What this video teaches

Aaron Kyro's step-by-step progression for the base frontside shove it, framing the front foot as an anti-primo safety mechanism kept close to the board during each drill stage. Distinctive angle: a pop-straight-down emphasis rather than a heavy scoop, since the board naturally wants to travel backward and the pop is what brings it forward under you.

Key tips

  • Place your front foot straight and centered, and your back foot just slightly back from the tip of the tail
  • Pop straight down rather than scooping hard, this trick is more about a controlled pop than an aggressive scoop
  • Practice stepping off the board first, popping and nudging the tail forward while keeping the rotation flat
  • Add your front foot back on for the next drill stage, stepping off with only your back foot while keeping your front foot close to the board as your anti-primo control
  • Keep the board flat during every drill rep, if it turns onto its side you will land primo
  • Bend your back knee to get airborne once the step-off drill feels automatic every try
  • Catch the board with your front foot while it is still in the air, then set your back foot down after
  • Add a little rolling speed rather than trying this trick from a dead stop
