How to 360 Shove-it : The Key Secret by SKATE HACKS is a skateboarding tutorial for the Frontside 360 Shove-it. A rider-perspective breakdown of the whip-style 360 shove-it, where the back foot stays engaged with the board through more of the rotation rather than releasing right after the scoop.
What this video teaches
A rider-perspective breakdown of the whip-style 360 shove-it, where the back foot stays engaged with the board through more of the rotation rather than releasing right after the scoop. Distinctive angle: keeping the back toes hanging off the toe-side pocket the whole way through is framed as the single fix for landing primo or flipped.
Key tips
- Set up like a tre flip, with your back toes hanging off the tail's edge, that hang is what lets your toes guide and grip the board
- Let your back foot whip and guide the board around through the rotation instead of releasing it immediately after the scoop
- Keep your back toes cupped around the board through roughly the first 180 degrees of rotation so it can't slip away or flip
- Get your back foot solid back on the board again by around the 270-degree mark so you're ready to catch clean
- Drill the motion on flat ground with your front foot down and only your back foot on the board, scooping and whipping repeatedly
- Let the back foot move in one continuous scoop-and-guide motion rather than scooping and yanking the foot away like a regular shove-it
- Expect this whip style to feel more stable for stair sets and gaps than a dangling front-foot style
- Practice the whip motion repeatedly, it's a feel-based technique more than a single mechanical fix
