When popping hard for an ollie the board often shifts in the air so I land horizontally and can hardly ride away if at all. (Looks like an incomplete frontside ollie) This is happening pretty consistently. I have been dragging my foot straight up the board so not to push it in a spinning motion. So when I ollie on or off something with a lot of momentum it is dangerous because I often land awkwardly. Why is this happening? Is there a general problem that causes this?
 
could be you're opening your body up, and check where you're actually pushing the tail down. it'll spin if its on the edge
 
I think it may be because when you try to pop extra hard, you open your shoulders up, turning your body, causing that sort or fs 1 you're describing. Try to keep your shoulders over your feet and pop straight up, especially with your arms
 
like the last two comments said it's likely in your shoulders. i sometimes find myself doing this too if look too far ahead when i'm rolling into a trick and my body naturally wants to land feet next to each other vs front to back.

you're turning your shoulders while you're sliding your front foot, or when you pop and push your back foot down you might be doing a very slight fs shove it by pushing down and in front of you at the same time.

Post a video dude.
