Skateboard Trick Tips: Pop Shove It
|
Pop Shove It - This trick consists of popping your skateboard and spin the back of your board (the tail) either right or left. It's a very easy trick to learn because you do not ollie at all. It's all pop, that's why it's called a pop shove it. You need to learn how to spin the board 180 degrees so it lands right back under your feet .The placement of you feet helps a lot, you got to be able to push the tail of your board down and spin the board at the same time. Delay the shove with your back foot a bit so you're a little level and the board will spin level not all out of shape. Once you got the basic down you need to find a comfortable speed to do it at. Go at that comfortable speed, pop it up and push the tail down and out, either left or right. Also push to the side with your front foot to help the board spin cleaner. Once your board has completed a 180, catch the board with your back foot, put your front foot on and bend your knees to land. If you did all that right you should have landed the pop shove it. Now practice the trick. Work on popping the board more to get higher. And also try rolling faster, so you get the hang of the trick. Good Luck!
