How to Pop Shuvit.
After learning ollies, the pop shuvit is probably the next trick you should work on. The pop shuvit is probably the easiest trick in the eyes of most skaters, it is simply a 180 degree turn of the skateboard, without you turning…so you pop the board, jump, the board turns 180 and you land back on it.
There are 2 different ways to do a pop shuvit, frontside and backside. Backside is when you kick the board back with your back foot, and frontside is the other way…you kick it in front of you with your back foot. Backside shuvits are a bit easier to learn, so we will concentrate on those for now. See picture to the left for example.
So, when you do this trick you want to have your back foot on the edge of the tail, and your front foot in the middle or close to the front bolts. Your front foot doesn’t really do that much during this trick, it just sort of gets out of the way. When you have your feet set up, bend down like you are going to do an ollie, pop the board but sort of scoop it and kick your back foot behind you…don’t do anything with your front foot, just try to keep it out of the way. Hopefully your board will turn 180, when it does try to catch it with your front foot to stop it from spinning and land back on your board on top of the bolts. This is a bit easier when you can have it explained visually, so watch the video below for more explanation of this trick.
