Pop Shove-it
Pop Shove-it
Written By: Alex Webb
Foot Positioning:The stance used in a pop shove-it is the same used during the ollie. Have your upper foot on the bolts and your lower foot should be covering up the tail. When you land your lower foot will be on the nose and your upper will be between the center of your bored and the bolts.
Spinning And Popping The Board:You get the board to spin and pop up in one motion. Simply push down on the tail with your trailing foot while sliding it backwards. The backwards motion gets it to spin and pushing it down will make it pop. Your upper foot should gently help push the board forward.
Landing: This is probably the hardest part of the pop shove-it. If you ride regular your board will usually end up further to the top left of where you started out. Try to spin and pop the board a few times with out landing it to see about where it ends up. This spin and pop should be swift and controlled. Next when you have seen where the board mostly lands jump in that direction while spinning and popping your board. Start doing this trick in the grass where it is easier to land and then move onto hard ground.
