This Household Item Will Fix Your Pop Shuvits

Hello and welcome back to another video today. We are doing frontside shove it so let's get straight into it So first things first the difference between frontside and backside backside the shove it spins this way and frontside the shove it spins This way frontside shove it is probably the easier one to pop and make it look nice and high So we're gonna go over that today Alright, so I actually have a secret hack for this one And if you haven't seen it before for my normal shove it tutorial you're gonna want to grab yourself a card It can be any card Pokemon Starbucks gift card cost or whatever It may be just chuck that card on the floor and we're gonna practice the foot movement first, right? So for a frontside shove it the boards going that way around so you're gonna kick with your back foot This way right this way and a good way to get used to that motion is to have your foot on the card and the card You're gonna want to fire it that way. Okay, so toes on the card use the ball of your foot and then go That is essentially the foot movement. We're gonna practice it one more time with the card Just so you know what? I mean remember card on the floor Toes on the card this foot. We're just gonna jump up with it at the moment jump off this leg So you're going like this? But as you jump off the leg you shoot it that way to get the front shove it in a perfect world She looks just like this Now onto the board. All right, so we're gonna go over the foot position first real quick Just to give you a little rundown for me the front foot It doesn't matter too much But I like to have it about two thirds of the way up with my toes slightly hanging off This makes it much easier to get the foot out of the way. So the board can Complete its rotation without any hiccups So the back foot that we just used to scoop the card with now The back foot is either gonna go dead center of the tail right in the middle on the ball of the foot Remember or you're gonna have it about 10% closer towards you on this side of the tail This side is for your backside shove it this side is for your front side shove it So first of all, we're just gonna practice the motion. So don't even worry about this foot first Stand a bit further back. So when the board comes towards you doesn't hit you in the shins So just practice that same motion you did with the card Just like that super simple super easy It's gonna take you a little while to get that form on point enough practice and you should have it looking Like that in no time and if you want to be extra safe to avoid it hitting your legs Have it facing this way to the board straight from where you're facing and then just do it like this with your foot to the side Also another great way to practice The motion like that Alright now we need to talk about commitment commitment by far the hardest mental battle of any trick But the grass is gonna be our friend right here We're not gonna put the board in the grass because you can get a bit of a dusty pop from that So what we're gonna do is we're gonna put our board on the concrete next to the grass With our back facing the grass and we're gonna jump backwards so that when the board lands on the grass It's not gonna be able to slide and slip out anywhere because the grass is gonna hold you in place nicely So now that you've practiced it of one foot do that a few times to get yourself used to the grass and give you a bit Of confidence now, so we're gonna have that foot in this position I told you toes slightly hanging off back foot just 10% closer towards you than the middle and now we're gonna jump backwards a tiny Bit to compensate for it and see if we can land on the bolts So that's your first step for landing on the board as soon as you can do that do that 50 a hundred times because trust me sometimes it does take that long Just to get yourself used to it get the muscle memory and then when you're ready Pick that bad boy up off the grass and bring it back to the pool like any good summer's day We are now back by the pool and we're gonna now try it stationary So put your board somewhere safe usually better if you're not on like a hill surface So make sure the grounds flat you can tell the grounds flat if you just put your board there and it doesn't roll anywhere Definitely the safest way to do so now that we know what we're doing. We know our technique We know our foot position pop it jump backwards and when you land Try that with your feet spread apart and your knees low This gives you a better center of gravity so that if worst-case scenario you do slip and fall you're closer to the ground So you can just put hand down makes it so much easier to bail so foot position, you know it we're gonna jump backwards and Just like that you're gonna learn how to front shove it and after you've done it say straight you can just add speed at your own pace tiny bit of speed at first and Then once you get more comfortable just get faster and faster until you're doing it down 20 stairs This has been Dan the webspace skateboard instructor.
