What this video teaches

Aaron Kyro's fix for a 360 pop shove it: placing the ball of the back foot right on the tip of the tail rather than centered, which keeps the board spinning flat instead of flipping. Distinctive angle: the front foot is framed as a fail-safe that should stay on the board through the rotation to prevent primo landings, drilled in stages before removing it.

Key tips

  • Put the ball of your back foot right on the tip of the tail rather than centered, this is the key fix for keeping the board flat through a full rotation
  • Pop straight down hard with your back foot to drive the 360 rotation
  • Leave your front foot on the board as much as possible through the pop, it acts as a fail-safe that keeps the board from flipping
  • Bend your back knee through the rotation so the board has room to spin underneath you, then extend it to land
  • Drill it back-foot-only first: pop straight down and try to keep the board flat with your front foot completely off
  • Progress to stepping off with the back foot while keeping your front foot flat on the board through the spin
  • Don't worry if the board turns or lands primo during the back-foot-only drill, that gets solved once your front foot is added back
  • Have your basic pop shove-its and kickflips solid before attempting the full 360 version
