is it true that u ollie higher when u have your foot on the very tip of the tail, because my ollies are higher that way.

Yeah you would, you get more leverage against the board and more power into the ollie. In the same way as if you try to turn a wrench by holding it right by the nut its alot harder than to turn it by holding the very end of the wrench.

yeh logically i gues because theres more pressure on the end so the reaction force with the equilibrium would be different so there would a different force. and the momentum would be different meaning thered be different reaction force so the board would go higher

what i just said is total bs. however, if you can translate that it might actually make some sense
