So stoked this helps! I will be releasing a multi video series on how to ollie that will give you a process and plan to follow. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out some of the other ollie vids on the channel they have some good content that can help.
Is the roll of the front foot more towards the pinky toe or more directly over the ankle? I feel like I don’t have the mobility to go directly over the ankle
I'd say for most its toward the pinky toe. That said the quicker you lift the front foot and the more the board get's vaulted up the more likely the nose is to touch the top of your shoe on the laces. For me it's a outer edge of the foot feel more than pinky toe. You will need to work with the feel and pay attention to how your foot movement is effecting the board. For example, If going toward the pinky toe causes your board to rotate then adjust.
I am a 44 year old and I am learning how to skateboard and I have a quick question. How do I overcome the fear of hard pushing? Is it as simple as just keep practicing?
Great question! Apprehension is a good thing it keeps you safe. Your brain is telling you that you're not ready or that the area that your learning to push in might have some obstacles that interfere with your confidence. First and foremost find smooth pavement with lots of open space and not too many people. Have you seen our how to push videos? Check these links out: ruclips.net/video/YEFP8WGYM_Q/видео.html ruclips.net/video/cCUDU2pJwZY/видео.html There's some great drills and ideas in those to help you feel more confident while pushing. The most critical thing you can do is simply practice balancing on your front foot a ton! On your board on the carpet, rolling slow, turning while you balance on front foot. Lot's and lot's of creative front foot balance drills will accelerate your progress. Hope this helps.

As you're initiating the rise/jump, is your weight distributed 50/50 between both legs?
Yes this way you can use both legs to create a powerful jump before you lift and snap.
