What this video teaches
Tom Rohrer's detailed 360 pop shuvit breakdown correcting a common myth: hanging your back toe off the tail edge causes the board to flip, so pressure should stay centered instead. Covers weight distribution, torso angle, lean direction, and the ankle-scoop mechanics that create the full rotation, plus the front-foot lift needed to clear the spin.
Key tips
- Keep your back toe on the board rather than hanging it off the tail edge, so your pressure pushes straight down the center and the board doesn't flip
- Set your front foot almost exactly like an ollie, just shifting your back toe slightly for the scoop
- Put most of your weight on your back foot, rising up onto the ball and toes while keeping your front foot's weight centered for balance
- Lean slightly over your toe side rather than your heel side, leaning back over the heels is what causes the board to flip
- Keep your torso square with only a slight shoulder angle toward your direction of travel, don't over-rotate like you would for a 360 flip
- Bend your ankle down and kick it forward at the same time during the pop to generate the scoop that spins the board
- Lift your front foot up toward your chest right as you scoop so it clears the board's rotation
- Land with both feet on the bolts and roll away, catching with either the front foot alone or both feet together depending on your style
