that makes sense?)

I've been practicing staying up on the skate and so far thats fine, no fear or bad balance
