We've all got different problems and different solutions for those problems. Your solutions definitely seemed to help you out for sure. I had several months without skating (cruising yes but no trick sessions) before the turn of the year and when I returned I setup a 14.5 wheel base deck on regular Ace AF1s. I would have liked to say it worked for me but it really didn't. I'm a tall dude yet it had been a while since I was on anything longer than 14.25 and Ventures. So stepping up to 14.5 I figured the Aces would help with retaining the timing because of their shorter wheel base. I had over 10 sessions on the setup and was starting to not enjoy my skating because firstly I felt squirly on the Aces and secondly I felt as if my tricks weren't levelling out very well even if I was really trying to. I switched to some Venture V-Hollows and everything instantly changed. I don't know if it was the better stability with Ventures, the lighter truck, the elongated true wheel base or the slightly lower truck but whatever it was really helped. Back to levelling out and with a better feeling and higher pop. I dare say my pop timing and height feels better than it did on 14.25 wheel bases and definitely better than 14 ones. I just think my body works better with a longer wheel base. Maybe your's does too? There are 7.75s out there with 14.25 or more wheel bases if you want to try that. Though I don't want to give you any setup madness!

Change ollie stance. Try your back foot below center. You can feel powerful pop. And front foot lift up first . dont drag up fornt foot. Try one week your ollie will be super high.

That’s good advice especially for my back foot, I have a bad habit of putting my whole foot on the tail. Thank you!
