Character sometimes not crouching when right stick pulled down

I'm aware that sometimes my character's animation state makes them unable to crouch by design, this is on top of that. 

Sometimes when I'm preparing for a flip trick, my character doesn't crouch to show that they're "charging" an ollie. Sometimes when this happens I'm able to do a full height ollie even though it didn't show my character crouching, sometimes my character won't ollie at all. Seems like there's a disconnect been what the animation shows and what's happening mechanically under the hood.

It seems to happen mostly when my character would be animation locked, such as right after a push. Normally I push, hold down on the stick, there's a slight delay as my character finishes the push animation and begins crouching, and then I can ollie. Sometimes though, I push, hold down, and my character never crouches. From there like I said sometimes I can full height ollie sometimes I can't. I'm using a Nintendo switch pro controller that works for every other aspect of the game as far as I can tell.
