How To: 360 POP SHUVIT | 360 Pop Shuvit Tutorial

What this video teaches

Tom Rohrer's 360 pop shuvit tutorial identifies back foot placement as the critical variable: the toe must NOT hang off the edge (which causes the board to flip), but instead sit on center so pressure goes straight down into the tail. He explains that going up on the toes of the back foot (heel lifted) concentrates pressure in the tail hotspot and enables the full 360 scoop, and introduces the key concept that leaning slightly toward the toe-side of the board before popping drives the rotation in the correct plane.

Key tips

• 1Do NOT hang the back toe off the edge: toe hanging causes the board to flip; keep the toe on center where you can just see the griptape past the shoe tip
• 2Go up on your toes on the back foot (lift the heel): this concentrates pressure in the tail hotspot and gives you the power for a 360 scoop
• 3Front foot mirrors an ollie stance: centered weight on ball of foot, this creates an equilibrium that keeps the board level through the full spin
• 4Put more weight on the back foot when bending down to pop: you should see your back knee push out further than the front knee
• 5Lean slightly toward the toe-side of the board before popping: this angles the rotation in the correct plane for a clean 360
• 6Shoulders stay mostly square with only a slight forward angle in the direction of travel, not a full turn like a 360 flip
• 7The scoop is a downward pop combined with a sweeping back-foot motion: the ankle drives the rotation, not just the leg
• 8Practice the scooping motion stationary with only the back foot until the 360 rotation is consistent before adding the jump
