I read a few archived post about ollies but I didn't understand. I am a total noob and I see peeps ollie huge and my ollies are a joke. Does anyone have any advice to rock huge ollies?

Skateboard more. It is a very explosive move that requires (IMHO) a lot of explosive power in your legs. Getting solid with a skate ollie helps a lot.

Something my buddies and I do when the lake is chopped up is ride about 25 ft out around 20ish mph and play around on the wake like a spine ramp, ollie re-entrys, stuff like that. Simply build those muscles and really focus on the movement being a powerful ollie.

Yeah skateboarding. I have an ollie board that I can just use in my front room so when I'm not doing anything I just hop on that.

Try pushing down on your front foot first them jumping up. It will feel akward at first, but keep trying it and you will soon get the feel.
